I vote to clear coat the cab as is. That is a gorgeous patina.
Patina is too perfect to ruin with clearcoat, there are many better ways to preserve it
Colt is a great guy and a mountain of a man. Always willing to wheel and rescue.
Wow. By the time Colt gets home he's going to have one hell of an adventure story.
I'm watching 2 years later. Two takeaways: 1) this video is the beginning of a great friendship between Matt and Colt. 2) I was thinking the other day about how we got anywhere before GPS -- atlas/road maps and asking directions at gas stations. Great video.
Thank you Colt 45 for helping Matt and us viewers out.
U6000 is a Utah State regulatory designation for pickups of 1/2 ton or less desiggnation. 3/4 ton and greater received a U9000 designation.
Ford bed
Thumbs up to Colt! He made a huge sacrifice to help out, pretty cool!
Good vid Matt. Can’t wait to see Jeremy drive out to the rescue
dang! what a rollercoaster. It's truly a jeep though if even getting it home is harder than you expected. Can't wait to see it and hopefully the scorpion made it out ok. Colt you're the man!
An FC build?!? Yes! Here for that! Glad you found it Matt! I was thinking you were gonna hi lift jack the rear wheels back on the ramps. Then I saw you used the scorpion crawler/winch which was a better idea 😂 Really cool interview with Colt. Cool Sammy too
Last part was the best 🤣🤣 same goes here when your Off-raod buddies got stuck or need help that laughing and excitement feels great as compared to the other party who were filled with tension and stress 🤣
Best video I've seen in a bit.. love the end clip with the Jeremy! Love all the schenegens in this video.. Another great video Matt, looking forward to seeing what the FC build turns out to be!
Hell yeah thought you were gonna go soft and buy a TJ. So stoked to see this build
That guy was so excited ! He was way to happy to rescue a buddy that blew a engine and rolled the jeep😔
Could have pretended a little for the camera 😁😁😁
Cool beans!
Can't wait to see what you do👍
oh man, can't wait till the next episode!!!!
The way this truck got to you is a true American story for the modern era. Glad to see you were able to get your hands on an FC and I'm excited for its future. Oh, and that's a sweet Samurai!
You should also always download your state map in Google maps so all you'll need is gps signal and will work without data signal
Glad you found one. I Love the patina. Looks pretty clean. What an adventure! Always keep maps I your rigs, never know when you lose service.
When I was a teenager, my uncle had a Jeep FC 150. I used to go off roading in it, with him., and loved it. In the ensuing 60 years, I've owned almost every kind of 4X4 there is. But I was never able to acquire an FC. About 15 years ago, I met a guy who had the coolest FC I've ever seen. It was one of a limited number that were built for the Air Force. It was a crew cab that was built on a FC 170 chassis and had a short bed. The guy who owned it had modified it quite a bit, mostly in the drive train. That thing was fantastic. Google "Baja Beast Jeep FC". I envy you and look forward to seeing your project, with it. Good luck and enjoy it.
Its not gonna be mine,, it could be yours though... We are giving it away when its done so make sure to enter: bleepinjeep.com/giveaway
And Colts laugh is infectious lol looks like you guys have alot of fun
Man I already love the story on this thing
Those windshields are hard to find. Hope you can find some good glass. What a story!
I'm so excited for this FC build!! Don't worry, I'll take good care of her!
Sweet purchase! 😀🤘🏻
That's a good story, Cole looks like a cool guy and that Sammy is Sweeeet!!! I had a 88.5 Steel Top and his has everything I ever wanted to do to mine but I always had the XJ bug.
It's gonna be cool to see what you do w/ the FC👍
Wow! what a story and adventure... excited to see this build.
Damn, it's like watching an old soap opera... 😆 What else could possibly go wrong??? Ha ha!! Look forward to seeing the next episode. Keep it up Matt!!!
Hahaha ready for the Jeremy rescue video
Haha same
Matt, your life is hilarious! It’s not. But it is! Awesome video man! Your having a good time over there in Tennessee. Very excited to see how the build on the FC goes, and it looks like your getting closer and closer to tons on the scorpion! We’ll see what happens with that engine.
Love BleepinJeep, excited to follow this build!
Massive Kudos to Cole. Amazing guy
That doesn't seem like a Tim Cameron rig. It's missing about 1500hp.
Hell yeah! So excited that you're doing this instead of a tj. This is gonna be so sic
Jeremy, What can I say " ALWAYS SMILING, HAPPY " LOVE THE MAN & A GREAT FRIEND TO MATT. Also knows how to build Jeep's.
That looks amazing will be amazing to see it finished
The U6000 is from Utah State law from pre1970s that means it is a half ton. Sweet truck
Phone books used to have city street maps in them. (good luck finding a phone book nowadays…) City Chamber of Commerce offices used to have city maps to. That’s how we did it back before the interweb days.
Your gutters REALLY need a good cleaning too
Awesome episode colt seem like a fun guy to hang whit always smiling
Love the new jeep looking forward to seeing the build

Damn you found one.... and a damn nice one. I have one I'm building but I didn't want to divulge that. 😁
They're damn hard to find. You did well thanks to your channel.
I saw one at a body shop like 15 years ago. 2 years ago I decided I want an FC. So I went to that shop and the shop was still there. I asked about the FC and the shop owner asked how tf I knew about those trucks. About 15 years ago I bought a 96 Cummins from the tow yard next door and that's when I saw the FC over the fence. So the guy tells me... he has 4 back there. 1 is a builder and 3 parts trucks. The customer is a friend and he hasn't done a damn thing to them in 30 years. No sale.
I found 1 in town right off the damn freeway visible to the world. I asked about it. They moved it and covered it. No sale.
I finally went up to Idaho on Christmas day for one. Woohoo.
Yup in a blizzard. I didn't see the road for like 200 miles 💪😁🤘
I spent double the fuel on the tow back because the damn FC is a shaped like a wind sail/parachute/ loaf of bread.
I wish you great luck and fun on your build.
If you find parts sources, please share. Someone told me about FC Jamboree, I was hoping to make it out there some day to talk to people about parts.
I have the front closed knuckle Dana 44 off this truck. It's got some kind of disk brake conversion.
That thing is awesome! Don't paint it..
BTW . . If you download maps on your phone it ill work for navigation. I also turn off the data and wifi when I'm up in the mountains in Colorado or something hiking.. the GPS works fine for finding where you are, even without data or maps downloaded.. But yea, its always great to have an old skool paper map.. LOL
The story behind the "U6000" on the side of the bed on the FC (which looks like a GMC bed to me) is that back in the 60's Utah required all pickups to put the weight rating on the sides of pickups. Trucks rated at over a certain weight rating I believe it was 9000 lbs) were required to run over the scales. So, the people in the weigh station could tell by the number on the side of the truck if you were supposed to be pulling into the scales. My father had a 63 GMC pickup with the rare (at the time) 4 wheel drive option. First 4x4 I ever drove, at the age of 12.

Cool thanks gil
Wow I wouldn't ever expect this kind of build this is gonna be sweet!
love the sauce on the dashboard!
OM606 Diesel with a mechanical Injection pump, Tremec 4050 and an Atlas, and this thing would go another 50 years..
This will be a sweet ride for sure no matter whats under the Cab..
Also, according to Google, U-6000 is a Utah designation for 1/2 ton pickup.
We used to have to declare in Utah, up until the mid-80s, how much the truck was licensed for. The U6000 sticker is the weight the truck was licensed for (6000 lbs). So happy when they did away with them!
It’s beautiful!!
Man, if only there was an internet cafe nearby so you could get your Mapquest printed out.. hahaha
What an adventure!!! Sounds like my kind of luck haha
Come here often handsome?
@@CowbellCustoms
Haha
I remember the days rodeoing, using the good ol Rand Mcnally!
Can’t wait to see this build!
Heck yeah that's what I'm talking about right there excellent good video content brother
so sWEEt! The cab is perfect. The open space in the middle is weird
FYI...You can download Google map areas and save them locally so you can access them while off network through Google Maps... :)
It's good for off road trails where reception is an issue.
Now put it on a TJ or LJ chassis with 35" tires and a tow crane on the back to make it onto a trail tow truck. Or do something else with it... I'm excited to see where this project goes, but I've always liked the FC and that cab seems too nice to cut up.
This is going to be a great build! Especially if there is a back story for each one
I've been able to use Google if I set the direction on wifi then leave with no service and it still have me step by step direction
The actual route finding is done "in the cloud" on the Google servers so if you have no internet access, it can't plot a route. I have no idea why Matt was unable to get it to work on WiFi. Might have something to do with the condition of the phone.
You need off-road articulating manlift/skyjack.
Tree's and gutters and stuff😂🍻🇺🇸👍
So awesome can’t wait to see the next vid
Thanks Colt. My FC is going to be awesome!
Mine
Matt, there are 6 FC170s for sale on CL in MD. Two are whole, four are parts.
Tim
Always wanted an FC Jeep. Make a great overlander.😀
Great video looking forward to the next one
Just stumbled into this fascinating story... BTW, in future, you can pre-download a complete Google map for your trip into phone as well as a tablet. Once you do that you do not need cell service for either device you can get full directions (but not traffic updates). I always carry a preloaded tablet when travelling in case my phone suffers an indignity.
8:32 - Only if Jeremy was there for his weight lol
Great episode
I can't believe you don't have a garmin zumo "off road". Those things are bad ass. I've Been using one for back roads or forest roads for years.
Congrats on finding a cab. That took a lot of work and the work hasn't even started yet.
Sounds like on top of things the scorpion crawler is gonna need a complete overhaul .
I bet you never thought when you two went willing that your Jeep would blow up
These boys are going through hell just trying to have fun. Guess it happens to everyone at some point! Keep up the content Matt! Love your channel. Was part of my inspiration to build what’s in my garage today
Nice, thanks man... keep building!
BleepinJeep I’m currently working on taking out beat up rear axle bearings. Going to the sand in a few weeks! Hopefully I get the chance to ride in Moab one day
Man... if you didn’t have bad luck you would have no luck at all. So you know the FC build is gonna be rough 😂
Colt is a great Guy!
Model 100 with a turbo behind it. Interesting.
I usually just see those mounted to a grimy old intake on a forklift.
thats rad!
You have my interest. I am following this build until the end. Good luck.
We are giving it away when its done so make sure to enter: bleepinjeep.com/giveaway
Are you bleepin kidding me! I am glad that I subscribed to this channel long ago. Looking forward toward the build.
This man is a saint. Thanks cole
You phone has no cell service, probably because you dropped it in the mud and ran over it 3 times, haha
Man, when it rains it pours!
Best vid in (me love you) long time.
That's awesome content !
If you’re going to break, do it with these guys. They can fix it !
After seeing this video I've never wanted a winch more.
Hes a big ole dude in that lil buggy lol
I actually just found a 1991 Cherokee with 145000 miles , yesterday.... This will be my new project..... Replacing fan clutch tomorrow....
U6000 means 1/2 ton truck in Utah for state registration. A U9000 would be a 3/4 ton. This was to comply with an old law in Utah where a truck’s GVW had to be posted on the vehicle.
The picture at 15.12 is mine!!! Pretty was pretty stocked when i passed it because i knew bleeping jeep was looking for one and that the one i passed could have been it and it was!!!!!
So coincidental!
A mid engine build would be sweet for weight distribution.
I can't believe it's that rust free from the Salt lake area, the U6000 means under 6000 lbs, years ago in Utah you had to mark the weight you registered your truck for
58 59 chevy truck bed. U6000 is weight rating license numbers in some states. Probably was a commercial vehicle.
Colt is the bro of the year for this
Yes he is badass!
Who needs brakes when the motor is locked up? The clutch is your brake. And if the engine suddenly frees up during a panic stop, hey, you freed up the motor!
🤣🤣🤣👍👍 on hill, that would be a fun ride 🤯
@@bleepinjeep yep 😊
FYI i am pretty sure on google maps you can download a map to use offline. Or it works in St. Lucia
What pickup do you all figure that bed came off? I'm guessing mid to late 50's International Harvester.

Hey Matt thanks for all the effort. Save your maps off line, in Google maps, ahead of time. Then you can still get around 👍.
Wasn't expecting my phone to go haywire 🤷♂️
first. in google maps go to settings click on off line map. down load a custom map. you dont need cell service your phone should have a gps antenna. I use this all the time.. if not might want to buy a blutooth gsp antenna. I added a Atoto A6 to my rig. its a tablet set up for cars that has gps wifi anntens. works great but wish i went with the a6 pro. next that is a nice cab!!
What do you recommend I do with my xj that has not much of anything left in the rear quarter panel where you can typically cut an fold them off near the rear bumper so please any advice will do, my thought is to get rid of wht is rusted an just weld in new panels of some sheet metal.
Just to let you know that bed can sell any were from $ 800 - 1500.00 bucks. If you don’t do any more damage to it. Can’t wait to see ya build it.
Really? What is it exactly and what about its condition?
1958-59 Chevy Apache Fleetside. If it’s the short bed even RARER. You need to measure Bed I think the short bed is 78 1/8 long by 50 inches wide. The boards measure 77 - 1/8 long. Can’t find measurements for the long bed. From what I can see you may have the short bed. Have fun and can’t wait for the build.
Sorry. Looks too have no rust , just surface rust and a bent rear corner with a few dings and dents. Surprised it still has tail light rings and lenses. Boards are replaceable as well as all the sheet metal. If short bed $ 800 -1500 maybe more. Long bed $ 800 - 1100. Long beds can be cut down to a short bed. You see ??? Research ?.
That thing is f-ing awesome.
