This unit was (as always) completely drained last Fall. It currently is sitting at an elevation of 5000+ feet. We keep access open to this area as we need to. However there is about 4' of snow now. For a successful buyer we will road truck to Interstate 90 for loading on your transport or you drive away.

We are not going to go for a new contract so want to sell now. The truck is not current on DOT, or registration. That will be buyers responsibility.

So no test drives, no tire kickers. If you have questions just email.
