(12/13/2013) It might be worth a look.

“Here I have an extremely rare 1957 willys Jeep Forward Control FC-150 pickup for sale. It has an excellent running Hurricane F-134 inline 4 cyl engine that doesn’t smoke and always starts right up. It has a three speed T-90 transmission that shifts greats and holds gear and a Spicer 18 transfercase that also shifts great. The front and rear glass is perfect but the flat glass on the doors could use some help, upholstery is good. All the turn signals, headlamps, hi/low beams, heater and electronic functions work. It is in pretty good shape, drives and stops nicely but it could use some more TLC and attention. I want to continue the restoration but I have too many vehicles and just don’t have the time for it. I recently replaced the battery, starter, all old hoses, stainless steel brakelines and rewired the entire engine bay with correct automotive wire, automotive heat shrink connectors, chafing protection and gaffer tape. It needs new gears in the front axle for 4×4, a speedometer cable and some bodywork but it drives fine as is. 100% clean and clear Arizona title.

Email only, I can take 4,300 cash or trade for a cleanish “daily driver” JEEP Gladiator Pickup J series truck 1962-1970 with the early style “rhino” grille and a manual transmission. No other trades will be considered.”

“I’m selling a very rare 1958 Jeep FC-170! You might only ever see one or two of these in your life. They’re super cool and great fun to drive. I’ve listed this before but the motor was misfiring, turns out it needed a rebuilt carb. I spent $1000 making it a daily driver and now it’s as reliable as any other (1958) truck =)
Runs like a champ, I’m driving it everyday while the weather is nice.
Anyway, shoot me an email with a picture of ANYTHING you have to trade. This Jeep is literally the 15 or 16th secondary ride I’ve owned so I’m interested in anything with a motor and at least 2 wheels.
I love old trucks, and Volkswagens. VW Bus preferred.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $4500.

This appears to have potential.

“1959 Jeep FC 150 4×4
***IOWA LIFE VEHICLE – not going to be a rust free southern state vehicle
*** Project Vehicle
Hurricane F4-134 Engine – 3 Speed Transmission – 4×4 works great.

12V Generator – Headlights, taillights, turns, breaks, blower for heater, and wipers, and gauges all worked well. Ignition switch went out and it controls most of these so I disconnected them and clipped some of the wiring and did not re connect. My plan was to rewire the entire unit with new wires and I never got around to it. All the wires are hanging and could be hooked back up.

Runs and drives great. Have been driving it around town – starts up perfect every time and runs strong.

Unit does have some body and cosmetic work the COULD be done, if you chose. From looking at the pictures you can see most of the bad spots. All 4 corners have some issues – need work. I stuck a magnet to them and beat around on them – magnet stuck well some bondo in them. Floors are ate up pretty good and have temporary replacement steel over them.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was priced at $3950.

(10/18/2011) Not flashy, but looks nice enough.

“1958 FC 150 jeep for sale. was completely restored and has about 2500 miles on it since then. call for details”

UPDATE: Was listed at $6200.

It looks like this has a tilt bed.

“Rare1960 Jeep Willys forward cab- long bed with winch on front bumper.

UPDATE: Was priced at $13,500. **SOLD**

(09/05/2013) This looks good.

“Factory “fresh air” heater unit.

Has thirty different grease fittings on the chassis.

Spare tire mounted on the right side of the bed is the original wheel design as the existing wheels are on the truck are late model aftermarket wheels. The spare tire is the original size tire used on the vehicle (7.00 x 16″). Four original stock factory wheels are also included in the purchase.

Brand new brake shoes, brake cylinders, brake springs and freshly ground brake drums. New emergency brake cables. New master brake cylinder. All new metal brake lines.

Gas tank was recently refurbished and resealed. Freshly rebuilt carb and fuel pump.

New radiator hoses and heater hoses. New points, condenser, plug wires, spark plugs.

All fluids (engine oil, oil filter, engine coolant, front and rear differentials, transfer case, transmission, oil bath air cleaner) recently changed.

Truck appears to have been in California all of its life as the title indicates that it was first registered in California. The body and truck bed are very solid though I noticed that the lower front and rear corners of the cab appear to have some surface rust or bubbles and the interior windshield frame has some rust where I think water or moisture may have gotten in around the windshield frame at some point in the vehicles life. The frame and under carriage as well as the fender well areas appear to be rust free as it appears that the truck was rust proofed or undercoated many years ago.

The truck was painted sometime ago as I can see indications of “Bell System Green” color under some spots.”

The body appears to have a little damage on the front driver’s corner, but otherwise looks solid.

“Up for sale is this rare Jeep FC-150 truck. This vehicle I extremely rare, and a great project for anyone with creativity, and time. The amount of things that can be done to a unique car like this, are infinite. I no longer have the time to invest in this truck however. The Engine still runs strong, and the transmission, and 4×4 work surprisingly well. I registered the car last year and then non oped it when I realized I was not going to move it anytime soon, so you do not need to worry about ridiculous backed up fees. The car does need work as it is a project, but it is definitely a good start. There is significant rust, but it is a 65 year old car so that is expected. What needs attention at the moment to get it running appropriately are the brakes and a battery, but other than that there is nothing necessary to make it a movable car. Like stated the 4×4 works well also. The lights work fine as well. I will include original seats that I bought separately.”

All new correct tires, rims, brakes, exhaust, transmission, transfer case etc. Drive anywhere. Very reliable. we have temporary plates available so you can drive it home.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

The inside of this looks very nice. I think the outside might look better than the pics show.

“1957 Jeep FC150

It runs and drives well and looks good.
Everything has been gone over and renewed as needed.
Engine fully rebuilt by a professional classic engine builder.
No rust problems on body as car came from the dry west.
Was painted 4 years ago to a standard Jeep red color and trim.
