UPDATE: Was $4200. **SOLD** Spotted by yours truly as it was being towed west from Denver on I-70.

“This is truck #383 of the estimated 400 diesel-powered, Forward Control Jeep crew cabs built for the Marine Corp in 1964. The majority of these rare trucks have not survived, and this one barely has. It appears to have been wrecked early in its life and was subsequently stripped of its drivetrain and military dash. The collectibility of these trucks makes this one worth restoring, though it will entail quite a bit of work. These rare four-door cabs were constructed largely of parts available from standard civilian production.

Enough remains of the rare military body, that it can be rebuild from pieces. A good civilian cab, dash, and doors is included with this sale to help with that reconstruction. The floors of both cabs are remarkably solid. There is some rust in the doors that is repairable. The frame still sits on its original Dana axles, which specification sheets identify with 4.89 gears and Power Lock differentials front and rear. The engine, transmission, and transfer case is gone. The military dog house is still there. It is missing the cover for the battery box and air cleaner, which originally set inside the cab. It has the original military grill guard and bumpers with air-lift loops. It is missing all of the military blackout lights.”

    Seriously cool, but one would have to be certifiably insane to undertake a straight restoration of this very rare FC with unique parts that are missing. There’s some hope that someone could restore it using standard FC parts. But, unless one has a serious desire for 4 doors, the cost to restore this might buy you two rather nice FC’s already completed.

    Interesting possibilitys with this project. I get what CraigInPa is saying but these have a lot of cool factor. I wouldn’t try for 100% likely impossible anyway.
