Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to digitally present
this 1963 Jeep FC150.
In the early 1960s, America was building-literally. Farms, job
sites, municipalities, and small businesses needed machines that
worked as hard as the people operating them. Jeep answered that
call with the Forward Control series, placing the cab over the
front axle to maximize payload, visibility, and versatility. The
FC150 wasn't designed to be flashy-it was designed to earn its
keep.
Powered by a 75-horsepower 4-cylinder F-head Hurricane engine
paired to a 3-speed manual transmission and four-wheel drive, this
FC150 delivers the kind of mechanical honesty that defined its era.
Simple, durable, and dependable, it's a drivetrain built to work in
conditions that would stop lesser vehicles in their tracks.
What truly sets the FC150 apart is its adaptability. Jeep
engineered these trucks to serve countless roles, and this example
reflects that original mission perfectly. Out back sits a
functional stake-bed setup, ideal for hauling equipment, supplies,
or materials. Up front, a forward-facing winch reinforces its
work-ready nature, while provisions for a snowplow attachment speak
directly to its utility-first design and cold-weather
capability.
Today, vehicles like the FC150 occupy a special place in the
collector world. They're no longer just tools-they're rolling
reminders of an era when function dictated form. Whether preserved
as a working vintage truck, showcased as a conversation-starting
classic, or enjoyed for its unmistakable character, this FC150
delivers something modern trucks simply can't replicate:
purpose-built authenticity.
This 1963 Jeep FC150 isn't about luxury or speed-it's about grit,
ingenuity, and the satisfaction of owning a machine that was built
to do a job and do it well.
