The guys from Badlands Off Road Park in Indiana stopped by before heading east in this really cool FC-170 Camper. Keep your eyes peeled if you're between California and Indiana as you may see it on the highway.
some day it will be displayed at www.badlandsof...

Cool FC and camper, amazing to see them still together. There's a book called Highways Across the Horizon by Dorthy Rodgers about two women driving a Jeep FC with an Alaskan Camper on the back around the world in the '60s.

Smart idea to tuck the propane and gas cans between the spare tires and fender flares as well as under the edge of the camper. Cool looking rig 👍👍

Sooooo cool, I'm currently restoring one in NorCal. A 58 FC-150. Building a tube chassis, lengthening the wheelbase to a 170. Adding a mid-frame LS engine with a 4L80e and a NP205 Tcase. One-ton axles on 40's with leafs front and rear. Thing is gonna be a monster when its done

It'd be really cool to see them find all 3 and do 3 tier restoration. Make #1 all "stock" original to the tour days, #2 and extreme updated version, and #3 a blend of both.

I'm from the Midwest and have gone to Badlands Off Road Park quite a few times. Great place! May see that rig out there this summer. Would be cool to restore it mostly stock. Hope they actually fix it up and not leave it with "patina". That truck could be used and enjoyed for many more years with some TLC.

I live near Toledo Ohio and in 50 years I’ve never seen a FC before. Untilll I moved to a small town just outside Toledo. There’s a woodworking shop In the country area I drive thru quite often and there are 2 F C’s out front and I’ve seen one in the back.
