The body appears to have a little damage on the front driver’s corner, but otherwise looks solid.
“Up for sale is this rare Jeep FC-150 truck. This vehicle I extremely rare, and a great project for anyone with creativity, and time. The amount of things that can be done to a unique car like this, are infinite. I no longer have the time to invest in this truck however. The Engine still runs strong, and the transmission, and 4×4 work surprisingly well. I registered the car last year and then non oped it when I realized I was not going to move it anytime soon, so you do not need to worry about ridiculous backed up fees. The car does need work as it is a project, but it is definitely a good start. There is significant rust, but it is a 65 year old car so that is expected. What needs attention at the moment to get it running appropriately are the brakes and a battery, but other than that there is nothing necessary to make it a movable car. Like stated the 4×4 works well also. The lights work fine as well. I will include original seats that I bought separately.”

I believe I saw this truck for sale in the LA area about 5 years ago. LOTS of rust, for some reason remember it had a snow plow at one time. The cooling fan and shaft was missing. Make sure to look at this one close before buying. It’s going to need some work.
I’m not sure how far back Ewillys goes with stories in the archives but it was in there a few times back then.
Thanks for that update Dan. I did try to find it as it looks familiar, but I couldn’t locate it in my archives using the city or the phone number.
