XM211/M108 NEED advice

A long time ago I rescued this truck from the scraper.
I put some money and time into it to where I could get
it registered in California as a historical vehicle.

Essentially I rewired it with a harness I got for another truck and used new connectors, etc. Replaced a lot of parts.

I replaced a lot of the hydraulic hoses with new hoses
and piping where required. The last thing to tackle was the PTO and it has an internal pin broken I believe.

When they modified the truck to accomodate the M108 crane, they took out the automatic transmission and put in a manual one. so it has
a few ecsentric mods.

I am now disabled and can't do a lot and now
I am getting grief from the city. I don't really
want to sell it, but I may not have a choice.

Is there anyone in the SF Bay area, or further out
that would like to take on this project from me?
There are parts of this truck that are ugly but
it does have a crane with a 21 foot hook height.

I do want some money for it, but probably only a little over scrap value. Mostly I don't want it
going to China as scrap.

I will put up a classified add if anyone shows any interest.

I'll include two pics now, and more latter.

Thanks for any advice.100_1547.jpg100_1548.jpg
