300 made under one 1964 contract for the U>S>M>C> although some were then provided to the Navy out of that contract. Anyone on this forum have or know of one?

No, but I see a lot of hits for Willys Forward Control

Yes, my understanding that the M677 was the military version of the Jeep FC170 with the crew cab. The USMC required a diesel engine to reduce on board gasoline storage on ships. This data plate indicates that this M677 was the second one produced.

Did know of two, that came off the Marine base here, but sadly they were crushed.
Wish I had gotten the data plates for you

This one has the Cherilist 3 cyl diesel engine still running in it. Saw a brief blurb on Low Rider car show at a jeep event and a gentleman had one of these. Stated only about 80 of the M566's left and only about 10 with the original diesel engine in it. Fact? or Fiction? I have also read that only 30 of these trucks are known to exist, regardless of the engine type.

The two I saw had the diesel motors, and were Marine marked trucks
