This  and old boom truck that I built to put in my junkyard diorama in the future. I built several trucks for real that was similiar to this and this one is almost an exact copy of one. The real truck was built from an old Diamond Rio cabover trashtruck. The truck was built to drive backwards with the seat and all controls were turned around to face the rear. It was a lot easier to load junk cars and just to use for various jobs around the salvage yard. It would do as much as a big forklift , which I never could afford to own.
