Aren't these cool? Yeah Mike, I meant 4wds for here. I always wanted an FC pickup. They were unique and a great idea for a pickup that can go where no other can. No hood to look over as you top a climb, get right up on stuff with your own eyes, and for whatever length bed you have you have a way shorter wheelbase. Not to mention a spacious cab considering the era and the overall size of the truck. Sure is spacious compared to the Willys Wagons and pickups. I like the Little Willys pickup cabs, too. I'm a truck guy through and through, but hot rods were my first love and I see having one of those as satisfying both loves...if I could only have one.

My family has a mountain top farm (just land now) in the NW tip of Maryland and I've always dreamed of keeping a mountain goat up there for getting firewood and chores on the place, running into town, and of course general boppin' around the countryside. This what I had planned for the '71 C/30 Napco I had.

I decided to retire it due to a shot cab, so I sold the utility bed and took it to a lcal guy who builds/repurposes used commercial trucks...stretch/shorten frames, swap bodies/beds around, tractor out of dump, garbage out of box van, old horse vans onto new truck, etc. I had swapped off some work on his house when he mounted/painted the utility bed. So, I sold it and he pulled it when I sold it. I had overhauled the whole drivetrain on that and the plan was put another can on and have this guy (who is also an auctioneer) locate a single wheel contractor dump w/hist for it. If you've ever seen one, they are no wider than the cab with short sides. That was the plan till it disappeared from his shop!
