The ranch I worked on the summer of '65 had a Jeep very much like the one pictured.  It was sure fun to drive.  Good times!

It did have a dump bed. 
It sold yesterday morning. Before I inquired about it. 
Maybe I should focus on getting my other two home.

When you haul a load to the scrap yard your not supposed to haul four loads back!
Just wanted to post more of my FC junk jammin. 
I’ve looked at these fc’s for close to 20 years and only in the last 5 years has the owner started thinking about selling…..
Well I went ahead and asked again and followed with an offer on the two parts fc’s.
 I really wanted the nice grey fc150 but at this time couldn’t justify spending the money Sleepy
So I made a deal for the green fc170 mostly complete no front axle. 
And the red fc150 no motor Trans or t-case front axle is laying in the bed. No titles.

So a few days after buying the two parts fc’s the owner calls me and says….. so we had something bad happen!!
My grey fc was hit by an excavator!!!
He was so mad and disappointed he said he wanted me to buy it for half of what he was wanting. He just couldn’t stand to look at it anymore!!
When I was in the yard before I had thought…that’s not a good place for that to be parked but it had been sitting around for years and never got damaged Confused
I can only afford junk… so now it was in my price range Ouch
Ran a few years ago but been sitting. 
Super excited to get it going and drive it around!

Wow, Wisconsin- that red one is a long way from home.

It's fortunate that you have equipment available to load and unload. And good thinking putting them on the trailer backwards. Not sure if I would have thought that far ahead!
