The first Factory Five slabside

[REAL 1]

Very impressive.

The body appears to be a very accurate reproduction. More accurate then their 427 body.

Beautiful.

It's a Mr Bruce body, not Factory Five.

The mold was made from my Allied slabside body, My Allied body was made in 1965/66 by Parrish Plastics in New Kensington Pa (4 miles down the road) they dropped shipped the bodies as Allied Inc from the info I've found Parrish made the original mold off a 289 slabside from Pittsburgh & only 3 bodies were made the mold was lost when perfect Plastics bought Parrish. This Body was installed on CSX-2575 in 1966/67 until 1995 when a FIA body was installed & I acquired the slabside around 1998.

Around 1970.

slapside bodies in 1982 when Dean was selling Cobra bodies in Fremont Nebraska?

I don't know anything about Dean, I talked to the owner of Smooth Line he worked at Parrish & Perfect Plastic & told me about the Allied/Parrish connection when I told him the history on my body he thinks it was the first one made/sold according to the fellow in Beaver falls Pa who bought the body in 66/67 & installed it on 2575.
