My dad had a Willys FC-150 for a while at the boat store. He was a big
fan of Willys and Jeep vehicles, and bought and restored at least a
dozen of them in the 1950s and 1960s. The FC-150, which sort of
resembled the Ford "forward cab" panel trucks, was absolutely an awful
vehicle, and it didn't tow boats very well, either, even the much
smaller outboard rig boats of that era. A year after he got it, he
replaced it with a Ford "stake" truck, which had a stump puller first
gear and seemingly could tow anything. Pretty fast truck, too, if you
started in 2nd gear.



Looked something like this:

That's pretty cool. I don't think I've ever seen one before.
