A lot of thought went into this Amazing 5 ton grip truck. It was built from the ground up with an emphasis on Organization and Mobility yet with an added bonus of crew amenities that enhance comfort and moral.

All of this Saves the production Time and Money while also enhancing Crew Safety and Productivity.
Main features include:

*24'x8 Box insulated and carpeted for comfort and sound deadening with Etrack attachment points. Exterior painted exactly 18% reflective grey for long distance exposure readings.

*Box has hardwood floors with Diamond plate kicks and trim.

*Highly efficient LED interior and exterior lighting throughout, can run for days on battery bank when fully charged.

*Killer Crew station with workbench, premium custom component audio, High visibility tool drawers. TOOLS INCLUDED

*120vt 20A power in the box, runs off a massive 6 deep cycle battery bank that can supply 20A for upwards of 3 hours.

*200watt solar panels on roof, Solar controller and 30A shore power provide chargeing and on grid bypass power.

*Full power system monitoring and control for the workbench.

*Custom racks and shelving system maximizes floor space while keeping gear very organized.

*Cab also has premium custom sound and has a full time 7" LCD with back up Infrared camera system.

*Jockey boxes all the way around for storing wood, cribbing, jib weights, tools ect.

The electrical and wiring/audio instal alone was over 12K and done properly at a high end audio shop in washinton state. The racks were an additional $4k without labor. jockies were 3K, so just the component alone are worth more than I am asking, feel free to price them out and add install :)

Known issues:
Some of the diamond plate trim has not been completed in the box, one of the external area lights needs replaced, these are a few scratches from where trees have jumped out on dark movie ranch roads, there is a small hole in the rear roof that has been patched, some of the carpeting on the wall is looking rough but can easily be covered by diamond plate, The lift gate is noisy and could use a lube, the parking break on this model is and always has been a joke, virtually no 4900 operators have had much luck with it due to design flaw, so chock blocks are required on inclines. The Battery array is getting closer to 5 years old and does not hold a charge as well as it used to so box power starts to need shore power pass through after a couple hours, however the 3 battery starter array is less than a year old and solid as is the gate battery (3 battery arrays on this truck).

The vehicle does fall under the california diesel regulations but qualifies for the non enforced, self reporting "under 5000 miles per year" rule which allows it to operate. It is not of a year that requires blue tech which saves thousands of dollars a year.

I swept it and wiped it down but it could use a heavy detailing to make it shine.

It is a ROCK SOLID truck that has ALWAYS STARTED, no matter what weather, the breaks are new, a couple of the tires are new and most have several years left on em as near as I can tell. the Air conditioning needs refilling, heater blows hot air just fine. Mechanically as far as I know it needs nothing, its oil is current its tags are current and again it starts everytime and in many ways out performs the nearly brand new galpin 5 ton I just bought, it is speedy for a rig this size, handles very well, and has good torque.

She is a very strong truck and is very much loved by me and the crews who have worked on her. Her name is Betty.

This truck has made me hundreds of thousands of dollars in the 5 years I have owned it. It is a killer rig with a lot of unique features and character, it is a pirate ship worthy of a hearty crew and has been treated as such and reward anyone willing to put a little love into it.

$13,995
