This 1962 Willys Jeep FC-150 (chassis 6554825012) has been used as intended over the years, and as a result is not without the odd ding, dent, or rusty patch. Still, the seller says it is substantially solid, with no structural rust and minimal cab through-corrosion. Further said to run and drive well, the ad includes a good quality, ~5 minute video of the truck operating on the farm and road, from outside and in the cab. Find it here on eBay in Los Angeles, California with reserve not met.

As the seller points out, front cab corners are known to trap water and rust, as can clearly be seen in the shape of a small hole in the above shot. This is matched by a similar patch on the opposite side, but otherwise the cab looks quite good throughout. Green is believed to be the truck’s original color, though the seller admits it’s probably been resprayed at some point in the past–wouldn’t the recessed grille/headlight area have been painted white from the factory?

The interior is very spartan, though surprisingly does wear what looks like a factory, black vinyl upholstered headliner in good condition. Neither the speedo nor horn work, though the former is thought to only need a simple cable replacement. The heater box is noted to be fully intact, though functionality isn’t mentioned. All lighting has been gone through and is functional however, though the driver’s window is cracked–a replacement is quoted at $90. Seat upholstery looks as it it could remain original, and shows no tears or rips.

The engine is a replacement NOS military crate 78 HP four-cylinder installed by a previous owner about 18 years ago. The seller says it runs well, as seems to be supported by the aforementioned video. The frame has plenty of surface crust and grime, but is said to be very solid with no serious rust–ditto the floorboards, bed, tailgate, and lower rockers.

The truck looks right at home among the cattle and open fields, and should ideally be kept working for another 54 years. Tend to the rusty cab corners, keep it well-maintained and it should easily be up to the task.
