“Pretty intact old Army Jeep. Began life in OD green, shows Navy grey in places, now pale yellow w. Civil Defense markings. (reproduction sticker)

F-134 motor. Rochester carb. Originally 24v electrical. I have switched the coil, distributor and starter to try and get it to run. Jeep sat idle for many years on a ranch south of Marfa. Jeep will fire and idle. Shows decent compression. Runs on fuel in carb bowl or starting fluid but not building oil pressure. Have not tried to run longer until I could determine if it was oiling but not showing on the gauge or…

Please call or message me (via the Facebook link) for more info. I’ve tinkered a lot on this Jeep and can give you a good idea of its condition. Would be a great project, much of its original army stuff is still there. Body in pretty good shape considering. The 24v stuff can go with it if desired. Restore, build a ranch / hunting Jeep or get running as-is. Patina for miles.”

    Whoever painted it that color, they did a lot of them.
    Over on the Steel Soldiers forum specifically the / Korea to Vietnam War Vehicles, / M38, M38A1, M170 sub-forum, there are several in similar condition that members have and are working on. One is in Texas, the other in Iowa.
