Jeep's Forward Control Trucks were built from 1957 through 1964 in two basic models. The 150 was built on a 81-inch-wheel base, and a few months later it was joined by the 170, which rode on a 103.5-inch-wheel-base. They became referred to as the FC-150 and the FC170 -- with FC standing for "Forward Control. They were similar in design to Dodge's [[A-100]] pickup.
