I think I'd prefer a nice little diesel.
FC's have more room in the back
for rack mounting, though. did they come uuith 2.5's or V-8's?
My '59 Jeep FC170 had a small flathead 6. A lot of people swapped other
engines into them. It had a 9ft box, but was overall shorter than
shortbed pickups. The Dana 44? rear axle was very sturdy, but the
suspension and brakes weren't real happy with more than a ton of load.
And a ton to the rear of the rear axle would take the weight off of the
front.
