PARKED 40 YEARS Jeep Forward Control | Will it RUN and DRIVE?

Sooooo. 4.0 in the jeep?

If you find a wrecked TJ or LJ, you can body swap it and it would be super cool. BleepinJeep did that with an FC170

[@teigjames8076]

I came here to suggest that. Get you a wrecked wrangler and steal the drive train. Dana 44 front and 60 rear for the axles. That would be a beast

[@Moparfest_Robbie]

I mean… TDI swap it!

[@jackhiel7402]

I have a 1957 FC150 I’m currently restoring. Don’t quit on it! There’s so little FC content on KZbin because they are so rare, and the ones you usually find are completely rotted out or picked apart for parts. All of the drivetrain parts you can get online if you cross reference other Jeep models. Jeep used the same parts on all of their models in the 50s, so just buy parts for more popular models. I got all of my brake parts off of a 60 Jeep truck, same brakes. Kaiser Willy’s is where I get all of my parts. They are super helpful and you can reach out to Mike and he can get you those obscure parts that you might need. If you end up doing engine work, it’s super easy to take the cab off. Then you have access to everything. God bless!

[@DailyDrivenDeathTraps]

Nice! Thanks for the info, it’ll come in handy!

[@berttheturtle8611]

Funny thing about jeeps of this vintage, there is a good chance that the wheel studs on the driver side are left-hand thread. Thats probably why so many busted off? My 1952 M38 had lefthand threads and I ended up replacing them with right-hand thread studs.

You guys do know that if the gearshift will move the transmission into second gear that you can "float" it from first to second by letting off the gas a bit and matching RPM's to get it into second, right? Those old FC Jeeps are quite rare, so that one is probably worth getting it mechanically sorted and at least making it a driver. Granted, no freeway action, but still cool around town!
