The FC is one of my many dream cars. Thanks for the wheeling footage. Not much footage out there

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 🎉

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

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 🙂

I've never heard of it called a forward cab, only forward control.

@therealjeepguy 3 ай бұрын

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

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.
