i aquired 2 yrs ago a 63 willys jeep fc 170 single cab similar to truck in aviator, google it if not sure what it is.
short story a forward controled truck (similar to a small toyota dyna) same wheel base as a gq lwb they were brought in austarlia by the air force as aircraft rescure vehcles it is a very unique looking truck and very rare in austrailar with only 126 brought in in the early 60's and as far as i have researched only one of four left.

any way i had big plans for it dedicate to lpg, i collected a 454 chev bb 4sp auto adapted to gq transfer which gives same side drop as the dana diffs that are standed in it, i was going to extra cab etc and make a great tow tourer

but with a divorce then becoming single dad of 2 and as it has being stored at my dads farm, and him becoming ill and needing to move from farm i may have to abandon it sadly, as i have no room for it nor funds to finish at present.

so sad story blah blah blah

so the cab is complete but rough it had large rust holes that have being cut out and rust proofed, but if your good with a mig and willing to create no problem to follow original lines, it has a a make shift wooden tray needs replacing.
it has dana 44 in the front and dana 70 in the rear i am unsure what ratio or center type but spins all 4 at once on grass with no trouble every time i tested the thoery !! was dual wheel on rear originaly but now has custom sunnys running very old but inflated 31's
it had new suspension when i brought as in shocks and springs and has not being driven other than move around the farm it has a ford 6cylinder pre crossflow 3sp and dana 18 transfer.

i have thought of selling or wrecking or just removing cab and diffs to put on late model chassis later and selling of what is left etc but if some one was as enthousastic (and a better speller) as i am about it i may concider letting it go.

ps the bb chev, adaptor 4sp auto etc are not for sale they are going to another easier course .
