FC Site
« on: January 22, 2011, 06:35:32 PM »
Found this cool FC site.  For those who don't know FC stands for Forward Control.  They were built on the CJ-5 and CJ-6 chassis.

Heres an auction link to that red and white one. I'm not sure if its the same truck though. Looks like it has spacers or wider axles. It does have a Chevy V8 and a TH400 in it though. Thats alot of juice for this little truck. I like it.

the 6th page on here http://www.thefcconnection.com/willys_engineering_design_concepts.htm
"fc-170 with powered trailer"
Ah, OK!  MB is considering doing that with electrics.  I think the problem with  the old way of shafts is that it makes the hook up overly complicated, expensive and the trailer is incompatible without any other tractor.

I would LOVE to be able to find a restorable FC.  I would also love to have the money and a place to restore it.
