Ive seen that brought up over on the Scrambler site. I like the FC series so Ive checked alot of threads and pics on them. I think my favorite is still the Marine version.

They made a AMC 150 and a 170 (longer wheelbase). They were based off of Jeep frames and they made several styles, vans, utility's, flatbeds, etc. The military, mainly the Navy and Marine Corp used a good many of them, some even as ambulances.

That is the ugliest thing I have ever seen on 4 wheels! That would be the absolute coolest thing to drive. I did not know there was a van.

Dam your memory is failing. Remember the Olive Drab one I posted? guess I have to search now.

I would so drive that. They only made 3 of the vans.

I must find one, seen a few FC trucks never a van.

I can see it now, lifted, 44"s, laying on it's side cause it fell over on a turn.

Wait a tic, Introduced in 1956, FC-AMC 150 models used the frame and wheelbase of the CJ5 81 in (210 cm) with a 78 in (200 cm) bed. In 1958, the FC-AMC 150 received a new, wider chassis. Its track was widened from 48 in (120 cm) to 57 in (140 cm).

I'm wondering if they kept the same wheelbase?

A wider CJ, split the body then fill in the gap. Man people would be like WTF?!?!

Look up the M678 Jeep

Also the 2012 FC concept:

your right about the memory but all I remember was a truck with a canvas cover on the back.

Yes, best I can tell. They switched to 44 axles front and rear and outboarded the springs. The issue was it would roll easily and when empty, could flip end over end going down steep hills.
The FC-170 had a 103 1/2" wheelbase with a 63" track. It used a frame similar to the Willy's truck but with outboarded springs.

Dont worry my memory isnt the greatest either , hence the late reply.

If I could find a frame and time I'd make a wide CJ for sure.
