Now that the truck chassis has arrived the crane body needs to be purchased and installed on the unit. Quotes were solicited from four vendors. Caldwell Country Chevrolet offered the crane body at $126,850.00 with a 10-month delivery. Silsbee Ford offered the crane body at $119,537.60 with a 6-week delivery.
