1958 Willys Jeep FC-150 4×4 Pickup

MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present this original and rare to find complete 1958 Willys Jeep FC-150 4×4 pickup. These highly maneuverable workhorses featured a unique cab-over-engine design. FC150 stands for “Forward Control,” which is often referred to as a “cab-over” and the model used a slightly wider chassis and wheelbase of the CJ-5. The FC-150 were remarkably convenient trucks with their short wheel base and unusually low beds making them easy to load and unload they enjoyed popularity with workers and farmers world-wide. This Jeep almost looks quirky and is cute as a button and sure to demand attention anywhere it may go!

The Jeep Forward Control is a truck that was produced by Willys and then Kaiser Jeep from 1956 to 1965. The layout featured a cab over (forward control) design. In 1958, the FC-150 received a new, wider chassis and the new T-98 4-speed manual transmission.

Finished in the optional President Red and Plantation White combination this all steel body pickup shows very well. The side mounted spare tire matches the other four wheels and tires. The front fender extensions and rear fenders are solid and look great. All the trim is present, complete, and displays normal wear for a vehicle of this age. The black front bumper is fits well with a finish as expected considering the age. The custom rear step bumper is sturdy and is functional. The metal bed and wheel wells is completely covered with a black protective paint.

Inside, the grey and black vinyl seat that looks period and is very good condition. The black door panels and grey dashboard are a subtle continuation of the two-tone theme of the interior. The optional heater and original gauges are correctly placed have a nice appearance and function as designed. The original equipped two spoke custom steering wheel is in good condition and functions as designed.

This 1958 FC-150 is equipped with the original 134cid Hurricane F4-134 inline 4-cylinder engine fed by a Carter one barrel carburetor. Power is transferred to the wheels by a Borg-Warner T-98 four speed manual transmission and a Model 18 transfer case. Driver assist features include 4-wheel drum brakes. The suspension includes leaf springs with front and rear solid axles. The 15-inch original white steel wheels with Goodyear Wrangler tires complete the look.

The FC-150 advertising motto in the day was “Go Anywhere!” and all your need to do is bring this ’58 to the next “Jamboree” and turn heads! GET OUT AND DRIVE!
