1951-m38-chatham-nj

“Take a look at this completely rebuilt beautiful 1951 Willys M38 Army Jeep. Serial # MC21962

This jeep was rescued from a gentleman in Huntsville Alabama in 2014. It underwent a frame off rebuild. I’ve owned over thirty jeeps and have rebuilt/restored approx. 25 of them and have sold them successfully on e-Bay. This Jeep had been moderately used during it’s active life and was in need of rebuild. The frame and drive train were complete but needed some minor repair work. The engine is a correct MC engine that was just professionally rebuilt by Sigafoos Machine shop in Easton Pa. I had to replace the tub with a reproduction tub, but many of the other components are original Willys. The jeep has its military components de-commissioned – i.e. water fording gear removed, and 24 volt converted to 12 volts, has professionally rebuilt military Carter YF carburetor .

Everything has been gone through on this jeep and everything has been sand blasted, cleaned, repainted, or replaced with new, NOS, or repro parts. Continue reading

1963 CJ-5 Hero, VT $2000

• CATEGORIES: CJ5 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Runs, but seller is having some trouble getting started lately.

“I have a ’63 CJ5 with a plow for sale or trade.
Has the 134 2.2L Hurricane engine mated to the T90 3 speed manual with the Dana Spicer model 18 transfer case.
Comes with a working plow.
Body’s not in terrible shape, previous owner did some work to it. Floor pans are riveted in, not professional quality but do the job.
Brand new carburetor put on it a few months ago along with a fuel tank installed.
Definitely needs work, not a daily driver by any means.
Needs brakes, Emergency brake works well. Headlights work, along with plow lights.
Was running well, but been having problems starting it. Going to change plugs and fluids and work from there.
Would really like to put more work into the jeep, but really don’t have the knowledge or the finances to do so.
Looking to see what’s out there for trades or make me an offer. $2000 obo”

Year? CJ-5 Shipshewana, IN **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ5 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.

Nick’s selling this CJ-5.

“No title. For sale is an early CJ5, somewhere between 1955-1971 I forgot to check the data tag. I haven’t touched the Jeep since purchase and don’t know much about the mechanics. F-head engine, it is not running. This has a period correct hardtop with a decent body.

Tires are BFG mud terrains exactly like on a new Wrangler. They’re in decent shape but will be great on the trails. You can see in the pictures the front of the Jeep is sitting low. Somebody took the front leaf springs off the Jeep. At the least you’ll need front leaf springs and a front driveshaft. Currently the axle is sitting under the Jeep – just posed.

Floors are in good shape. Engine is complete side from plug wires. Shifters move nicely. Frame is sturdy. Feel free to call/text me anytime of day. We have a forklift to push this right on your trailer.”

Fourteen Jeep Adventures 1940s-1960s

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

I’ve been compiling a list of jeep adventures. These are just some that I’ve documented. There’s  few more to add to the list, but this is good for starters. If you know of others, let me know.

  1. Bantam BRC in 1940: The earliest documented trip occurred September 29th, 1940. That was the day the very first jeep—the original Bantam BRC constructed in only 49 days—was driven 270 miles from Butler, Pennsylvania, to the testing ground in Holabird, Maryland. It was an amazing accomplishment given the newly designed vehicle had been barely assembled, let alone tested.
  2. Wolf Blint in 1945: Near the end of World War II, Wolff Blint escaped fighting on the eastern front by driving across Europe to Paris. He documented his story in his memoir, By Jeep To Freedom. The book is out of print and difficult to find.
  3. Soldier and Bride Return from Europe circa 1945: An unconfirmed event, the story unfolds with a U.S. soldier marrying a woman in Europe following WWII. Somehow, he is able to secure a jeep. Together, the pair drive to a port in France or Germany, have the jeep shipped to America, and then drive the remainder of the route to the man’s hometown in Illinois.
  4. Ben Carlin in 1948-1958: In 1948, Australian Ben Carlin began a trek around the world by heading east over the Atlantic Ocean in a modified 1943 Ford GPA (a jeep made to float over water) named ‘Half-Safe’. Over the succeeding ten years, Ben and Half-Safe traveled 50,000 miles over a period of ten years. His exploits filled three books, each book covering his voyage in different ways. Half-Safe can be seen in action in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-Gqi-RlbO0
  5. Helen & Frank Schreider in 1954-1955. Helen & Frank Schreider first jeep ended in a failed attempt to cross Panama in a Willys wagon when their jeep was beat to death as they drove across a long train trestle. For their 1954-55 attempt, they purchased and customized a Ford GPA, naming it La Tortuga. Starting in Alaska, the pair traveled all the way to South America. Subsequently, they wrote a book called 20,000 Miles South: A Pan American Adventure in a Seagoing Jeep From the Arctic (A nearly identical version is published under the name La Tortuga). They also filmed some of their trip and toured the United States giving lectures about their experiences.
  6. Three Boy Scouts Travel 44,000 Miles in 1955: Dubbed Operation Pineapple, three Sao Paulo Boy Scouts—Hugo Vidal, Charles Downey, and Jan Stekly—drove from South America to Alaska and back as part of their effort to attend the 8th World Scout Jamboree in Canada. The CJ-3B Page has an excellent overview of their trip.
  7. Dorothy Rogers & Louise Ostberg in 1955-1956: Dorothy and Louise were two college professors from New York who met while traveling in Europe. They successfully circumvented Africa in a jeep wagon. Dorothy later wrote a book about their adventure called Jeopardy and a Jeep.
  8. Joe Ceurvorst in 1956: Joe wrote a book called Africa in a Jeep about driving around the northern part of the African continent.
  9. Roy Follows and Noel Dudgeon in 1958: Joe and Roy were two Colonial Police officers fighting Chinese Communists near the end of the Malayan Emergency. Ready to head home, the pair bought a Willys MB in February of 1958, then begin a long journey home full of obstacles, broken parts, encounters with unfriendlies and more. Their tale from Singapore to the United Kingdom unfolds in their book about the trip: The First Overland: Four Wheels and Frontier.
  10. Jack & Doreen Shakespeare in 1958: Jack and Doreen drove their early wagon from Australia to England. Lucky for us, they filmed their trip. You can relive their adventures on youtube.
  11. Helen and Frank Schreider in 1960: Ready to his the road again, Helen and Frank rebuild a second Ford GPA that they use to float the Ganges River in India. Their five month 1960 India adventure from the mouth of the Ganges to its source filled forty-two pages of the October, 1960, issue of National Geographic.
  12. Helen and Frank Schreider in 1960-1961: On the heels of their India trip, the Schrieders, again with National Geographic support, tackled the breadth of Indonesia, a 17,000 island archipelago, going to places and completing a trip that few, if anyone, has replicated. Their 4,000 mile trip lasted a year. Their ability to shuttle between islands and over land took them to places no vehicles had gone. Helen and Frank wrote two subsequent articles for National Geographic (May 1961 & August 1962) and a second book, the Drums of Tonkin: An Adventure In Indonesia. They went on to work regularly for National Geographic, though their jeeping days ended.
  13. Harold Stephens in the mid-1960s: Harold drove around the world in a CJ-5 and Toyota Landcruiser. He wrote about his experience in Who Needs a Road? Harold went on to become a travel author.
  14. Dorothy Rogers & Louise Ostberg in the mid-1960s: In the late 1950s, Willys Motors introduced two Forward Control jeep trucks called the FC-150 & FC-170s. Dorthy and Louise thought the latter would make a great vehicle to tour the world. So, they bought one and set off on their second major jeep trip. Dorothy later wrote about their experiences in Highways Across the Horizon.

Willys Overland Mechanics Binder on eBay

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

There’s a bunch of information inside this. I’m not sure how much jeep information there is or not.

“Purchased from an estate sale of a Vietnam veteran that was a mechanic there…as the story goes. This binder is in very good condition for it’s age. No breaks or signs of visual wear. It is packed full, as seen in the last picture, of all different types of service type manuals from the mid 60’s to early 70’s as best as I can tell. There are some Willys, Chrysler, Ford, Jeep, Renault, Chevrolet, tons of other service information. So much information that would be impossible to list it all. All pages are also in very good condition. Very interesting piece of history!”

1946 CJ-2A Shipshewana, IN **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Nick’s got this late column shift 2A for sale.

“This is a rare 1946 column shift CJ2A. I have a title.

The Jeep is serial #35221 and complete with a proper “go devil” l-head engine mated to a T90 transmission. Along with the body tag I have the 3 original dash tags. The previous owner stated the engine ran with an external gas tank. I hooked up a battery and with a spray bottle of gas, and I had it running for a few seconds.

-rebuilt starter
-new battery terminals (not pictured)
-new key switch

I’ve never owned a column shift and did not attempt to get the Jeep driving due to a lack of time. Things I know it will need: clutch linkage connected, passenger rear axle nut, oil filter gasket. All four tires are dryrotted but hold air well. It rolls and steers very easy. Body is rough as seen in the detailed pictures. Front frame horns have been repaired but as a whole the frame is sturdy. With all the column shift linkage intact, it’s a great restoration candidate.”

It runs (with an inline 6).

“Has a Lil rust on the bottom side. It has a 1963 ford falcon straight six with a original jeep transmission 3 speed. This is a running driving jeep. Probably will have to trailer home because top speed is about 40 miles per hour. Headlights work horn works. 4 wheel drive works. Everything works. Wheels like nobodys fucking business. I just used it to run up in the hills cause I live 10 min from the hills and to take the girlfriend on a date down on main street. Really nice Lil toy. I have a cummins and toyota now so I don’t use it anymore. It’s time to let someone else have fun with it now”

Nice looking original Converto airborne trailer.

“This is an original as found 1944 Converto Airborne dump trailer. This is perfect for pulling behind a military jeep. This has the original reinforced combat wheels as well as the original factory tires. Of course the tires are rock hard. There is NO rust through anywhere. This is the most solid one I have ever seen in un-restored condition. This is a true barn find…well van body find. There is some very minor light pitting in the bed which is expected for it’s age. It rolls around just fine. It dumps and has as you can see the linkage for dumping. This is a surplus item from the TVA in the 50’s and has been in storage ever since. If you want a beautiful Converto that will be a piece of cake to restore look no further. This is in museum condition. They don’t get any better than this. QTM Parts”

GPW Body Lodi, CA $1500

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

UPDATE: Still Available.

“I’m selling an original body that came off a late-war Ford GPW Jeep. This is what they call an ACM2, or composite tub, so it would also be correct for your late-war Willys MB.

There’s no rust on the hat channels, no rust holes on the floor, toolbox compartments, fuel sump or pioneer indents. There are no repairs and no bondo. However, there are some minor holes, “character” dings, bends, and bruises that will need some attention. Overall, the body is in great shape! I’ll try to post some photos this Saturday, but you’re also welcome to come look at it in person.

Asking $1500 Sure you can spend a bit more and get a pretty reproduction, but who wants that?! With a bit of work, your WW2 Jeep will be original, not a replica, and it will be more valuable in the long run.”
