robin craig Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Just ended up buying a 101 FC that has dropped into my lap after looking after it for 4 years and shunting it around. A friend who joined the Navy over 4 years ago finally phoned and said he was coming home on leave and wanted to scrap the truck as no one would buy it for the money he wanted for it. After settling him down I managed to convince him that he was not going to be allowed to scrap it. He then broke down and made us the deal of a lifetime, so my lady and I and the bank line of credit bought it. Im not saying how little we paid as it is obscene. Just trying to jack up a swap of Ferret sand channels for a wide track trailer to make a nice pair. These trailers are rare over here and buddy has one not being used and he needs Sand Channels but doesn't know it.
