This is NOT MINE! I keep tabs on the Altec website listing trucks for sale. I look out for lower mileage trucks built prior to 2008 because of the emissions crap that has ruined virtually all diesel engines built since then. Here's the current list, sorted from cheapest to most expensive. https://www.altec.com/inventory/?fwp_newused=used&fwp_per_page=-1&fwp_sort=price_low

The new listing I just spotted is a 2001 International with 72K miles located in Denver, CO. The lift is a Terex XT55 (60' working height) and asking $40K (pretty much their lowest asking price). Be aware they make a huge amount of money on used trucks and getting 10% or more off the asking price is fairly easy. Also your personal inspection of the truck is critical as they are quite willing to fix almost anything you point out before the sale. Willingness to give out free repairs drops considerably once money has changed hands. But in any case, it looks like a nice clean truck.

They also have had this one on the site for a few months. I thought it sold then it reappeared recently. A 2004 Ford/Cummins with a rear mount 5TC-52 with material handler, less than 53K miles. Also asking $40K. I'd bet a person could drive this off for $32K if they pushed.

Man! Makes me want to flip ours and run out to Denver and grab that one. But we have been making full use of the elevator & added height, so 60' would feel a bit limiting. But the body on that one looks clean, ready to decal!
