1959 FC-170 Columbia, MO **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**

“I bought this truck because of the rare 4-speed T98 transmission, and intended to use it as parts for my M677 Crew Cab (listed separately).  I decided to go ahead and list this FC170 separately, but I would also work with anyone interested in both trucks.

This truck starts and runs great.  The brakes are currently down from sitting.  I bought it a year ago.  The preivous owner told me he drove it regularly over the last15 yeas around his farm in Arkansas.

The four speed transmission and shifting mechanis is complete, as is the Ramsey PTO-driven winch.  The seats have been recovered with gray vinyl.  There is some rust in the forward floors and around the inside of the windshield header.  It looks like rust from mouse nests on the interior side.  The exterior does not show rust through. It has relatively new Delta Super Deep Lug tires, size 7.50 x 16. I don’t have a title for this Jeep.  The previous owner was supposed to mail it to me.  I’ve heard from him since then, saying he would send it once the DMV processed some paper work, but it has not yet arrived in my mailbox.”

UPDATE:  Steve reports that this sold for $5600 with only two bids.

Jean-Sebastien spotted this unusual find.

“This is a Jeep FC 170 four wheel drive flat bed truck that has been made into a fire engine. This vehicle was originally used by the US forest service around Yosemite and later sold to a church camp just outside of the park. The vehicle was garaged and used by the church camp for insurance purposes. The vehicle is in extreemly good original condition. All equipment is stock except the windshield wiper motor which was changed to an electric model instead of the vacuum type. The vehcile runs strong and starts up promptly everytime. It has the 6 cylinder motor with a 3 speed manual transmission. Warren “free wheeling” hub caps to secure four wheel drive. The interior is in very good condition, as you can see by the pictures. The odometer shows 30,000 miles, but the speedometer cable broke so I can’t say what the actual mileage is. I would say not more than about 50,000 original miles. The fire apparatus has a 250 gallon tank with a 5 hp gas motor that both starts manually or with an electric push button starter. Pump works great and all seals seam to not leak. Vehicle comes with 200 feet of fire hose ( cotton single jacket), 150 of 1 1/2 and 50 ft of 1 inch. Two variable plastic nozzles with 1 1/2 fittings. There are two yellow helmets and a first aid kit. All gauges work (except the speedometer) and two new gauges were added for oil preasure and temperature. Body shows some signs on repair around the passenger door handle, but otherwise the vehicle is in good overall condition for the body. Vehicle runs fine and all mechanical parts work good. Brakes are in good condition as are tires, clutch and transmission. There is no slippage when shifting. This is a fairly rare vehicle and would be well suited for a ranch (for insurance purposes) or another church. Please e-mail any questions.”

(01/03/2009) While there’s some surface rust, it doesn’t appear to me that there is much rust around the doors.  The fact that it starts and runs is worth something!

Green Bay & Western’s hi-rail FC-170s

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

An article in the Green Bay Press-Gazette on November 18, 1962, warned readers not to be surprised if they were flagged down at a Green Bay & Western (GBW) railroad crossing by a jeep.  The article goes on to describe that GBW bought 2 1962 FCs for use on their railroad, some of the Jeep’s features, and how they would be used.  The history of these FCs (shown below) and the GBW in general can be found at the Green Bay & Western Lines website.

One image below appears to be a rough scan showing the two FC-170s at the time of purchase. I’ve added a link to the 2nd photo which shows the FC awaiting restoration as of 2005 (a note under the image asked that it not be reproduced without permission).

“THIS IS A VERY OLD AND ROUGH WILLYS FC-150 JEEP.  IT IS NOT ROAD WORTHY, AND MOST LIKELY NEVER WILL AGAIN.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.

(03/08/2010) Based on the pics, this looks in pretty good condition for a East Coast FC-150.

“1957 Jeep Willys FC150 , CAB FOWARD narrow track , 134 Hurricane ?, 3 speed, Dana 18 transfer case, wooden flatbed. Bought last fall with the hope of frame off restore but no time and other project is neglected. Earlier restoration. That work is starting to bubble. Prior owner was a Jeep collector / enthusiast that rebuilt entire vehicle and worked it building a home in NH, motor and tranny also. Motor Runs great, drove good. Brakes need to be gone over (sticking). I drove it last fall around the block a few times. You could spend a few hours sorting out the brakes and be on the road the same day. Easy project, comes with abunch of extra parts that I have gathered but will pass along with the truck: Extra / Spare T-90 side shift tran, Dana 18, narrow track radiator (very rare), Replacement steel lower Cab corners and steel wheel well shapes, valance panel, extra dog house and more. Saturn Overdrive available but not included. It most urgently needs brake service / cleaning, driver floor patch (small flat), and door weather striping. To be really nice it will need some body work and paint. Wheels and tires in pic are not included as I want them for my other project. $1800”

The bidding is over on this FC.  It sold for $1525, which looks like it might be a pretty good price.

“We are selling a 1960 Willys Jeep truck 4 wheel drive. It was purchased by my father in Aug. 1984. My father and mother both drove it. It has been sitting here on the farm for sometime. My father passed away and we are cleaning up some of the things on the farm. We have tried to show the condition of the body in our pictures. We hooked jumper cables to it and the motor did turn over.  It ran when it was parked. We do not know a lot about it other than what we can get off the stickers and tags on the vehicle. We are selling it as is.  NO warrenty. We aired the tires and they seem to be holding. It has a spare tire with it. How good it is we’re not sure. It looks pretty good. It has a Hurricane – 4 engine. Valve clearance-cold, intake .018, Exhaust .o1o, firing order 1-3-4-2, milage reads 52,184.16. It uses regular gasoline. It is Forward FC150 control Jeep Four Wheel Drive. AS far as we know it is the original motor and all else is original. It is a stick shift. Weight limit is 5,000#. The inside is with out the headliner. The door panels are there but in bad shape. The windows are all in but some are broken and will need to be replaced.I have tried to describe this auto the best I can. If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me.

1960 FC-150 Concord, Ca **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: Was $990. **SOLD**

(02/20/2010) Here’s an FC Project. Check out the list of recent work done on the craigslist ad.  Lots of good pics at the link below.

“I bought this FC 150 last year with the best intention of restoring it. It reminded me of my old 404 Mercedes Unimog. I still really like it, but I don’t have enough time to restore it. I also own a 1974 Jeep J-4800 gladiator pickup and I can’t justify owning two pickups. The cab lower parts and pickup bed floor has rust and needs body work. It does run and drive fine though. The transfer case and transmission works well in all ranges. It has Warn locking front hubs which I just cleaned and greased. I removed the fuel tank, flushed and treated the interior with a rust converter. Registration is current and the CA title is clear in my name. No DMV hassles and is smog exempt…. Problems include the rust I mentioned above, a broken speedo, cracks in the door window glass. Windshield is not cracked however. Engine kind of sounds like a diesel, but has good oil pressure. I have never owned a 4 cyl jeep before so it could be normal. Exhaust needs replacing. Fuel pump was replaced with a solid state electric one by the previous owner. It works fine. The mechanical fuel pump is still in place, but I never tested to see if it works. Tires are old and should be replaced. The seats are probably not original because they don’t fit right.
