1957 FC-170 Janesville, CA Still Available

UPDATE II: Still Available. This has rust in the cab corners and a sprung drivers door. There also no mechanicals for the boom.

UPDATE: Dan found a photo of this FC from years ago:

Now that is a good deal. Not rotted out and set up as a wrecker. Cool. Wish it was closer to me.

Ted Corder was in Susanville... sounds like they did a lot of cool work (http://che.stparchive.com/Archive/CHE/CHE01291949p02.php)

Wow Dan. Great find on the pic. I will add that to the post. That could help someone if they wanted to restore it! - Dave

Good thing I am not looking for a cool FC. This one is almost in my back yard. If I am in Susanville this weekend I might try and get more pics.

HI Cary, The ad disappeared from Craigslist, so I don't know if it sold or not. If I see it again I will send you an email. - Dave
