I thought this picture was pretty unusual. Surf over to the FC Connection website to learn more about the Rolligon, a vehicle based roughly on the FC-170.

Year? FC-170 Elliotsburg, Pa $3000
Here’s an FC-170 with what I assume is a custom bed, though the tilt part is probably original. Not a bad price if the rust situation isn’t too bad (can’t quite tell from the pics).
“I am unsure of the year exactly of the Jeep Willys. We think it is around the 60’s. The truck is an FC 170 3 spd transmission 6 cylinder Super hurricane. The motor has less than 5,000 miles and runs well. The truck has 105,600 original miles. It is four wheel drive, it has a PTO, hydraulic Winch, and a Dump bed. The truck runs good but has been off of the road for 5 years due to the owners death, and there for not inspected. If interested please contact me and I will get the best information I have for you. ”

1957 FC-150 Rossiter, PA eBay
The outside this Forward Control looks good to me. Certainly, it needs interior work though.

This is the second FC listed by this seller.
“Hard to find Willys Jeep FC 170. A 1957 the first year made. This was an old movie camera truck. The bed is missing. The cab is in real nice shape compared to most FC’s. Great cab corners and no rust around the windshield. The original 226 motor, trans and transfer case is there. There was a PTO that was removed so that’s why you see a hole in the back of the trans. All it needs is a plate made to cover the hole. The motor doesn’t run. Cracked windshield and door glass.”

A beautiful FC-150 sells for $38,000 at Russo-Steel
Yeah, you read that right. Craig from the FC-Connection site kindly dropped me a note saying that none other than Tim ‘the tool man’ Allen purchased this beautiful FC-150 for $38,000. It probably didn’t hurt that the FC was auctioned at the Russo-Steele Auction, the televised auction you might have seen on ESPN2 while flipping through cable channels.
Here’s some images from the FC-Connection site. And, a link to the Russo-Steel auction page for this FC-150.
1959 FC-150 & 1959 CJ-5 Phoenix, Az $1500 each
The CJ-5 comes with a warn overdrive, a ford-top loader, a ford 289, a full cage and a set of hurricane aluminum 10″ rims. $1500 isn’t a bad price for that combo + the rest of the parts.
The FC-150 looks pretty good as well for $1500, if it comes with some of the missing parts.
“One 1959 Willys CJ5 with Ford 289 and Ford top loader four speed, Warn overdrive, starts and runs good, original 5:38 gears and nine inch brakes, will include parts for changing to 11 inch brakes. $1500.00 cash O.B.O.

1957 FC-150 Sacramento, Ca $1000
The rust doesn’t look all that bad. This might be a decent price for it.

“1960 WILLY’S JEEP F150 FORWARD CONTROL 4WD. Perfect for restoration this jeep was in use until 1996. Odometer reads 24,766.

Here is a link to a 11 mg video of the Jeep in great running condition that you can download with my 12 year old son running it through our back field.”
Old FC 150? Portland, Or $2495
My guess is that this is a modified FC 150? No doubt it’s rare! Maybe It’s the perfect vehicle for that FC collector who has it all. It sounds as if it runs, but the owner doesn’t have a key?
“Unique vehicle. May be custom built. was told that the running gear was from a 1953 Willys. The seats are from a Volkswagen. The front windshield is movable. Has tow bar attached to the front. 6 volt battery system. Has a swivel arm on the back. 2 front seats. 4 wheel drive. Purchased it with my property and don’t know if it runs. Has never been registered. don’t have a key. The original owner was a hunter and did use this vehicle. Price $ 2495.00 or best offer.”
