Known for its first ever US military vehicle model, the Jeep company or ideally known as the Bantam had introduced numerous vehicles and some of them came in series. The first Jeep prototype, the Bantam BRC that was built for the Department of the Army by the American Bantam in Butler, Pennsylvania was followed by the two competing protypes produced by Ford and Willys-Overland. It would be very fair to say that the Bantam Company had initially come up with a fine vehicle design and engineering as its first vehicle produced met the Army’s criteria.
But because the vehicle’s engine failed to meet the Army’s torque requirement, plus the company wasn’t self sufficient enough, it was then realized by the army that the company was too small to supply the number of vehicles needed. Hence, it allowed Willys and Ford to make the second attempt on their designs after witnessing the Bantam’s technical paperwork. Years following, the Bantam Company introduced its masterpieces to the public. The Jeep complete lineup of vehicles was classified into traditional, dispatcher, crossover, compact SUV, SUV, pickup, and truck. The recent models include the Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Liberty, Jeep Commander, Jeep Compass, and Jeep Patriot.
From the year 1956 to 1965, the Jeep Forward Control or the Fc was built. This vehicle was actually a truck produced by Willys and Kaiser Jeep. Its layout featured a cab forward which is also known as the cab-over-engine or COE design. Designed for Utility, the Forward Control models including the Jeep Fc150 were basically marketed as work vehicles for corporate, municipal, military as well as civilian use. The customers were actually offered a large number of “Jeep approved” specialized bodies from outside suppliers, although regular pickup box beds were standard. These ranged from basic flatbeds to complete tow trucks, dump trucks, and fire trucks.
There were numerous versions of Forward vehicles that were manufactured in many other nations under collaboration agreements with successive owners of Jeep including the Willys Overland, Kaiser and American Motors or AMC. Owning a Jeep Forward Control vehicle will help you out when it comes to loading heavy and huge cargoes. This vehicle is intended to perform with utility features and is made tough and superior for work.
