Hi-This 79 white truck was a wrecker -then a big stick was added-finally the unit as you see it was the final replacement alas no pump no hydraulics etc. It has pettibone cast into the outriggers however I cannot figure out what type loader is on it- no markings except the steel diamond sections where possibly a name could have been at one time or another. Any help would be appreciated! thank you brian

Looks a little like an old Barko. The early Hoods copied Barko also

I agree, looks like a Barko 80 to me

looks just like the pettibone loader a guy had here  can you take a few pic of the base with the swing gear  if its a bone loader they are rugged but vary hard to get parts for the loader should have been an off red/orange color  but what ever the loader is good luck with it and the truck  both look to be in real good shape

Nice rig, i believe the loader is a Husky Brute. I loaded tree length with a one, it could lift one cd at a time, this is healing it out. It was a monster of a loader.

if the structure is sound i wouldn't worry about who made it. they only make the boom and structure any way, hydraulics may be commercial or parker or such. any hydro shop can supply seals.
