1960 FC-170 Bend, OR **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: FC150-FC170-M677, Unusual This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

 A very unique Willys Jeep FC-170.

Bought new in Oregon by a rancher – story told he bought it new and then had the engine swapped out to a Hercules 6 cylinder because it had many more H.P.  Then he had a professional welder fabricator build a hauling container on the back for hauling two horses, two cows, or maybe just one Rhino.

It has not been running for about 9 years. It has been kept in a heated storage unit for last 7 years. One cab corner needs to be replaced but they do make reproduction replacements. Right side glass needs to be replaced also.

There is a Winch under the truck and rollers under each bumper so you can winch from the front or the rear. There are doors on both sides of the hauling box for putting hay in there for the animals.  It has a snorkel air cleaner, snorkel oil breather, and a snorkel gas fill. The welds are very high quality – you can’t even see any grinding marks.This truck can cross rivers!

The tailgate is operated through a pulley system with a really cool antique crank. And it really works. Check out the pictures!   The seats were recovered early on, so the original upholstery is still on the seats.  I will add other oddities as I think of them.””

This looks more like a FC-170 to me.  I will be returning to Pasco tomorrow night.  I could look at this for someone if it lasts that long.

“This rare model Jeep pickup also has a utility box built for a welder and tanks. This great project ran when parked, but does need some work as shown by the reasonable price.”

1963 FC-170 DRW Arvada, Co **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: FC150-FC170-M677 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

“Well I’m sure no expert on old Jeeps, but a friend of mine gave me this FC-170. His dad is 80 years old, and has had it for many years. This is what I would call  “Barn Fresh.” It has been sitting in a barn for at least the last 5 years or so idle. He says it was running and driving  when it was last parked.
Here is what I know about it. It’s a 63′ or 64′, and it says Kaiser/jeep Corp on the I.D. plate. It is a factory flat-bed, 1 ton with dual rear wheels. This thing is rated to cary over 2 tons! It weighs 3,720 pounds empty, and has a G.V.W. of 8,000 lbs. Delivery date was Sept of 1963. It has a 6 cyl. flat head engine, and a manual transmission. The rear end is a Dana 70 and the front end is a Dana 30. This jeep has 5:37 gears I’ve been told. This Jeep could be used for parts, or better yet… be restored.

The engine turns free, and I’m sure someone more mechanical than myself, could have it up and running again in fairly short order. I do not have a title for it, and can only offer you a bill of sale. The previous owner has alzheimers (he can not locate the title). I do have  the shop manual for it.

It’s sure not perfect, but it’s not real rusty like some I’ve seen. (I would say its 99% rust-free). This jeep is over 48 years old and being sold as is. I would much rather you plan for the worst and hope for the best, than be disappointed in any way. My opening bid is 950.00 with no reserve. Now all that having been said….. I can’t imagine finding a better FC170 for the price…I only want the buyer to be happy with it…Thanks.”

1962 FC-150 Norfork, Ar eBay

• CATEGORIES: FC150-FC170-M677 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  Back on eBay

(10/14/2011) There’s some value here. The engine turns over, but doesn’t run at the moment.

“I’m helping a friend sell this vehicle and it’s located 20 miles from me.  I have known this man for 15 years, he’s retired in his 70s and honest.

Jeep FC was running fine when parked in 1990 and has not been started since.  Has 134 CI and 3-speed manual.  The engine does turn over freely.

Vehicle is located in Norfork, Arkansas, and has a clear title.

The odometer reads 45,260 miles.

I don’t believe there’s any bondo on the vehicle, but there is a large amount of rust, most of it surface with some pin holes.  Above the front windshield there is a line of rust with several large pin holes in it and the small areas where the driver’s and passenger’s feet rest have been replaced with flat metal.

Otherwise, the doors, rest of the cab, bed, etc. look to be in fair shape.  I think a lot of the metal on this vehicle could be saved.

About the glass:  The two vent windows, the two ¼ windows, and the back window look good.  But the front windshield and driver’s and passenger’s windows have cracks.

All of the weather-stripping and rubber seals are deteriorated.

This Jeep FC seems very complete, perhaps 100% (my opinion), this is a great advantage in a restoration, because you can see where everything goes and fits.

There is a factory-optional twin-jerry-can storage rack on the driver’s side for pair of fuel cans.

Also, the rear hitch on this FC is either a factory option or FC-specific aftermarket part.

There is also an extra heater box and dash that come with this vehicle for trading later on or whatever (see photos).

And of course the tool box and rack could easily be removed for a factory clean appearance.

Important Note: My friend has a second, older Jeep FC-150 for sale at this same time.  Please check in my “Seller’s Other Items.”

Thank you for looking and if you have any questions I will try to answer them or forward them to my friend.

I’m at the limit of pictures I can have in the ad now and I hope the ones I’ve taken give you a very-good idea of this vehicle’s condition; it’s all there, but needs a complete restoration.”

1956 FC-150 Norfork, Ar eBay

• CATEGORIES: FC150-FC170-M677 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  Back on eBay

(10/14/2011) There is some value in this and the FC below.

“I’m helping a friend sell this vehicle and it’s located 20 miles from me.  I have known this man for 15 years, he’s retired in his 70s and honest.

This vehicle does not have a title or VIN tag that I have seen.  Since it is a narrow stance built off the CJ-5, we assume it is a 1956 or 57, since the width increased in 1958.

Jeep FC was running fine when parked in 1994 and has not been started since.  Has 134 CI and 3-speed manual.

Vehicle is located in Norfork, Arkansas.

The odometer reads 28,594 miles.

I don’t believe there’s any bondo on the vehicle, but there is a large amount of rust, most of it surface with some pin holes.  The small areas where the driver’s and passenger’s feet rest have been replaced with flat metal.  And there is an appx. 8×10” hole in the floor right behind the driver’s seat down in that low valley behind the front tire.

Otherwise, the doors, rest of the cab, bed, etc. look to be in OK shape.  I think a lot of the metal on this vehicle could be saved.

About the glass:  The front windshield, big rear window, and the two ¼ windows look good.  The two vent windows and the driver’s and passenger’s side windows have cracks.

All of the weather-stripping and rubber seals are deteriorated.

Note: One of the badges on the passenger side reads “FC-170” but that was put on to cover a lost badge, this is not a 170 model.

This Jeep FC seems very complete, perhaps 90% (my opinion), this is a great advantage in a restoration, because you can see where everything goes and fits.

Additionally, there is a factory-optional glove box behind the driver’s seat—nice collectible touch.

And of course the tall wood rack could easily be removed for a factory clean appearance.

Important Note: My friend has a second, 1962 Jeep FC-150 for sale at this same time.  Please check in my “Seller’s Other Items.”

Thank you for looking and if you have any questions I will try to answer them or forward them to my friend.

(09/19/2011) The engine is apart and floor needs work.

“Very rare 1959 Jeep FC-170 pickup truck with 9 foot steel bed. Have looked all over the country in Craigslists and cannot find another.

Truck was disassembled and body work, sanding and primer done and reassembled. Contineltal L-226 engine disassembled for inspection. Probably needs bearings, rings, valves ground and reassembled (or else install engine of your choice).

It has HD 3-speed trannsmission, drive shafts, good radiator, good tires. Doors are good and straight – they
open and close easily, need new door seals (door to body). Both original bucket seats need recovered.

Truck is original – not lowered, raised or modified in any way.

The floor in bed needs replaced, or a piece of sheet metal or wood layed on top of existing floor. It apparently has set outside and the bed floor rusted. The floor support cross members are good and solid.”

What about the FC-160?

• CATEGORIES: FC150-FC170-M677, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I had to update this page because my links I had used no longer work.  Fortunately, I found an image of a FC-160 from India (at least the Flickr page claims it is a FC-160 — feel free to correct me on this).  This picture was taken in January of this year by Vaibhav Bhosale.

“In 1965 Mahindra & Mahindra of India began assembling the Jeep FC Forward Control. Mahindra introduced its versions to include the FC-160. The FC-160 (and later FJ-160) uses a frame which is 2.33 meters in length. The FC-150s frame was 2.05 meters while the FC-170 used a frame of 2.63 meters in length. Thus, the FC-160 was an intermediate truck, marketed to supplement the FC line and the final version was only manufactured by Mahindra & Mahindra.

The pick-up box was designed and manufactured by Mahindra and there were other bodies which were available. Additionally, the base FC-160 chassis was used in the manufacture of a mini-bus which uses the basic front face of the FC. Currently, Mahindra’s FJ-460 and FJ-470 van or mini-bus vehicles still retain the appearance of the original Forward Control. These vehicles can accomodate from 11 to 15 passengers plus the driver”

 

Caption from flickr: One of the three Jeep models built by Mahindra & Mahindra. This vehicle was used by my school to train the students on Automobile subject. We used to play hide n seek when it got abandoned.
