Here we have another video that we found on the FC Connection website. This 1962 Jeep FC170 dump truck still does daily duty pulling down trees and hauliing the logs around. Ride along as the owner topples a tree and hauls the contents to another site. What an awesome truck!

I have seen some vintage photos of the red tour FC Forward Control Jeep trucks, but I was elighted to find this article about the restoration of one. The Jeep was found in Colorado and was lovingly restored from the monster truck status you see in the photos below to a period correct San Juan Scenic Jeep Tours company vehicle.
