UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $5900.
The engine runs. Looks like a good project. More info on this rig here.
“For sale is this unique 1962 Jeep FC-170. It is one of two Hi Rail service trucks bought new by the legendary Green Bay & Western Rail Road in 1962. My grandfather who worked for the rail road bought the pair when they were taken out of service. This truck is a restoration in progress and needs completion. The front and rear cab corners, floors, drivers side door and bed have been replaced and were removed from a southern Kansas truck. The flat head six starts and runs good,3 speed trans and four wheel drive work good as well. Also included is a complete rolling chassis that has been blasted and painted and has a rebuilt flat head six mounted in it, some new parts and all parts removed from Kansas parts truck. For the rail road enthusiasts the truck still wears its original paint scheme based off the GB&W locomotives of that era”
Went down to Green Bay from the U.P. and bought this from Jameson, he had lots of work done and I have lots more to do. He gave me a collection of parts with it to help out. My plan is to restore it with the RxR door and striping as original.
Cool! Good luck with the work! If you want, feel free to share updates with us d@ewillys.com OR send them to thefcconnection.
