The Jeep FC series is among the most versatile utility vehicles I've ever seen. At that point, the beauty is in its simplicity.

That dodge swept side is a thing of beauty, same goes for the cab forward Jeeps. Cab overs are also simply cool.

Love those old Jeep FCs. The best pickup you could buy, except for that tiny little engine. 1964 was too late to be running a flat head.

The killer for the Econoline was the solid body. With a heavy load the body would twist, and bind the doors. Later versions separated the bed from the cab solving the problem. I'm a Chevy fan, but the Econoline had a ton of storage behind the seats. I almost bought one, but another guy, got there before me. This was 1970 While I was in the Navy. The guy who had it, was so picky, he would lay on his back, and polish the u-joints with a rag, once a week.

I loved that Willys Jeep forward control.

The forward cab Jeep pickups are gorgeous... Almost bought one years ago... Love to have one now and stick a fold-out camper on it

I've owned 5 Econoline pickups, both 3 window and 5 window models,. I've had a 1961, three 1963's and a 1965. They are truly a superior design when compared to other forward cab trucks of their size available at the time, however they are not without their shortcomings, as are ALL forward cab trucks. In the case of the E series, some small and rather easy and inexpensive improvements rectify those shortcomings, and leave you with a DYNAMITE vehicle that outshines just about any other truck with 2 wheel drive and a utility bed of comparable size. An 11" front disc brake kit and a Wilwood proportioning valve solves the fading and nosediving problems. Monroe gas magnum shocks also helped, even more than coil overs...and I had one with coil overs. A steel tubular crossmember for properly installing a small block V8 improves oomph and towing, and stops any cab/body flexion. (these are unit body vehicles with no frame, susceptible to torque and road flexion issues) Adding a small V8 with that cross member also improves their already NEARLY PERFECT 50/50 weight distribution, by making them truly mid engined and placing even more engine weight behind the front axle. A nice heavy duty 4 core radiator and 5 blade fan with a fan shroud solves any cooling problem these have while sitting in traffic, V8 or no V8., you don't need a loud electric fan. I preferred these with the stock factory C4 "shorty" automatic transmission, set up with stock 9" rear end and a balanced stock drive shaft. With a small block V8 conversion, I used the B&M 2800-3200 rpm stall converter and a heavy duty valve body, no other mods were done on the trans. that was plenty for getting out of it's own way, giving nice quick shifts with minimal loss of power, and for towing without building up excess heat. I got away without using a separate trans cooler, but some people like to use them. I lived in California and it worked just fine for me. These are great trucks that don't weigh much more than a beetle, so they really get it on with a small block. The stall converter was also how I saved myself from buying rear tires because with no weight in the bed and a snorty V8, traction WILL be an issue! You can get as crazy as you want with these, but this was plenty for me, the guy who helped me with mine had a shorty van with a dual quad 460ci V8, that did (gulp!) 140 mph! -happy trails :)

Bought a 2006 Ridgeline in 2008 and owned it for 14 years. One of the most reliable vehicles I ever owned. I really miss the 2 way tailgate and the rear trunk, both were extremely useful.

He failed to mention the Ford Econoline pickup was downright fun to drive.

I would take any of them in a heartbeat!

I have a 1978 BRAT and loved it In the snow and blizzards in Iowa ran circles around my dad Lincoln.

During the commentary of he Econoline. They actually showed 1 that was actually a corvair rampside

Once again awesome video Mr Hevyshevy. Thank you for sharing your videos.

I had a FC 170,I loved the looks,had a PTO fully boxed frame,sold it before I ever drove it flathead 226 c.i. six,I was a teenager back in the 70 is when I owned it and sold it

Ugly never goes out of style

The Subaru Baja is the re-imagining of the Subaru Brat

The Subaru Baja was an update (of sorts) on the Brat. One of my brothers had a Brat and loved it. I drove it many times and it was lots of fun. It had seats in the bed that were good for watching fireworks or outdoor movies.

I really enjoyed this video, Thanks for posting! Innovation and "daring" designs with technology and the ability to have these vehicles perform various functions for work, play and everyday life. There are a few here I would love to have.

The Ford Econoline truck brings back memories. I was about 6 in the 70's and my dad had one. It had an engine cover inside the cab that I often had to sit on. On long trips it was hot and uncomfortable. :-)

Subaru made another truck early 80s I think It was named "Brat" It was kinda cool had a pair of bucket seats that went against the cab in the bed with full seat belts they came out fairly easy

Pretty good list 🙂 You did miss one : 1958- 1961 Studebaker Transtar 4x4 truck. Starting in 1957, they “ updated “ the grill with a fiberglass “buck tooth” look ‼️ 📻🙂

OMG I want a Jeep forward control firetruck 😍

The reason they stopped making cab overs is because they are so easy to work on.... Dealers lose money when people work on things themselves.

The late 50's Dodge pickup shown has a push button transmission (to the left of the steering wheel), not "3 on the tree", although I'm sure that was the standard version for it.

I had a 1981 rabbit pick-up diesel and I loved it !

Very Cool!!! Thanks for the Upload

My favorite was the jeep truck fire truck

I like the Dodge 100 . it's a classic. I'm very attracted by and to it.

I've owned a 66 Econoline pick up, and a 59 FC150, my 2 favorite vehicles. So much fun to drive, got stares everywhere I drove them.

Really like the Jeep FC.. “Forward Control” Have wanted one since the 50s.. Always rare, now any decent one is very costly.

Of all these the Ford Econoline could work today van and pickup a refreshed econoline is welcome

Love the Econoline trucks!!

I like all the older ones!

Thank you for sharing !

The best looking beautiful pickup was Kathy...so gorgeous....Kathy...always feel so good seeing you....

They're all beautiful in their own right. It's in the eyes of the beholder.

My dad had an econoline. We all loved it. We named it George.

Great vid. Thankxx

My Uncle had 1 of those JEEPS for his garden/ florist business,, We use to ride around standing up in the back of it.. LOLThe FORD Econolines were cool drove a van on my 1st job at 16 delivering to drug stores Those 50's DODGE cabs were used for every Dodge truck up into the 70's on their medium & heavy trucks. I drove one them as Dump trucks, & semi trucks, including the BIG HORN

Jeep truck is super cool... Ruled Indian streets back in 1980s

actually i pretty much liked them all.and i really do enjoy all your vids thank you.

I like the 3 on the tree transmission comment at 4:20 while it shows the mopar push button selector on the dash.

I like all of them but my favorite is the Baja it's like a small 4 Dr. Truck.... I want one

LOVE That green Rotary Power

Cassie, I find you to be the most interesting. As far as the trucks? Any of them cept the Honda and newer VW. Very cool trucks.

Great video as usual!

The end was the best. Classy you are drop dead gorgeous!!! Oh and cool trucks. Lol

I had a 1964 150 fc Jeep what a fun truck to drive ever place I parked people would point and laugh

It's like everything it's what meets your eyes. I think their good looking. If you had one now in mint condition. Very valuable.

I like the video I like them old trucks brings back memories thank you very much

Jeep forward control is awesome I love it.

A really great video i enjoyed it very much. Cassie u look very lovely

The Mazda Rotary pick ups are way cool. The Jeep FC were ugly but very usefull.

Thanks for the great video some really nice trucks. Subaru made the Baja in the 80s as well if I remember correctly it had to bucket like seats in the truck box behind the cab that faced the tailgate I remember I always wanted one but that never happened thanks again for the great video I look forward to more

I have seen an F C Jeep in the wild before, and the occasional Rotary pickup. I grew up in the Central Coast of California, full of odd imported & domestic vehicles.

Dodge finned truck sharp. Thanks for the post.

A "beautiful" truck is one that is carries the load and performs it's task year after year reliably! They don't need style or 'panache'! The FC-170 was, by that definition, a beautiful truck, that worked and worked for decades!

I had a Baja for 5 years before the dreaded Subaru cancer set in but by far the best and most useful vehicle I've ever had. Even when my friends used to give me crap about it they still asked to borrow it to move things. 9/10 would buy again

I had a 2006 Baja, loved it

The Chevy 6400 trucks were just heavier versions of the other "Advance Design" trucks of that period.

It's The most beautiful classic car in the world.. I love it...

The narrator has an easy to listen voice , I enjoyed the video mostly because of him I’d love to see the Datsun pickup at a later point The ford econoline brings back memories of my youth as I remember seeing them around

BEAUTIFUL ALL OF THEM

I'd like one of each truck, except the Wildfire.

The 46 Chevy is my favorite truck and I love the grill

This dodge truck is beautiful and loved them.

Interesting info, covered unique vehicles more than ugly ones.

We've got a 6400 sitting in a yard near us, and I think it looks cool.

One of the Ford Econoline pics was a Chevy Corvair!

My Dad drove a '64 Econoline van; it was homely but tough as nails.

That Chevy from Jeepers Creepers was cool. I like the Jeep FC among others

I am a So he can that Ram is so awesome!

Love the rabbit pickup!

Jeep forward control absolutely gorgeous 😍😍😍

Love the cabovers and nostalgia 😍

Car. It's no truck. But that jeep utility vehicle. With the bed is awesome!! I want one of those.

At least they have character and personality.

Loving them! ...but for the Daytona

Now that's a good show

The Dodge Swept Side pictured has the Chrysler push-button Torque-Flight automatic transmission, not a “3-on-the-tree”.

There all beautiful specially the old ones

i HAVE A 57 FWC 175 AND LIKE IT VERY MUCH. ENCOUNTERED MY FIRST FWC AT AGE 12, IT WAS A WELL DRILLERS SERVICE RIG. BECAUSE HE LET ME DRIVE IT A FEW FEET I FELL IN LOVE.

These trucks look better than most of the bland designs today

How is a chevy 6400 ugly? Its basically a 3100 with a bigger bonnet and the COE is frankly gorgeous! Well I want one anyway

We've got a Ridgeline (it's a company car) and I don't think they're ugly, odd looking for a truck, yes, ugly no. As stated in the video, Honda markets them as a light duty truck, like the Canyon/Colorado, Tacoma, Ranger (RIP). But they make it look like a truck because they don't want to. They make it as a open back alternative to the Pilot, if you are moving stuff and you don't want to mess up your daily.

Kool stuff

dude, the econoline trucks and vans were awesome

Coming from a VW tech the rabbit pickup is a really good light truck and if you can find o e buy it right away

I think A classic that was the ugliest will automatically become a beauty over the time!

In the world of trucks, there is a gigantic selection. You should carry on with this.

Beautiful!

The Jeep FC150 is very cool Forward Control.... I wish GM would pair up with Suzuki and make their X-Head cab over engine COE Truck... The would sell millions. Make mine with a 4 cylinder turbo diesel, getting 60mpg. and make it for under $20,000.

...and no one noticed the front plate at the begining on that Matador!

good video

ford, jeep, jeepers creepers Chevy......love them! Why I don't know.

Beauty lies on the eyes of the beholder

Dodge at 4:21 "Three on the tree" is a pushbutton automatic.

I'll take the old hightop Chevy pickup with frame. Always wanted to build a small one person with dog motorhome out of one.... So ugly, they're beautiful! And I like sitting up high, like when I used to drive tractor trailers. I miss it, but I don't miss the idjuts, which have been breeding like rabbits over the years... 😵 Classy video! I actually RODE in a rotary pickup, and it was fast!

Most of the trucks/pick up featured are good looking!
