1957 NARROW TRACK. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR. HERE IS THE STORY---I BOUGHT THIS JEEP FOR PARTS BECAUSE I AM RESTORING TWO OTHER FC150'S. THE GUY TOLD ME IT RAN GOOD, IT WAS HIS DECEASED FATHERS. IT WAS SITTING OUTSIDE FOR 7 YEARS WHEN I LOOKED AT IT. I PUT SOME GAS IN IT AND A FRESH BATTERY AND IT FIRED RIGHT UP. WHEN I TIRED TO DRIVE IT ON THE TRAILER IT JUST KEPT LOCKING UP IN THE FRONT. HE SAID HE DID NOT KNOW WHY. WELL I BROUGHT IT HOME AND STARTED TO MESS AROUND WITH IT . I DID NOT HAVE THE HEART TO PART IT OUT BECAUSE THE MOTOR RUNS SO GOOD. NO SMOKE EITHER. HE DID TELL ME THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY OVERHAULED AT SOME POINT IN ITS LIFE. I TORE THE FRONT END APART AND FOUND THE RIGHT AXLE , RING & PINION, CARRIER ALL BROKEN. DON'T ASK ME WHY, BUT I REPAIRED IT ALL WITH N.O.S. PARTS. I PUT SOME NEW SEALS IN , REPLACED ALL THE BRAKE SHOES, LININGS, WHEEL CYLINDERS, ETC.---ALL GREASE & OIL LEVELS DRAINED AND RE-FILLED. I ALOS GOT NEW RUBBER BRAKE HOSES FRONT AND REAR. PLUS NEW STEEL LINES FRONT AND REAR & A RE-BUILT MASTER CYLINDER. WELL IT RUNS AND STOPS WELL. WINDSHIELD HAS A SMALL CRACK--SHIFTER IS RUSTED TIGHT. IT WILL SHIFT 1ST AND REVERSE. I KEEP SPRAYING OIL ON THE SHIFTER ONCE IN A WHILE, BUT JUST HAVE NOT HAD THE TIME TO FIX IT. 4 X 4 AND TRANS ALL WORK FINE. ++++++THE PLOW BRACKETS AND THE SPOT LIGHT SEEN IN THE PICTURES ARE NOT INCLUDED---THEY WERE REMOVED AFTER THE PICTURES WERE TAKEN+++++++ PRETTY MUCH COMPLETE. THE SEATS ARE ORIGINAL. I BELIEVE THIS WAS ONE OF THE RED / GRAY ONES YOU SEE ON THE OLD WILLYS ADS. NOW --ONCE THE PLOW BRACKETS WERE REMOVED, ON THE LEFT SIDE THE FRAME LOOKED WEAK. I WAS ABLE TO TAP A HOLE IN THE FRAME. YOU COULD EASILY WELD A PATCH OVER IT--BUT I REALLY AM SELLING THIS FOR A PARTS JEEP. I DO HAVE THE TITLE IN MY NAME----I PUT A MODEST RESERVE ON IT , ACCORDING TO WHAT I FEEL THE PARTS ARE WORTH. I WILL ONLY RUN THIS AD ONCE AND THEN I MAY PART IT OUT. I WOULD NOT MIND KEEPING THE ENGINE / TRANSMISSION FOR A SPARE ANYWAY. +++++PLEASE----LOOK AT PICTURES CAREFULLY AND ASK QUESTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING. I CAN HELP LOAD. YOU CAN CONTACT ME AT 920-905-4096 IF YOU WANT TO TALK OR E-MAIL ME. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ========A $500.00 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED WITHIN 48 HOURS OF END OF AUCTION======BALANCE OF PAYMENT MUST BE MADE WITH 5 DAYS OF END OF AUCTION---UNLESS PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE. ************ PLEASE NOTE---THIS VEHICLE IS BEING SOLD AS IS **************
