Superdog Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Didn't Tom Spencer have an FC dump? Do you know if it is the one that Nuss has now?I'm not sure,but I thought I heard someone say this is one that Gary Mahan had for parts. I took these pics at the ATHS show in Springfield,MO. Nuss has another restored F I'm trying to find pics of.

j hancock Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 I just found the ad from 1994 where Tom Spencer was selling a few trucks. I guess Gary Mahan got his his FC tanker from Tom and the FC dump was for sale at the same time. 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Joe Ditchkus Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I used to haul coal to Panther Creek power plant that was on the same road as Tom spencer's shop. After work one day I stopped in at Tom's to look at trucks outside he had. He took me thru a tour of his shop. If I remember correctly Gary Mahan's Gulf Tanker was being restored there. Joe D.

ekennedy21 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 those are all FCSW's. There are actually a few of them kicking around. An FC is a single rear axle version of that truck.

ekennedy21 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I looked and I don't have any pictures of it, but if you google search Mack FC in is the Fauzio Brothers truck. The FC's had a C cab instead of the fully enclosed L style cab.

euclidtc12 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Haybag your 39 FH is that a Delboso truck Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43343-1949-mack-ft/page/2/#findComment-318652 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haybag Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Yes euclidtc12 mine is 1 of 5 Delboso ordered, do you know anything about the trucks or the company? This truck is a bit of a mystery. When I got it I sent the cab serial #1162 to the mack museum and got the chassis records. truck is currently spec'd out just as the records show. I looked closer and found the frame # didn't match, it is 1071,91 numbers earlier. When I contacted the museum with that # the person said that # sounded familiar. It did because they had Irv Bickfords's truck ,cab # 1071 on loan at the museum at that time. he couldn't get at the frame # of that truck to read it. My truck has been in it's current state for a long time,but who knows what could have happened over 70+ years? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43343-1949-mack-ft/page/2/#findComment-318820 Share on other sites More sharing options...
