1959 Jeep Facts Basics The Jeep FC-150 is a cab-over-style pickup engineered around one goal: fitting the longest bed on the shortest wheelbase. The FC-150 places the driver and passenger at the very front of the chassis, allowing room for a full-sized 6-foot bed. The FC-150 was a model of the Jeep Forward Control first introduced in 1956. Crew and Equipment Crew: 2 Firefighters Equipment: 500 pounds of dry chemical Dry chemical handline Roles Narrow Access Firefighting History of Goodfellow's 1959 Jeep The Jeep dry chemical vehicle on display is the last of its kind. The Jeep served its entire career at Thule AFB, Greenland, where its small size enabled it to traverse the narrow tunnels connecting the buildings and nodes of the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (BMEWS). On exhibit at Goodfellow since restoration in 2000, the vehicle is part of the historic firefighting vehicles on display at Goodfellow Air Force Base.
