Where can I find the Military FC-Jeep based truck on this forum? - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

macjeeper · 08-21-2009, 15:06

I'm looking for a Stock FC-170 with Straight 6 engine and 9' bed truck or a Cerlist powered FC-based body military truck.

Will this be a new SS thread or forum group.

I'm sure alot of mil Jeep members here have had a FC-Jeep, just wondering where to go with this thread.

Thanks,
Mac

Welcome to the group.
I think the FCs are around but it may take a little hunting to find the info you want.
This site is continually evolving as members get into more unusual MVs.
Best way is just what you did; toss out the question and people will start responding.

The following pics are from the early 60's my Dad used a borrowed Bell Labs FC-170 for working the yard in New Jersey. I was 4 years old in the FC Jeep, my brother was walking in front.

I too have always had a fasination with the Jeep FC's, as well as the Ford Econoline Pickups of the same vintage.

There's a JeepFC Firetruck on display here in San Angelo TX at Goodfellow AFB (Joint Services Firefighting School). I'm looking for Base Access to do a photo shoot of those firefighting MVs on exhibit along the troop-walk to the school.

Does anyone know if there were any 60's Ford Econoline PickUps in issued motorpools? Any pics? Markings?

Hey Macjeeper, I recently saw a M-677 for sale in the auto trader or whatever it's called in Reno. Was like $6500, I think I still have the paper if I do I'll get you the contact info. For some odd reason they don't list their vehicles online.

Somewhere I have pics of a few of these. Parts for the Cerlist are all but extinct. They are cool as heck ( loud as heck too). I missed a pretty nice M678 on Ebay in GA a few years ago. Oh well!
