UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.

The engine is frozen.

“This 1963 FC 170 has been owned by my uncle for the past 25 years or so. It was originally purchased in a farm in upstate NY and towed home to NJ. The engine and transmission were rebuilt. It has the Hurricane inline 6 engine. It currently has a 12 volt alternator and all related components were switched to the 12v versions. In the mid 90s, the entire frame was swapped out for a rust free unit. I believe the axles were also rebuilt at some point (I think the ratios are 4.11) with the 3 spd trans. The stake bed was also replaced. Recently, the truck has sat for a while which unfortunately caused all of the brakes to seize up. These were also completely replaced last year, including the booster. Unfortunately, during this time, the engine has froze and we have been unable to get it moving again. The overall condition of the truck is pretty decent, except for the cab. It has rust in all the usual places with several floor board holes. The door hinges are shot on the one side and the other is on the way out (be careful opening them!). I think the only piece of glass that is good is the rear window. The truck has a functioning plow setup and it was used for many years as a plow rig. I believe it is a PTO style pump that runs off of the flywheel, but I’m not positive. The jeep is currently located in Atlantic Highlands.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

I’m not sure this will be an ‘easy’ restoration, but this does appear solid.

“THIS IS AS RARE A FIND AS YOU CAN GET. WILLYS JEEP FORWARD CONTROLS PICKUPS WERE A PART OF AUTO HISTORY.  THEY MADE GREAT SNOW PLOWING MACHINES AND WOULD GO ANYWHERE YOU WANTED TO GO WITH THE FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. A LADY FARMER USED IT TO GET AROUND HER FARM IN HILLY AREA OF WISCONSIN AND ONLY QUIT DRIVING WHEN THE BRAKES QUIT WORKING. ENGINE RUNS GREAT AND IT ALL WORKS.  THE BODY IS NOT ALL RUSTED OUT, YOU CAN SEE ONE CUT IN THE LEFT REAR FENDER WHERE SOME RUST MADE IT WEAK.  OTHER THAN THAT IT HAS SOME LIGHT SURFACE RUST BUT OVERALL IT WILL BE AN EASY RESTORATION PROJECT FOR SOME LUCKYU WINNER.  OR JUST USE AS IS. THE PHOTO’S SHOW THE DOOR TOPPS ARE OFF BECAUSE I AM GETTING NEW GLASS MADE FOR IT.  ALSO WE HAVE LOTS OF SNOW SO TAKING PHOTO’S IS HARD RIGHT NOW.”

UPDATE:  This sold quickly! Was listed at $1500 (and accidentally listed as a FC-175 by yours truly)

(12/17/2010) This looks restorable.

“Clear title,orginal first six month run production very rare. Everything there, total restoration needed!”

UPDATE:  Was priced at $2500.  **SOLD**

It’s a little rough, but not too bad.

This has the dump bed.  It runs.  It might be a good price.

“1958 jeep fc-150 4×4. this is an cool truck, very rare, and in good driving condition, not many made like this, its a ‘forward control” flat nose jeep truck on a cj-5 frame all factory, I drive this truck often, it has the original 4 cylinder, three speed, drive train, factory wheels, i’ve updated some of the items in the truck such as: radiator, hoses, lights, tires, shocks, shackles, gas tank, sending unit, fuel pump, water pump, tune up, rebuilt carb, etc., like i said I drive it regularly, I’ve driven as far as 50 miles from home with it, it only goes 45 mile per hour so its not the best travilin truck, but it will climb anything. it does have some rust in the body, defantly reparable, the frame is straight and repainted, I don’t really want to sell but I could use the money. I have a clean tennessee title in hand. thanks for looking.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250.

This doesn’t run at this time.

“1957 FC 170 (FORWARD CONTROL) 8,000 lbs. on the tag. Overall truck is in good condition for its age and the way the FC’s rust out. Has some small holes in floor by your feet and some small rot in cab corners. Has the hurricane straight 6 in it with the high low box. The engine ran about 5 years ago but was parked due to faulty brakes. The engine now spins over freely but has no spark, looks like a points, condensor, rotor, cap, and wires are needed to hear her run again. The steel stake bed is fully functional dumping box with its own PTO lever and pump and resovoir. This is the first year of hte FC and the only produced them for 6 years. I have many pics and can send them if you would like.”

This is a rough FC.

“Early year FC 150 1957-58. All running gear is present. The original F134 4 cylinder is rebuilt but not installed. It has a reground crank and a standard bore. $800”

Here’s an East Coast FC.

“1961 Willys FC 150 stakebody truck with 4 cyl. F head engine, 3 spd. trans., and 6 lug (disc brake front) rears. I don’t know the make of the rears or the ratio, but they are way higher than 538s. The engine is completely stock original and starts and runs good. No smoke. Needs the valves adjusted. The truck is driveable around the yard, but needs a master cylinder and brake hoses if you keep these rears. Lights, horn, and wipers work.  I think I have stock rears if you want to restore. The cab is good condition for coming from Penna. Dash uncut and complete, drivers floor has had some repair, passenger floor needs repair, engine cover good. No rust around rain gutter, front corners some dents, rear corners need repair, but not that bad. Doors straight, but rust at bottoms. Winshield good, small wiper blade scratch in upper left corner. Back glass, vent glass good, plexaglass in both doors. Bed complete and straight, but rust in stake pockets. Stakes all there, one slightly bent, one rusted at bottom. Wood under bed is all there in good shape, gas tank is good, and rear weight is still there. I bought this rare little truck to restore because I thought it would be a reasonably easy one to complete, plus it was un-cut and all there. I have another FC ahead of this one to restore,have recently bought a MCI motorhome conversion, and a diesel Scout, so i’m letting this project go. Call 302-381-0959 with any questions, and I will do my best to answer them.”

It’s not perfect, but the price sure is good.
