1959_fc170_wyUPDATE:  Still Available.  More pics at the link below.

(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. MATTER OF A FACT IT HAS ONE WHEEL OR MORE IN THE JUNK YARD.  I FIGURED BEFORE I TURN IT OVER FOR SCRAP I WOULD GIVE ANYONE WHO MIGHT USE IT FOR A FEW PARTS A CHANCE.  ALL THE RUNNING GEAR IS STILL WITH IT.

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.

1960 FC-150 Wilder Vt eBay

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

UPDATE:  This is back on eBay

(03/16/2010) Here’s a nice looking build with an engine and tranny update.  It still needs some interior work.

“Rare find, 1959 Jeep FC-150.  This is a stock appearing FC-150 that has the following modifications/improvements:
1. Chassis has been sandblasted and painted with POR15.

2. First engine was the wimpy 4 cylinder and I then changed it to a V6 Dauntless from a 1967 Jeepster after resealing and rebuilding all rotating components. Engine is fitted with headers and dual exhaust.

3. Transmission was changed from the 3 speed to a Turbo 400 automatic.  There is no evidence inside the cab that it is an automatic.  The shifter is the original and the pedals are all the same.  The Brake and the Clutch pedal have been joined.

4.  There is a new wiring harness and new instruments installed in crinkle finish dash.  The interior is without headliner cardboard and doors do not have cardboard panels installed.

5.  New windshield and rear glass, one door has new glass.

6.  All NEW springs, not rebuilt. New Shocks, new Brakes.  Front axle has disc brakes.

7.  Body has NEW cab corners, NEW floors.  The cab was plastic bead paint removed and spray weld to treat any traces of rust.  There are no bondo patches anywhere.

No stories, I have had it long enough and I dislike interior work so I never finished the interior.  It is quite powerful and runs like a bear.  I have never had it off road in 10 years.  My Son needs a car and my wife insists on airbags.  I have over $15k in this at this point but it is time for it to go. There is no title as Vermont does not title vehicles over 15 years old.  Sold on a bill of sale.”

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

“This “Go-anywhere,” “Tough-job traction” truck is on the market here for the first time in over 20 years.  Originally purchased from a glass co. in OHIO by the current owner.   He has done a complete frame off restoration as you can plainly see in the photos. Introduced in 1957 the Jeep Willys FC-170 was wider and carried a heavier load than the FC-150.  It has a Kaiser 6-226 motor inline 6 that is good on gas.  You won’t get stuck with high/low option 4WD and LT235/85R16 tires.

The bed is made of appatong wood said to be 5 times harder than oak for those heavy loads.  The truck has a 7,000 lb. GVW, a 103″ wheelbase with a 108″ bed.  The Cab-over design is very unique. There were approximately 2,000 FC-170’s built in ’61.  You will be guaranteed to be the hit of the car shows…”

UPDATE:  **SOLD**

(06/05/2009) “My Father is ready to sell his Eastern Washington 1959 FC-170 Jeep located in Chelan, WA. Introduced in 1957, FC-170 models had a 103 inches (2,616 mm) wheelbase with a 108 in (2,743.2 mm) bed. This model is significant as it was the first time the length of the payload box – 9 feet (2.7 m) with the tailgate up – exceeded the wheelbase of a truck. This was achieved by the forward cabin layout.  The Jeep starts right up and is ready for you to take it home!”
