That is good to know about the body style change year as that was a mystery to me also. It's funny with these trucks in that one sees many 2000 to 2004 models but then it seems like the only other Yale reach trucks for sale are really late ones, like 2011 or 2012.

Seems to be a major void from 2005 to 2010 as far as what is out there for sale.

I'm going to call that eBay dealer tomorrow with the 2004 models and really grill him on the AC drive.... maybe to the point of taking off the right inside panel where the drive unit resides to see if it says AC or DC.

Just seems bizarre that Yale would have AC back then but not brag about the fact with a large "AC Equipped" decal or two on the truck. *Unless* AC was a bit of an "experiment" back then and they wanted to wait a bit to see how they performed in the field before they started plastering "AC Drive" stickers :-)

If anyone is wonder why I am obsessed with this I will explain ;-)
