The Optioneer was rare indeed. I don't have any numbers, but there weren't many. Corry's was a 1966. I do know that Hy-View FC in Cheektowaga, NY had two, a 1966 and a 1972.

I'm sure there were more, but not many. The Optioneer was based on the FWD Tractioneer, a cab designed for utility companies that could carry the whole crew to the job site. The officer's seat flipped foward so the three people in back could get out. FWD also offered pumpers with this cab, but they were 4 wheel drive. Honey Pot #6 in Nantocoke, PA still runs one. There was also one in West Valley, NY.
