In a Nutshell:
Willys built Forward Control Jeep Trucks from 1957-1964. They were relatively small four-wheel-drive field trucks. Design was by the Industrial Designer Brooks Stevens, who would later freshen up the Studebaker Hawks into the GT Hawks. --Old Hippie 12:04, 20 April 2008 (EDT)
History:
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. --Old Hippie 12:05, 20 April 2008 (EDT)
Technical:
The engine was a F-head four-cylinder engine delivering 75-bhp. Interior was sparse and functional looking. 1959 to 1961 had the addition of a FC-170 DRW, which was a "Dual Rear Wheel" (today referred as a Dually) version.--Old Hippie 12:05, 20 April 2008 (EDT)
