Jul 11, 2023 · great points. i plan to shorten the wrangler chassis as much as possible (including installing a short output t case yoke or other tricks) considering the short wheel base i need. the FC has a 81" wheelbase and i can possibly increase that to 83"-84" with moving the rear fenders on the bed back a bit. i have some ideas on the steering but the main engineering task will be …

Feb 9, 2024 · The OP's FC-170 should be closed knuckle 44 front and dana 53 rear. 44/53 combo should handle the weight you need to haul a sxs and you can get 4.09 gears from Kaiser Willys. If you plan on making a highway driver, then yes, I would look for an open knuckle 44 and rear 44 or semi float 60 if you can find one reasonable and don't want to go full ...

May 28, 2009 · The FC-170 often had dual rear wheels on either end of a D70 rear. The FC series was only made for a short time - 1959-1963 or so - by Kaiser. AMC didn't resurrect the thing (which is kind of a pity.) The wheelbase was somewhere around 105", as I recall, and both had a 53" track width (although there was a 48" version of the FC-150.)

Apr 12, 2010 · Hi! Newbie to the forum. I have a 1961 Jeep Willys FC-170 DRW. It was recently restored by my brother who brought it out here from out West (Moab,Utah). I am posting this becuase even thought the body is in great shape the engine is "kaput". I threw a rod a couple of weeks ago and now I am thinking about an engine swap.

May 11, 2012 · Ok, all you Jeep gurus out there, I have a question/favor to ask. What you see here is one original 1960 FC 150.

Jan 30, 2019 · Within the last couple of weeks my wife and I have bought 2 Jeep FCs. One is a FC150 and the other is a FC170. We are going to make one good FC out of the 2. We are looking at doing a frame swap on the FC which is a CJ5 frame now. What modern frame with coilovers would be best? Looking for good ride quality and towing capabilities. Thanks!
