“1963 Willys Jeep FC-150

This is a rare cab-over style Forward Control Jeep with a 2.3 liter F-head 4-cylinder engine, 3-speed T-90 manual transmission, and two-speed T-18 transfer case. I have a clear Texas title in my name. These unusual trucks draw a lot of attention.

The engine and transfer case have seen no use since being rebuilt and they are out of the vehicle, along with the gearbox (which has not been rebuilt). Radiator is rebuilt. This truck was sold new in the Phoenix, AZ area and remained there with the original owner’s family until I brought it to central Texas about three years ago, so body corrosion is minimal. Brakes are rebuilt with no miles on them. All window glass is good. Comes with new hoses, wiring harness, clutch, pressure plate, brakes, a spare set of doors, rear window glass, bare cylinder head, spare disassembled 3-speed gear box, vacuum brake servo, plus various extra pieces of trim and small mechanical items.

I had begun restoring it but got interrupted shortly after starting the process and I now realize it will be years before I can get back to it. This is an opportunity to do an easy restoration on a very simple vehicle and end up with a rare and prized vehicle at a budget price. Photos in this ad do not show that rear fenders are removed (stored in bed of truck) and that I had begun to remove excessive body filler in both front doors.

You can research this type of vehicle via several websites but the best place to start is probably: www.thefcconnection.com/

Most of these trucks were sold in the snow belt or to government or road construction companies, so most of the survivors are severely rusted or simply were badly abused. Keep this in mind if you are thinking about bidding on one of these on eBay.

Price for vehicle, as is: $5500.00 Vehicle is located east of Austin, a few miles past the Bastrop County line near Utley.

I have other Jeep parts I wish to sell separately:”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was  on eBay.

it does roll and steer for transporting and is not taken apart —- its still all together !!
please read this entire ad if you are still interested and want to become the new owner of this very neat truck. . . .”

UPDATE:  Sold.  Was priced at $1500.  Apparently this didn’t run after all, but does turnover.

This runs, though it is now powered by a Ford motor.  And, the inside needs a make over, but the price might be good. It’s been converted to propane, too.

“This is a good restoration project. RUNS! 1957 FC 170 with small Ford motor; with a propane fuel system. Included with the deal is an extra cab.”
