    I was coming into Carlyle, IL, from the north, today. Off to the east side of Rt127, I spotted a whole row of FLD120 condos, in black. They’re behind this complex, outside the fence line. There’s a new building in the back, which appears to be a trucking company. I’m assuming the trucks belong to that building? I believe there were ~10 trucks, give or take take. I saw them at the last minute, so not certain on the number. If anyone’s looking for a classic FLD to bring back to life, these might be an option, provided the owner doesn’t think he has a gold mine. The animal control building should provide a solid marker, if someone pursues this.

    they could be repo'd units hiding from the trucking company, until auction?

    or they could maybe be units that the owner owes money on, and he is hiding them from the repo men.???

    Nah! Too out in the open. They can easily be seen by anyone, on the highway. They’re parked in a nice, neat row.

    If I had stupid money and needed a hobby, I’d definitely be trying to snag one. I think, they’re the best truck I’ve ever driven.

    No idea whose it is, but, they can be sharp. This is a 48” condo, which weren’t common.

    I'd reckon that's a 60". The bunk window is too far back. Granted this is a 112 with 48" condo, but look at bunk window, & baggage door placement..

    Either way good to know. I'm a FLD guy, & in IL often so could be something I can use.

    Oh yeah. Without extenders, it fooled me. Probably a 70”, though? Didn’t the condo only come 48” and 70”.

    I drove 48” and 70” flattops.

    And, the trucks have all been moved to where I marked in red, in my original pic. There was nothing beside that building, today.
