1961, 65548-21775. An unusual "Tilt-Cab" modification.

In these picture the dual wheels and the dumping flatbed are shown. Dual wheels on an FC-150, represent a fairly straightforward modification. Those of you familiar with CJs, may be familiar with dealer or aftermarket dually conversions for those Jeeps equipped with trenchers and backhoes. Craig's TowBoy equipped FC also has dual wheels.

Now this is quite an undertaking! While many large snub-nose cab trucks have tilting cabs for better engine access, this feature wasn't incorporated into pickup truck size vehicles. I don't have any details on how this modification was accomplished. In particular, I don't know how the gearshift and steering linkages were modified or even how the brake line extending through the floor flexes or swivels. I hope to get more specifics on this truck in the future.
