'62 Forward Control Production Numbers By Month
Dave Newell kindly provided me with the serial number of the final FC built each month at the two plants which were building the rigs (Flint, MI and St. Louis, MO).
Loadsides, in both locations, were built on the same line as Rampsides, Greenbriers and Corvans. Therefore, there is no way to tell from the information below how many Loadsides were built each month or what their serial numbers were.
