Hi. The United States Army received a bunch of Duplex / Thibault aerial trucks in the 80s - one batch delivered in 1982 and 83, plus another in 1985 and 86.
I had always thought that these trucks were built completely by Thibault. However, I've recently heard that FTI may have been involved somehow. I know FTI built a lot of trucks for the US military, but this is the first I have heard of this. Thibault went on to deliver several ladders to the US Air Force - these trucks had 3D bodies and this was noted in the various delivery listings that I found. No mention of FTI anywhere.
FTI could have built the bodies, acted as a dealer or this information may be totally incorrect. Can anyone provide any insight?
Thanks!
