The DJ-226 Truck Brochure From Canada

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This truck brochure from Canada caught my eye on eBay, because it labeled the truck as a 2WD DJ-226. I suspect the brochure is from about 1960.

1946 CJ-2A Spanaway, WA $8500

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: , , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $8500.

(03/05/2024) The seller is correct; this is a classic PNW build, with the Desert Dogs, a V6, the diamond plate corners, the diamond plate side pieces, the Bobcat Hood, along with other updates.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/459634346632408

“The time has come for me to sell my 1946 CJ2(ish) little beast. It’s sporting a Buick 198 fireball, t90, bobcat hood, Cadillac telescopic column, rather beat up 64 corvette seats, full set of Desert Dogs, ect ect. The top is pretty beat up but keeps the weather out about as well as you could hope. All and all a great example of a classic PNW jeep. It runs and drives but could certainly use a tune up as I’ve not been driving it much at all (hence the sale) Mainly looking for cash but could be open to trades for a newer jeep that would be more daily driver friendly”

nelly-belle-jeep6 nelly-belle-jeep7 nelly-belle-jeep8 nelly-belle-jeep9

“A 1954 NellyBelle Jeep pedal car in unrestored but still in usable condition, well as long as you’re on the smaller of stature side. Perfect for a mancave or to bring along when you show off your real CJ2A. Now a bit of history thanks to Onlinebicyclemuseum.co.uk ‘NellyBelle’ was among the most popular items of Roy Rogers memorabilia sold during the currency of the TV show, (and since), and jeep models were sold in various forms. A small diecast model was marketed by Stuart, and a 15″ plastic ‘Nellybelle’ was sold by Ideal, complete with a trailer, character figures and Trigger the horse. Marx made a large pressed-steel version, as well as a plastic model in its Roy Rogers Rodeo Ranch Set. The pressed-steel Marx model was the most accurate in colour to the original: with a plastic Pat Brady driving and Dale Evans in the passenger seat, it was 11.75″ long and 5″ wide, and included the cut-out below the windscreen on the passenger side through which Roy Rogers shot his gun. Saddle up pardner!”

Night Skies

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

We stayed up extra late Friday night and were rewarded with clear, active skies! I took these photos with my iPhone (no filters, no adjustments later). However, the phone made these look much more colorful than they were to my eyes. Once I realized how cool the skies looked while using my phone, I walked around the property taking photos. We have a bunch of solar, motion detector lights, so they just added background light also.

But, before the night pics, I have one from Saturday. I was in the garden and looked over to see what I thought might be a dead cat … but, no, it was just sleeping.

2024-05-10-cat-sleeping

Other notes … more progress was accomplished on the FC. The oil cooler fan bracket is all done, the cooler and fan attached, and the wiring ready for install. The gas pedal is nearly done, though I want to lighten the pivot portion of it.

One additional note. It seems the eye surgery I had last August has accelerated the cataract in that eye, which has resulted in some loss of vision. I’ve got new glasses arriving this coming week, so I hope that allows me to see good enough to race. Otherwise, I will have to get and recover from cataract surgery before racing … if not one thing, it’s another!

Okay, now the sky photos:
