Great rig just right for a farm glad you found it it and showing us all .p.s. There is one of these down the road from me in Washington state but has 2 axles one is a floater. Thank you for the video.p.s. Reminds me of my 1968 international Scout with the 4-cylinder and stick shift a rear climber as yours 😀
Thank you for posting the video and responding to my earlier comment and yes I get nervous to when making a video, no offense intended and thank you very much for your effort!
I had a FC150 back in the early 80's. Same color. It had the factory bed rack. Very worn steering, and the trans linkage would often bind where it would get stuck in 2 gears at a light, and I would need to get out in traffic, and give the linkage a kick. Was not my daily driver. I like the oddball vehicles, but can't keep them all. One like yours I would have kept. Very nice.
So much weight on the front axle, and sitting in front of it gave my FC150 such a weird driving experience. Imagine taking a test drive on a new one. You had to like different!@@therealjeepguy
Dad bought a brand new one in '63 with a snowplow. What I remember most was he was taking it to show my uncle and the cop pulled him over for having a red revolving light on the roof instead of yellow. Brand new, first trip and got pinched by the fuzz 🎉
odd how the GVWR is so high on it and the load capacity is equal to its own weight with those axle it has lol and drum brakes hah. they had duelly versions too
You are correct. It means "Forward Control." I get nervous while being filmed and sometimes stumble for the right words. The worst part is that it says Forward Control right in front of me, and I still said the wrong thing. 😔 we didn't realize until editing the video.
@@therealjeepguy super understandable, getting comfortable with a camera isn't always easy, and memorizing scripts or getting that prompter right isn't always easy either! Great video, lots of reaally interesting stuff on an FC. I just wondered if they were called cab forwards and i wasn't aware:) I'm looking forward to the shorty FC you mentioned. cheers
I get it. For part of my job I give brewery tours and even though I have done thousands over the last 25 years sometimes I still stumble over my words. Very cool video - thanks! @@therealjeepguy
Yes, as mentioned in several other comments, I mispoke in the video. I realized while we were editing. I get the jitters sometimes when filming and struggle for the right words.
Dude
I love your Jeep
I have wanted one for many years
Glad to see you Wheelin it
I think it’s beautiful
Thank you! 😊
As a child I rode in one that my father owned. It was bumpy, loud and hot as he'll in the summer but was great in the winter and never got stuck.
You pretty much summed up riding in an FC. I definitely prefer driving it in the winter.

@casedoumasr656 thanks for watching! This one came from a farm in Oregon. I like the Scouts as well.
The FC is one of my many dream cars. Thanks for the wheeling footage. Not much footage out there
No problem 👍
This is my favorite walk around video edit I have ever seen
Thank you!!!
I haven't seen thjose tires since I left Canada 54 years ago. In my day they were either Firestone or BFG " Mud And Snow " tires !
very rare now ~ great condition
thank you for sharing
very handy vehicle 👊⁉️
Very handy we have used it to move a lot of stuff around in the bed.

No worries! Thank you for watching.

I had that happen as well. 😆 🤣 it's fixed now.

Nice video!!
Thank you!
Great! There are some units in Brazil
They are awesome.
Very original
Thank you so much!
FC stands for forward control not forward cab, it says it on the cab emblem!
@Allice2221 Yes, as mentioned in many, many other comments. I misspoke. I am not a professional youtube star and get nervous on camera.
I've never heard of it called a forward cab, only forward control.
