UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

The camper isn’t original to the FC, but fits pretty well I think.

“This is a forward control FC-170 (1-ton) that has a camper built on the back.  It was converted to a camper sometime in the early seventies.  The interior of the camper has new paint, counters and cushions. It makes into two double beds and two single so it sleeps a total of six. Has original 1950s propane stove with an oven (there is a normal removable propane tank in an exterior compartment).  Gas and DC lights, ice box and sink.  The water tank has been removed but there is a place underneath to mount a tank.  The engine was changed at some point and replaced with a 302 Ford V-8.  The engine fires up and sounds good.  The truck drives fine but has been parked for quite some time.  I purchased from the person who had built the camper and had owned it for many years.  He had used it for camping with the family and hunting but not in recent years due to his age.  There is an overdrive unit that goes with the vehicle but needs to be repaired and was removed.  I was told by the previous owner that the windshield was recently replaced and it does appear to have been.  The tires are pretty old and hard.  There is also a set of black spoked 15″ rims are included. There is also a box of misc. gaskets and parts included.  The truck has quite a bit of power with the V-8 and would probably get up just about anywhere and has plenty of clearance.  There were not many of these trucks made and they have become very collectible.  As you can see from the photos the paint is faded but there does not appear to be any serious corrosion anywhere.”

Fire in the Hole! Tales from the FC Get Together

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

UPDATE:  Click here to read Steve’s Report on the whole weekend, including his personal adventures

I may not be the smartest cob in the corn patch, but one thing I do know, it shouldn’t require gloves to start a M-677 Forward Control Jeep.  But, I quickly learned that Steve’s FC isn’t your ordinary vehicle.  It really does require gloves, because it has a manual choke.  And by manual, I mean he uses his gloved hand.  Ordinarily, I like this bit of ingenuity, but after a couple rotations of the engine, fire exploded out the carb, making all four of us — me in the passenger seat, Steve in the driver’s seat, and Jeff and Mitch in the rear spots where there should have been a rear bench seat — nearly jump out of the vehicle.  Fortunately, Steve had everything under control.  I could tell this by the way he immediately pulled off the glove and beat out the fire with it.  No, this wasn’t a ride in an FC; it was a ride more akin to Mr. Toad’s Excellent Adventure.  🙂

It all started with Mitch stopping by the house this afternoon to join me on a drive in Biscuit to Tacoma to drop by the FC Get Together. I neglected to mention to Mitch that this was Biscuit’s first drive on an interstate. I figured it wasn’t that important.  Given the confidence he already felt in the jeep after it wouldn’t start right away (loose positive cable), I figured we’d test it on the interstate before I mentioned the ‘Hey, did you know this was the first time I’ve driven Biscuit on an Interstate?’ factoid.  Fortunately, Biscuit behaved well throughout the journey.

Upon arriving at the FC Event, Mitch and I were warmly greeted by Blaine, Steve, Dave and others.  Mitch already knew several people as he owns a couple FCs, more for property decorations than actual use I think as they remain future projects — a status held by many FCs it seems — but none-the-less beloved by him.  But, whom am I to talk, as I have plenty of future projects of my own ….

Not long after arriving, Blaine and I enjoyed some fun trading war stories from the relationship and dating fronts.  Between the two of us there were plenty of “what was I thinking” and “should it really be this hard”.  Once we finally dissected the female pysche and concluded we had no chance against such formidable opponents, he suggested I take a look at a flat fender model jeep he made in his early teens from cereal boxes.  It was pretty cool, so he has promised to send pics (don’t forget Blaine!).

Soon, everyone’s attention turned to the repair of a fuel line.  Most of us gathered around the FC-150 like a bunch of lookie-loos.  Some of us pressed against the front windows looking at Jeff install a fuel filter to provide cleaner fuel to the carb.  You’d think with our goofy smiles we were kids all lined up , leaning on a glass counter trying to decide on the flavor of ice cream we wanted; it was a pretty funny site, not lost on the folks behind us snapping pictures. Of course, I was at the glass too, staring inside the cab when the repair was declared successful.  Mission complete, now for the next challenge.

The next challenge didn’t take long and came in the form of Steve’s M-677 that sports a 289 Pontiac (?).  You’d think I could tell you what the engine was because, due to the lack of an engine cover, I was staring right down at it, with the fan blade just a little ways away from sending me to the hospital.  Fear not, for it was all part of the adventure I told myself.

As mentioned, there was fire, but Steve got that fixed and we were on our way.  It turns out that a V8 powers a M-677 really well. As Jeff and Mitch held on in the back, Steve showed us that the old truck still had life in it, accelerating pretty quickly despite a flat spot in the carb.  As Steve chauffered us, passersby were injuring their necks, craning them as they wondered what type of unearthly vehicle it was. As for the passengers, I don’t think any of us stopped laughing the entire time. For Mitch and I, it was only our second FC ride ever and, at least in my case, the best one!  So, many thanks to Steve for taking the time to give us a ride.

Shortly after the ride was over, Mitch and I headed back for Biscuit’s 2nd time on the Interstate.  We had fun and look forward to next  year’s get-to-gether. Apparently, it will need to be at a new location, so if anyone has any ideas for next year, please send them to me.

Oh yeah, the Get Together lasts through Sunday, so you still have time to check it out if you are in the Seattle area.

 

Below:  This was before we all lined up to ‘help’ fix the gas line problem.

 

And last, but not least, is Steve’s fire breathing M-677.  The ride was quite literally a blast!  Thanks  Steve.

1964 M-677 Knoxville, TN **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**

“This is an EXTREMELY RARE original Kaiser JEEP M-677 built for the Marine Corp and delivered in 1964. These are becoming harder and harder to find, especially in this good of shape. The CERLIST Diesel engine is locked up causing the vehicle to be in a non-running condition. I have been told that it could be taken apart and cleaned or replaced with a gas engine. It was running until a few years ago. This is a rare and really cool piece of U.S. Auto History. There are some rust issues and a few broken windows, but the vehicle is basically in tact and in good shape. There is a fold down wooden bench seating unit in bed and the aluminum cover is removable. These were used as transport vehicles and ambulances in the World War era. If restored, this would be an amazing 4×4 vehicle. I do not have the time or resources to do so, but there are a lot of collectors out there who would love to get a hold of this baby. Good luck, if you know what this is, it’s pretty impressive!”

1958 FC-150 Fay, Tn $2500

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

UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500

(03/27/2011) This looks to be a good price.

“1958 Jeep FC-150

4×4 works good
original hurricane 4 cyl. runs good
original 3 speed transmission shifts good

took body off frame and sanded and painted frame in 05 when I got the truck
put new hoses and belts, radiator, fuel pump, water pump, wires, plugs, shocks, brakes
good set of tires all around

drove this truck every summer since 05, last driven in oct 10, haven’t got it out this year yet,
needs new battery, put new in in 05 but now it’s dead but can be jump off to drive,
it has the original 6 volt system

this truck was made from the factory on a cj3 frame and running gear, so even though it
is a rare truck, parts for the drive train are very easily found.

the body on this truck is pretty good shape for its year, it looks like it was repainted years ago,
rust is at a minimum for these trucks, both floor boards and rear cab corners are the worst part

this truck is as close to original as they come, i’ve driven it all over the place on road on trails
i took it to a car show 30 miles away, which took a while considering it has a top speed of 50 mph down hill
i love this truck but have to many toys and no room.

I prefer cash but will consider partial trades or trades for samurai tin top, jeep cj or wrangler with hard top 4×4 only”
