Ed. I admire your FCs. I have always wanted to own one. When I started working for my brother in the '50s in the construction world, there was a guy who bought one of these trucks and installed an in-line grout pump in the bed. It was a terrific truck because it would let him get the truck into areas where he couldn't get a regular truck. Of course, the limits were in the ready mix truck, which were usually 3 to 5 yard capacity trucks in those days. Drivers weren't afraid of their trucks and usually pushed them to the limit. Anyway, there aren't many of the old FCs around anymore. Congratulations on have 2 really nice ones. Jerry Henry
