“Selling a late 50’s Jeep forward control 150 For parts. Frame is solid, engine is there and was told it runs or ran when I got it. I strictly bought it for parts. Clearing house lot of good parts left. Asking $400. I can help with loading it on your trailer. I am also selling 2 Willys CJ 3B’s, for parts and restoration”
It’s a project.
“Jeep FC170 pickup truck. This is a project truck. Very good body for its age. Also being sold is a 1959 chases with rebuilt engine. I purchased these two units with the intention of restoring, but have not had the time or money. I also have some rough sheet metal that goes with the lot. The rebuilt engine has not been started and I did not perform the rebuild. The original truck does not run and there is no title.”
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
Needs work.
“I bought this last spring from the estate of a guy that owned a trucking company here. He had this at his ranch for years and just used it for fencing in the rough country and in the summer had a fire fighting outfit that he slid in the box. I doubt that it was off his place more than a dozen times in all the years he owned it. He died and I bought this and a Willys pickup, a 58, that I also have for sale.
The son told me they hadn’t started this since Don died and maybe a couple years before that as he was sick for quite awhile. But the tires were up, it had a 5 year old battery in it and cranked right over once we replaced the battery and got some gas to the carb. The engine runs great, smooth and quiet, oil pressure is good. Radiator had antifreeze, etc. The only real problems were that the carb leaked gas pretty bad and the choke cable was sticky. I got a kit to rebuild the carb and will do that before this leaves or include the kit, what ever you want. It has NO brakes. Haven’t fooled with them. I’ve just been driving it around the ranch, don’t need brakes.
The is probably as close to an original, rust free 1960 FC as you are ever going to find. The cab corners are good, the floors are good — some surface rust but not much else – the box is solid, the rear bumper is solid and protected the fenders, etc. Tires are pretty nasty, you’ll need new ones. It has a couple extra wheels with it.
Its going to need some work, it has a couple dents here and there including the driver’s door one they all have and fair smack on the side of the cab roof. Not hard to fix but it is there.
AS near as I can tell it is almost totally original, they added an alternator and cut the engine hump a little to make clearance, the floor mats are worn out and there is a rip in one seat. The windshield is good, which doesn’t mean it’s perfect. Drivers side window is plexiglas or something. Not glass.
Take a look at the photos and see what you think. Jump in and bid or hit the buy it now. Shipping out of Montana is not all that expensive to most places, you can probably ship this anywhere in the US for under $1000. Or hook up your trailer and come get it. I will never have time to do anything with it, I have half a dozen Willys pickups and Jeeps and need to thin the herd. Doing up a CJ2A with my 15 year old in her school colors, that’s taking about all the time I have for old Jeeps.
I have a clear current Montana title in my name along with a set of Montana personalized plates that say 60FC170. I got those when I thought I was going to get it running and driving this summer.
Some of these photos were taken the day I got it, I’ve cleaned it up some since then. If you want more photos you can email me and I’ll try to get them to you.”
It doesn’t run.

“For sale is a very dry Colorado FC-150. Been in storage for over 15 years.
Thorough and honest photo link here: http://s818.photobucket.com/user/estrucko/media/1957%20FC-150/P1120299_zps8nc95ced.jpg.html
The FC-150 was produced between 1957 and 1961. This one is a “Narrow-track” referring to the wheels being inset on the chassis and it has the shorter 81 inch wheelbase vs. the longer on of the FC-170. Basically it’s a Jeep/Willys CJ-5 chassis with a Forward Cab and pickup truck body attached. These trucks were industrial workhorses in their day, now sought after by collectors.
This has the original F-134 Hurricane 4 cylinder that came with all FC-150’s. Everything is there and complete. The 4wd system has high and low range 4wd and a 3 speed trans.

“There is 3 fc’s. Therd is two 1957 150 and a 60s 170. The 170 did run and I will attempt to get it running again. The 150s are not running. There is a new engine for one of them. There is two parts engines that can be rebuilt. There is way too many spare parts that go with these to list on here. A guy could easily fill the back of a pick up with just spare parts. One cab has been sandblasted and the corners have been replaced. It still needs some body work before paint. The only thing I can think that I dont have is the seat frames. They didnt come with any and I have not found any. Any questions or if you want more pics please call or text. Hopefully these will go to someone that will get them back on the road because these are a neat part of history. I might be willing to haul all or part depending on how far.”

Greg’s great looking truck.
“As some of you may know, I’ve had the FC bug for some time thanks to my buddy Jason turning me on to them. Over the last few years I’ve gathered what I consider a pretty sweet little collection but now it’s time to trim the herd. I don’t have enough room to store them properly so it’s time for someone else to enjoy! The first one going up is prolly the least “FC” of em all but definitely super cool and definitely the fastest. The only part FC I could find is the cab with the rest including the frame custom made. It sports a strong 351 Cleveland backed by an automatic. Trans cooler, Mickey Thompson’s, air shocks in front with onboard air compressor, custom fuel cell, sun roof. power windows. It does have a couple areas that could use attention at some point. The paint could use some freshening up and I have attached pics of a couple of the scratches/cracks. Also the power windows are not working properly.
If you have any specific questions or want pics of other areas not shown please ask and I’ll try to respond quickly.”
Robin picked up this FC Weasel recently (thanks to Marty who spotted it on Facebook).
He wrote, After I got this think home two things came to mind. First-What The Heck!!!!! I have no clue about track vehicles. Second (after some research) the build is backwards. The engine should be in front, not in the rear. A really ingenious build actually.
Robin also noted that the floor is made of street signs. Follow this Flickr link for more photos: https://www.flickr.com/photos/alturusphoto/sets/72157656366380805

MIDWEST FC UPDATE:
Roger shared some more photos from last weeks Midwest FC event. Roger tells me he was able to sell four of the six windshields he had available. He also wanted to thank everyone that came and contributed by coming…especially those who came a long distance. There were FC’ers from Florida, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Maryland, Tennessee, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. Roger also awarded Wayne and Sally Trent the furthest-traveler award … all the way from Hudson, Florida to the Southwest Ohio FC Gathering July 26-28. His haul rig was a ’53 Ford Cab with a Freightliner front axle and Cummins engine. His trailer carried a pop-up camper and the FC 170 Wrecker. Here are some photos of it:
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** It was listed on eBay, but didn’t sell through eBay. May have sold locally.
Doesn’t run at the moment. Seller messed with the points. Has a unique interior.
“Greetings, you are bidding on my 1958 Willys Forward Control 170 pick up. First, I know very little about anything mechanical, I bought this jeep out of a jeep collection in Houston, Texas. I have owned it for approx. one year. It has seen light work on my farm and was running fine until I decided to replace the points, distributor, spark plug wires, etc. It has not run since, my jeep friends seem to think the points are not set correctly. I don’t have the time to mess with it and more and it is taking up space in my barn. Tires are non-directional military and have good trend left gas gauge and heat gauge have never worked. Headlight, taillights and blinkers work, heater works.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Not sure if it runs.
“1957 FC150 this is a good platform for a restoration. It’s has the normal rust, flat bed, rear PTO. ”

-Linda & George “The Grill Master” McGuire

“Selling a 1959 Jeep FC170 4×4 cab over truck super rare! Jeep is in really good condition! New paint. New custom bed. New front bumper off a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. New wheels and tires. New brakes all the way around including master cylinder, wheel cylinders, pads, e-brake cable, rear brake lines. All new fluids. Engine is a Willys Super Hurricane 226 straight 6 flathead based off the Ford Flathead that runs great backed by a 3spd manual transmission. 4WD works great. 4.88 gears in rear Dana 50 and front Dana 44. The Jeep is slow but great for off road. Great driver right now, I drive it a few times every week. Needs a back window which is easy because its flat but have the window seal. Gets looks every time I drive it, everyone loves it. Looking to buy a house and selling this would make a good down payment or I would keep it. Jeep is almost all original except the bed and front bumper. Been trying to keep it as original as possible. Great for driving around town and showing off at car shows.”
