MIDWEST FC UPDATE:

Roger shared some more photos from last weeks Midwest FC event. Roger tells me he was able to sell four of the six windshields he had available. He also wanted to thank everyone that came and contributed by coming…especially those who came a long distance. There were FC’ers from Florida, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Maryland, Tennessee, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. Roger also awarded Wayne and Sally Trent the furthest-traveler award … all the way from Hudson, Florida to the Southwest Ohio FC Gathering July 26-28.  His haul rig was a ’53 Ford Cab with a Freightliner front axle and Cummins engine. His trailer carried a pop-up camper and the FC 170 Wrecker. Here are some photos of it:

1958 FC-170 Brenham, TX **Status Unknown**

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

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** It was listed on eBay, but didn’t sell through eBay. May have sold locally.

Doesn’t run at the moment. Seller messed with the points. Has a unique interior.

“Greetings, you are bidding on my 1958 Willys Forward Control 170 pick up.  First, I know very little about anything mechanical,  I bought this jeep out of a jeep collection in Houston, Texas.  I have owned it for approx. one year.  It has seen light work on my farm and was running fine until I decided to replace the points, distributor, spark plug wires, etc.  It has not run since, my jeep friends seem to think the points are not set correctly.  I don’t have the time to mess with it and more and it is taking up space in my barn.  Tires are non-directional military and have good trend left gas gauge and heat gauge have never worked. Headlight, taillights  and blinkers work, heater works.”

Runs and drives.

“Hi guys, I’ve got an awesome 46′ Willys Jeep for sale along with a trailer to match it. Runs perfect, 4 wheel drive works great. Manual Transmission. Body is little rough but nothing that can’t be fixed or painted. Would be an awesome project. But is still good for what it is. Also have a 4×5 trailer to go along with the deal. Perfect little trailer to haul stuff around the farm. Both are in great working condition but with a little work both could be a nice collectors piece. Bill of sale only on both.”
