The FC is one of my many dream cars. Thanks for the wheeling footage. Not much footage out there
No problem 👍
Nice video!!
Thank you!
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 🎉
😆 thanks for watching and sharing! Love hearing stories about them.
This is my favorite walk around video edit I have ever seen
Thank you!!!
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.
Cool truck
Man these rigs are soooooo cool
Yes they are!
Very original
Thank you so much!
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.
I had that happen as well. 😆 🤣 it's fixed now.
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
Great! There are some units in Brazil
They are awesome.
I've never heard of it called a forward cab, only forward control.
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 believe the FC stood for Forward Control.
You are correct, I mispoke in the video. I realized while we were editing. I get the jitters sometimes when filming and struggle for the right words.
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
Yup you're right 🙂
Forward control
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.
