Rediscover a piece of American automotive ingenuity with this 1960 Jeep FC-170, offered by Garage Kept Motors in Grand Rapids, Michigan. A testament to Jeep’s innovative spirit, the Forward Control (FC) series blended a unique cab-over-engine design with genuine off-road capability. Finished in a utilitarian green exterior and powered by a dependable 226-cu.-in. inline-six with a 3-speed manual transmission and 4×4 drivetrain, this FC-170 embodies the perfect mix of history, functionality, and mid-century charm.  

A Classic Jeep Built for Utility 
The Jeep FC-170 was engineered with one goal: unmatched versatility. Marketed as a truck that could handle heavy-duty farm work as easily as it could tackle rugged terrain, it features a cab-over-engine layout that maximizes cargo capacity and visibility. Whether navigating trails or hauling loads, this FC-170 delivers the durability and practicality Jeep has long been known for.  

The Legacy of the Jeep Forward Control 
Introduced in 1956, the Jeep Forward Control series represented a major innovation in compact truck design. The FC-170, with its longer wheelbase and increased payload capacity, was especially well-suited for both commercial and recreational use. Its forward-control cab provided exceptional maneuverability, while its military-derived engineering ensured the rugged reliability that defined Jeep’s off-road reputation.  

Distinctive Design & Restoration 
Finished in green with a matching interior, this restored FC-170 captures the utilitarian charm of its era. The cab-over silhouette gives it a distinctive look while optimizing functionality by reducing overall length without sacrificing bed space. The result is a truck that’s as practical as it is striking—a true conversation starter wherever it goes.
