Bear in mind that the load capacity of a 130 is very small as its a particularly heavy vehicle, especially if its got a Quadtech type body. Since most 130s have been used commercially, in particular by utility companies, check the chassis thoroughly and also the suspension for signs of wear and tear. Hope that helps. Ross Quote
