UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8450.
(12/29/2013) This FC comes equipped with a diesel.
“Up for sale is a 1962 Willys Jeep FC Forward Control Flat Bed Truck 4X4
Mercedes Diesel Engine pulled from a 1984 300D. Will drive and we’ve taken it up to about 50 MPH at which time the steering feels a little weird. Not sure if the steering wheel is loose or it just feels weird due to it being raised (37″ tires). Its definitely still a project with all the parts here & the major work already done. Registered in California through FEB 2015.
Known issues:
-4X4 Cable needs to be connected
-Drivers window is in door but doesn’t close
-Brake fluid leak
-RPM gauge is not connected
-Steering feels loose at high speeds”
Looks good but probably not very practical with the lift. The winch is painted Cat. yellow, but can’t tell what it is. It looks similar to a Warn, but maybe out of a piece of heavy equipment.
This guy just bought this truck from Craigslist. I believe it was $4,500. The guy he bought it from paid $3,500 so it gone through a lot of hands in the last few months. Make sure to inspect. The past owner broke the front axle and bent the frame or cab so bad that when it fell to the ground it broke the windshield out. He came over to my place and bough a 150 and spare used windshield I had. The last owner told me it had a lot of issues and asked for my help in figuring out what was wrong. I never heard back from the guy. I guess he decided to sell rather then fix it. It looks like the new owner decided the same thing.
Thanks Dan!
I have a warn winch that looks just like that and I it was new in 1972 controlled from inside the cab
of my 72 chevy3/4 ton chevy 4×4.
Dave, this truck was on here last September.
