Truss rods from Skyhook

I acquired these truss rods when I was assigned the job of cutting apart a 100' HD Skyhook crane and I`m curious as to the grade of steel that would have been used in them. Anyone have any idea? They`re 2" diameter and went from the gear housing to the front of the base tube. It was painful doing the job since I had used the crane extensively and it was a workhorse. The company wouldn`t sell it due to liability concerns. I also got various controls, a 24v winch motor, downhaul weight, and other assorted items. Thanks!

Can you re-add your pics?
