Re: IHC FFN-3 crash truck @ Barstow Truck
That is indeed an early 40's IHC FFN-3 crash truck. IHC BLD-269 straight 6 gas engine, 5 speed crashbox trans, John Bean pump. I've got one all apart in my garage being restored right this very minute. Wish I could pick that one up to cherry pick...
Hi Mike,

Hope that helps.
