Default Our new F-550 Wireline work truck..56k no no

finally got this monday afternoon..took several weeks to get the truck built from ford and then have the bed and crane put on..monday night we got our skid with all our hydralics and spool on then tuesday to friday we designed and built out new lubricator (long pipe with the ladder) and how it lays down on the crane and rigs up..that was the hard part..but heres a few pics of it and the 2 wells we worked on today..weighing 17,000 lbs it got 10 mpg..and it actually rides smoother than my damn truck
