That sure is pretty.............ugly lol.
But pretty neat as well. I've never seen anything like it. Wondering what year it is and what it was used for?

'79 CJ5, 258 I6, T150 w/Dana20, Dana30 front and AMC20 rear. My first Jeep! I'm looking forward to doing some minor upgrades and restoration while enjoying the ride.

Its a Jeep Forward Control, built by Willys from 1956 to 1965. It also came in a 4 door. Very cool, but I like old and different, then again I am too. I am a big fan of the old COE trucks too.
No I did not buy it. I've never even seen one before today. So I took a couple of pictures of it to share. I'd like to have it, but I got my eyes on a Wagoneer for my next project, unless I can find a 4x4 NAPCO Chevrolet truck or CarryAll.
This truck is located at https://www.jeepheritage.com/ . They had a green Wagoneer out front which caught my eye. They specialize (REALLY) in Wagoneers and Jeep trucks. They actually had two of these things. If you go with the link the green Wagoneer is on their website for sale. Don't be eating or drinking anything when you look at it.
1968 CJ5: all stock (V6/T86/D18/D27/D44) except 4bbl & headers and rear aux tank, HD rear 44 housing, Warn OD, Belleview winch, Whitco top (New Blue)
1968 CJ5: mostly stock (V6/T90/D18/D27/D44), unknown make 3" lift springs, 11" Bendix brakes, Warn OD, unknown electric winch, Kayline tire/jerry can carrier, Bestop Super Top (Old Blue)
1947 2A and 49 3A that may or may not get built, and several FC/wagon derelicts
Probably a 57 FC AMC 150 but I can't be sure with the wheels that are on it. All in all, relatively straight and the usual rust through areas appear absent (but that could be bondo talking).
The early (56 & 57) FC AMC 150 's shared a lot with the same era CJ5 's. 81" wheel base, the 49" WMS/WMS Dana 25/44 axles, T90A (side shift), D18, and F134 Hurricane . In 58 they went to 57" WMS/WMS axles with Dana 44 's on both ends. All had 11x2 brakes.
My late father bought a 57 FC AMC 150 (used) in late 57 or 58. It was what I took my driver's test in about a year later. As with the CJ's, pretty gutless and not all that stable as they were very front heavy. In fact, there is an approximately AMC 150 lb cast iron counterweight between the rear frame rails. That said, I wheeled the hell out of that rig and it pretty much would go anywhere a stock CJ5 would. It was about the perfect vehicle around the ranch. You could stack about 20 bales on it and the 72" bed presented no problems for fence posts. That vehicle is still here but hasn't turned a wheel in a couple of decades. I toyed with swapping an sbc into it but I have enough problems just getting my 55 3B back together (but a lot of progress on that front lately).
