1957 FC-170 Burbank, CA **SOLD**
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.”
Reader Q: Aftermarket steering wheel for early CJ-5
Tom’s looking for some options for putting a smaller steering wheel onto the original mid 50s steering column. I did a quick search, but didn’t locate any specific products.
I’ve always used later model tilt columns with the steering wheel shown to the right. It requires an adapter that slides on to the column (don’t have a pic of that).
Anyone else know of other options?
