[quote name='csff25' post='4074' date='Jul 5 2006, 16:58 ']Thanks Dave, when I was told the story about the C. Sq. and Tully ALFs. It was when the rigs were brand new. Maybe they were the first two built. Either way, the Highland rig is only the 3rd Top Mount Century, that I recall seeing. At 25-30 built, they are still a rare truck. Thanks for the info.
