Chuck Merlo sent me these pictures of a FC-170 near his home in San Saba, Texas.  Chuck is a 30 year military veteran has had a soft spot for the Forward Control Jeep ever since he saw his first one in the movie, “Hatari” starring John Wayne. 
Well this 1959 FC-170 seemed really clean, was licensed and inspected for street use.  Unfortunately the very proud owner was asking $15,500.00 for the truck.  Chuck hopes someday to find a clean, affordable FC that he can call his own someday.  Keep looking Chuck, there are many good finds out there in the South waiting for the right owner to grab them up.
