That FC150 arrived on our place in 57 and for a small ranch, was a near perfect fit. Not the easiest things to work on. To pull the engine, it has to drop out below. As far as wheeling one, a little more tippy than a 5 but will go almost all the same places. Put a bunch of miles on a couple of them.
Jeep heaven? There will probably be as many opinions of that as there are people wheeling Jeeps. Personally, I'm not much into either Moab or deserts. Rubicon would be great but way too many people for my taste. I like mountains without a lot of people and pretty much have Limited my wheeling to CO, MT, WY, and a little of the ID panhandle.
