Craig shared the news that the FC-150 Mobile Cocktail Bar has been finished! You can view all the information and details on the build here: http://www.thefcconnection.com/fc-150_mobile_cocktail_bar.htmBelow are some highlights

This project began with a rusty FC-150 cab that was found in a field. It was paired with an equally rusty FC-150 bed. Coincidently, their colors matched pretty well. The owner decided it was not worth the money and time to repair the body and cab, so he went a different direction, creating a cocktail bar. Moreover, this contraption can travel as independent single units or be joined together and transported as a four-wheel rig thanks to some clever engineering!

Believe it or not this cab and bed came from two different vehicles. Most all of the body suffered from severe rust and would take quite a bit to repair. (The bed was found laying in a field)

The idea here was to build a full scale bar that can be easily moved around inside a building and even moved outside for parties. The only real modification to the sheetmetal was the removal of the bed floor which was toast already.

Independent jigs were built under each body part so they can be separated for easy movement. The bartender can serve from inside of the bed with the floor removed and the custom tool box on the right side will make the perfect serving counter. The original look was preserved and all lights function to give it a completely opperational look.

A receiver was also added to the front of the cab so it or the complete truck could be towed.

Here we are with the tow hitch installed for easy transportation. The receiver tubes on the bed can be used as shown above OR the Tongue can be removed and the receivers used to join the bed to the cab..

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was auctioned for $17,500.

Blaine shared this Bring-A-Trailer auction for a nice looking FC-170. I love the old school washer bag hanging from the dash. I have an OEM foot actuated bag in Patterson, but don’t have pics at the moment; instead, here are pics of the Allstate washer bag that came with Patterson.

“This 1963 Jeep FC-170 is finished in two-tone red and white over beige vinyl and is powered by a 226ci Super Hurricane inline-six paired with a three-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case. The truck is equipped with a bed-mounted spare, a hydraulic plow frame, and a rear-mounted winch. The selling dealer acquired the truck in 2017, and service during their ownership included an oil change and replacement of the brake lines as well as the rear brake drums and hardware. This Kaiser-built Jeep Forward Control is now offered in Indiana with a clean Pennsylvania title.”

“1963 Jeep FC170 for sale.
Does not run, however I believe the timing chain has jumped a tooth and haven’t had the time to change it.

The engine is the standard straight 6 226 cu in Super Hurricane paired with the T90 transfer case.
Frame only has surface rust and is solid.
It has the hydraulic system that was used to operate a front mounted plow.”

1960 FC-170 Missoula, MT **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

It does not run.

“Here’s your chance to own a rare 1960 Jeep FC170.
I bought the FC170 ten years ago and have come to the realization that I don’t have time to get into a restoration project.
Before I bought it, I dropped in a battery and aux gas tank and it started and I drove it around a field. I was told it ran fine prior to being parked. I am assuming, as it is like a tractor, all the other mechanical parts and pieces work fine, but it is not road worthy as it sits.
This FC170 is a restoration project vehicle.
Everything is original.
Flatbed trailer necessary for shipping.”
