The Model FCB was Ahrens-Fox's first (and subsequently last) cab-forward custom chassis, introduced in 1955. It was ultimately built for about a year, until 1957 (when the company went out of business), resulting in only about 6 models ever being produced. The truck utilized front-end sheet metal from a bus, and forward control chassis technology from the company C.D. Beck. Mack, incidentally, purchased the designs from C.D. Beck, rebadged them, & introduced it as its' own now widely-known C-Model.
