    Ended up with the 1997 . Left on picture. Seems like the three trucks were part of the same fleet, but this one did not get converted to fire truck. Now to arrange pickup, get batteries, push button and “vrooomm”. I am an optimist😄

    Fdc missing m35a2

    Hello all, I have the oportunity to bid tomorow on a 1993 m35a2c truck on an auction site.(one on right) I went to look at the truck (a retired fire fighter truck) and saw the fdc is Removed (bypassed also). The part is missing from the IP. Could it be as ‘simple’ as cutting a piece of metal...
