Please allow ample time for our high resolution photos and video load of this rare 1962 Jeep FC-150 4-Wheel-Drive Forward Control truck, thank you! 1962 Willys / Jeep FC-150 Forward Control COE Truck Video Below / Enjoy the Presentation 4-Wheel-Drive / SEE VIDEO OF THIS FC-150 IN ACTION - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIbeHF1M-rk The Forward Control Jeep series was designer Brooks Stevens' attempt to improve versatility and make efficient use of space of lightweight pickups by placing the cab above and in front of the engine. This provided more interior space and allowed the pickup bed to be larger without increasing overall length of the vehicle. The FC-150, based on a CJ-5 platform, was the lighter duty short wheel base model. Also available was the FC-170, a heavy duty long wheel base version. These Willys Jeeps, later Kaiser Jeeps, were produced from 1957 until 1965 in limited numbers.This particular early model year '62 Jeep FC-150 4x4 truck was found in dry storage in the corner of a Texas barn by the current owner. It was last registered on the street in 1998 after some mechanical restoration efforts by the previous owner(Hurricane-4 Engine Rebuild) . Today it runs out strong and drives down the road, goes through the gears and is an overall solid and enjoyable FC-150 as is or could be restored to the level of your choosing. It has been lightly used around the farm and stored in a nice concrete floor shop here at the Texas owner's private residence. The light duty FC-150 Jeep COE designed 5-Window truck is certainly difficult to find. I hope you enjoy the presentation. Be sure to play the video, look through the detailed photos and feel free to contact myself, Sam, personally at 972-748-6389 or email with any questions. I am also available to take any specific photograph requests of this FC-150 truck. This has been a privately owned family rig that is being sold only because the owner has other interests and could use the space. I offer mobile private advertising services for special interest and collector vehicles in Texas, specializing in Ebay Motors. Contact me, Sam, for details at 972-748-6389. Surprisingly this is the 1st Jeep Forward Control series truck I have ever worked with, what a unique vehicle this is. I wonder how many survive today? They are difficult to find in a running and driving condition like this one.You need a Jeep FC-150 truck, specifically this green '62 model I'm showcasing. Formidable in appearance and function, the FC-150 was Jeep's light duty truck, powered by the Hurricane 4 cylinder paired with a 3-speed manual transmission with 4-wheel-drive high and low range. This rig runs out good and steers surprisingly well. The engine is not smoking and does not appear to have any noticeable issues (See Video). The brakes, although functional, need to be pumped up and could use a bleed or likely a rebuild to some extent. The gearbox goes through all the gears and the clutch grips as it should. The exterior shows patina and an overall solid body with some flaws and bruises. The only notable rust I could find was in the front cab corners, detailed in the photographs. The flooring and framework appears to be Texas solid throughout, as do the interior cubby storage areas, lower rocker panels, bed, and tailgate. Again, please see all detailed photos. The original identification plate is intact and legible. All of the glass is intact throughout. The doors are solid as is the cab and bed. This is the original color, likely repainted at some time over the years. The interior features the original seats which are hinged to raise up and very easy to remove. These seats are in very good condition, both the vinyl, seat bottoms and seat backs. Please see the video for better detail on the seating. The flooring is original and solid. The engine cover is easily removed and re-installed. There is also a trap door for quick engine access, also from the passenger compartment.The headliner is intact and in great shape. The basic dash retains the original speedometer cluster. The speedometer is not working. The steering wheel is original. The horn is not working. The heater assembly box appears intact throughoutThe Hurricane-4 4-cylinder engine was factory rated at 78 horsepower and moves this light-duty FC-150 down the road just fine ( SEE VIDEO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIbeHF1M-rk ) This engine is in good running condition. This was a rebuilt 4-cylinder Military type engine installed by the previous owner, please look closely at photos. Again, the engine runs out strong.The bed is solid throughout as is the tailgate. You can see where wooden stakes were likely mounted around the bed in earlier times of this FC-150s life.The front cab corners are bad about holding water in these and both have some rust, see above photos, otherwise this is a really solid old '62 Willys Jeep.The clutch slave has been rigged up to work with this reservoir. I lifted this Willys / Jeep up to show you the frame and floorboards, which are exceptionally solid throughout. The left rear fender has had some work done, a minor dent beat out and someone didn't finish the job. The inner fenderwells look solid and original front to back.Again, the flooring is in exceptional condition.Check out the WARN locking hubs...
