1962 FC Around the World
Sent over via email it's from a collection of videos on an FC adventure around the world that has been documented on eWillys prior and there are many other stories out there on the trip to dig up.
Check out this neat video.
Thanks Jim for sharing this one.
In 1959 Noble Trenham and Dean Fisher went out on a “three year adventure to the ends of the earth”. At 9500 lbs the FC was a beast. While the one review I read related to Dean Fisher's book "with only one companion and a vehicle that broke down endlessly" . That part missed the cut on this exact video, but overall the rig did make it back, I would not expect anything less, there have been alot of Adventures Around the World and they are just brutal stories of the places they went and hw they made it through.

In 2019 Dean Fisher published a book documenting the trip.
There is a great review of the book here.....
