Vintage Jeeps have always been popular with automotive enthusiasts. Most of the time they are of the CJ or Civilian Jeep variety. However, in the past few years oddball models have become more accepted. When I first saw this ad, I immediately thought of the antifreeze green version that I saw at the 2016 SEMA show. More about that one later. This particular Jeep truck is a 1958 FC-170 and can be found here on eBay with a current bid of $2,500. The truck resides in Austin, Texas and has a buy it now price of $9,500.

The ad doesn’t have a lot of information regarding the history or condition of the truck. It does indicate that the entire drivetrain may need replacing and the transfer case is missing. Perhaps a body swap to modern diesel truck chassis is in store? How would you approach this project if it was yours?

How cool is this badge? I don’t remember seeing one of these before. The design and layout is great. It has influences of the jet-age of the 1950’s and 60’s and is a really great design. I hope the new owner keeps these badges and incorporates them into the truck somewhere.

The interior has certainly seen better days. You can tell this truck hasn’t been picked apart or modified, which is a good thing if the new owner is going to attempt an original restoration. For someone going the custom route, these trucks have nearly endless possibilities only limited by your imagination. How bout antifreeze green with lots of chrome and a marriage of vintage and modern components? Just check out this 1958 FC170 that was at the 2016 SEMA show. Can you picture yourself cruising in something that cool?
