“Sweet 1961 Willys FC 150. This pickup was restored several years ago and is still in really good shape. It has the 4 cylinder motor and is four wheel drive. The engine and drive line work great. Pretty reliable old truck, and also very rare. You just don’t see these forward control pickups in as rust free condition as this one is. As you can see from the pictures, the undercarriage is in great shape and the body is quite nice with very few blemishes and scratches. Glass is in good shape. Interior is very clean and nice, with recovered seats and a new headliner. The only glitch is that the seal in the transfer case has a slow leak. It’s nothing terribly serious, but it will leave an oil spot on the floor over time. This, of course, is not unusual in these older Jeeps. The truck is located in Denver, CO near I-70.”

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $5300

THE INTERIOR IS REALLY NICE AND SO IS THE BED. IT STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL WEIGHT ON THE FRAME. THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE IS COMPLETE AND WORKING. IT RUNS AND DRIVES BUT NEEDS A TUNE UP. I HAVE ORDERED THE PARTS AND SHOULD HAVE THEM, BEFORE THE END OF THIS AUCTION. I WILL ADD SOME MORE PICTURES IN A DAY OR TWO. PLEASE DON’T ASK ABOUT THE RESERVE, IT’S LOW.

Bucket seats and original carpet. needs to be re-upholstered. Cab has small rust spots on rain gutter and windshields but no sign of rusted thru. A magnet did not reveal any bondo patches in body.

A Ramsey 10,000 lb PTO winch is mounted on the front with tow bar.

Tires hold air but are 20 years old. Paint is 20 years old but buffs up good except on rust spots. An installation of an after market over drive will allow legal highway speeds.”

“This is a rare cab-over style Forward Control Jeep with a 2.3 liter F-head 4-cylinder engine, 3-speed T-90 manual transmission, and two-speed T-18 transfer case. I have a clear Texas title in my name. These unusual trucks draw a lot of attention.

The engine and transfer case have seen no use since being rebuilt and they are out of the vehicle, along with the gearbox. Radiator is rebuilt. This truck was sold new in the Phoenix, AZ area and remained there with the original owner’s family until I brought it to central Texas about five years ago, so body corrosion is minimal. Brakes are rebuilt with no miles on them. All window glass is good. Comes with new hoses, wiring harness, clutch, pressure plate, brakes, a spare set of doors, rear window glass, bare cylinder head, spare disassembled 3-speed gear box, vacuum brake servo, plus various extra pieces of trim, and small mechanical items….”

Engine is out.  There is a minor title issue.

“Up for sale is a 1960 Forward Control FC-150 truck. This is an amazing original condition truck that has been kept under cover for the last 10-12 years I’ve owned this truck. This truck has the original two-toned paint still on it! There is NO rust in the usual places for these trucks. No cancer (rust through) that I can see, just minor surface rust. This is the first year of the wider axels for better stability. I was converting this truck to a Buick V6. I have most the parts, including the engine, bellhousing, flywheel, clutch & exhaust. The engine is currently NOT installed in the truck. Installed in the truck is the original transmission, with WARN OVERDRIVE. It is a 4×4. The drivelines are installed as well. It does have the engine cover that goes inside the cab! Back fenders are slightly modified, but could be returend to original shape. Modified to fit a 5 gallon gas can on either side. This was a good idea as it adds weight over the rear axels. Breaks do no work in the thuck however, the emergency break does. Front windshild is in good shape, which is the important one! Back & side windows need glass replaced. The side windows do roll up & down. Tires hold air but are old. I have the title to this truck. However, the husband signed over and the wife did not as she had passed away. Oregon DMV said that to correct this You need to get a death certificate which can be obtained from the state or county. OR if you turn in the title to DMV and it shows the person as deceased, there is no issue.

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $9950

This looks good.  It looks restored as a M676, though it probably really is a FC-170.

“1962 Willys FC 170 Jeep older restoration, 226 superhuricane 6 cyl. new master cal, 5 new NDT military tires, NY licensed and inspected”

UPDATE:  Still Available

(04/21/2012) Looks pretty solid.

“I am selling my 1959 Jeep FC 150. Rust free survivor. No cancer, just surface. Original paint. Originally from a ranch in dry Idaho climate. Mechanically fantastic. Recent engine rebuild by highly reputable Jeep mechanic. New clutch. New brakes. New shocks. Stainless steel gas tank. New tires. Plus other little detailed fixes. I am ashamed how much I have in this pet project. I have receipts for all the work done. Some new glass replaced. I have a rare replacement windshield to go with it. It is truly an original. I get the thumbs up whenever I am on the road with it.”
