   I am thinking the frame and bed have been shortened.

   Like the winch bumper. Looks like it could have had major bondo work in it's past

   It looks unusual to me too, like it's in between a 150 and a 170 length??

   Hi Alex, It looks like it sold. There's another one for sale nearby, but it needs work and has no title: http://madison.craigslist.org/cto/5670768876.html - Dave

   I baught this in spring. It is a cross between 150 and 170. The front half is a 150. 4 cylinder f134. It needed an engine rebuild. I have completed that and runs good. I have obtained a title aswell. I don't think I am going to do much more with it besides tires and get the brakes working better. It's a fun little truck. I am currently looking for a fc170 that is restored. I don't have the skills or time to do a complete restoration on the one I have. So most likely will be up for sale again soon!

   David i hope you can give me some insight. I am new to the fc seen... I found a very nice 1961 fc150 this week. The owner is the second owner and has alot of documentation. It has a flatbed on it that he had rebuild but all the original photos show a flatbed. Is it possible that the flatbed was factory? Ive read about fc170s with different backs but not certain about the 150. The truck is very nice and I am most likely going to buy it but am hung up about the flatbed.. Thanks Aaron

    Hi Aaron, I'm sure others can chime in. As I understand it, there were some FC-150s produced that were stake beds. Whether the one you are looking at was originally produced with a flat bed or not I couldn't say. I personally wouldn't be hung up on the flat bed, unless the jeep is priced as if it was 100% original. If you have any other questions, feel free to email me directly at d@ewillys.com. - Dave
