 For Sale is a amazing shape 1951 Willys CJ3a, 63,500 Documented Miles. She has a Arizona “A” title. (for you non Arizonians, this means documented, never lost or adjusted). This Willys was restored (I’m guessing in the 80’s) seems like a frame off and there was sooo many parts that were chromed! Sometime after the restoration the trans and transfer case was cracked and it was parked for many years. The original L134 runs great and now has a new and freshly rebuilt T-90 transmission with a new clutch and pressure plate. A 1947 Spicer 18 transfer case replaced the old cracked one. A new parking brake assembly was also installed. There are 5 chrome Mod wheels (has some rust) with 5 BRAND new 31×10.50×15 radials.

The body is in amazing shape, showing a faded metallic grey paint over the original green paint. The “top hats” or c-channels are all rust free and NO RUST floors. The pictures show only surface rust on SOLID floors. Even the tool box is solid! There was a lot of chroming done during the original resto. Including bumpers, roll bar, shifters, shifter boot rings, diff covers, shackles, latches, hinges, soft top parts, Custom lower rocker and quarter trim, you name it! it was chromed! She also has a tow bar and a bikini top!

1947 Armored Ford Truck Colorado **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Other 4x4s This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on $4700.

Nothing to do with jeeps and not a 4×4, but I thought this Ford Armored F-3 truck was pretty unusual.

1947-ford-truck-armored-colorado1 1947-ford-truck-armored-colorado2

What we have here is a piece of history from perhaps the last days of the “old” west.

This is a postwar, 1947 Ford F-3 armored pickup truck. This is not a conversion or an adaptation, this is a purpose-built armored pickup for hauling something very valuable, though we are not sure exactly what.

The entire cab and doors are wrapped in 1/4″ steel plate. All windows are 5-ply glass measuring over an inch thick each. There are four pistol ports to fend off would-be thieves, and the only way inside the cab is via key – no handles or buttons. There are even instructions posted inside concerning truck rules and the behavior of its operators.

Our first guess is that this truck was used to haul lock-boxes of ore from one of the many mines around the region. The F-3 (1+ ton) designation and the utterly massive stack of spring leaves would indicate that whatever was being hauled was very heavy. And a lack of a tailgate suggests that whatever was being loaded or unloaded was done so via crane.

Our second guess is that it had something to do with the mint and the things of value both coming and going to that location. Denver has had an operating mint since 1906.

Construction is first-rate. The bumpers, bed, and even the rear fenders are made from extremely thick and heavy steel, and much time was put into the craftmanship. Gas welding is done to a very high standard.

Finally, GVW and other markings on the bedsides show that the truck was a part of a “Denver Unit” at some point. What unit – we do not know.

This truck has been sitting in a local collector’s care for the last ten years, and he finally has let it go. Last tagged in 1973. This is an opportunity to own a unique piece of wild-west history.

Condition of the truck is typical of Colorado vehicles – mostly dry, and little rust. There is some rust in the fenders and lower valance. And the floor of the bed shows some rot. Otherwise the truck is extremely solid, and has nothing but surface rust.

The original flathead-8 is long gone but the transmission remains, as does most of the rest of the mechanicals. Sadly the steering column was pinched at some point.

The truck rolls and moves easily.

$4700 or reasonable offer on this unique piece. In twenty years of buying and selling vintage vehicles, I have never had anything like this… everyone wants to talk about this truck!!!

63 photographs of the truck can be seen here:

Runs, but has been in storage for a while.

I have a very nice Willys Jeepster Project. The car is fresh from a long garage storage. It is rust free.

It has power bucket seats in front and I have the originals too. Body is 100% complete. First $7000 gets it.”

David’s 1962 CJ-5 w/ Tuxedo Park Package

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

David Silberman just picked up this two-owner CJ-5 w/ a Tuxedo Park III package. Looks like a great project. The color is Indian Ceramic, consistent with one of the Tuxedo Park options from 1961-1963. A post from 2012 post shows how this might have looked.

He notes:
1962 Tuxedo Park Mark III.
August, 1962, as per VIN.
Original paint, original tires, original radiator hoses and most clamps.
Chrome hood hinges, windshield stops. Even the tailgate chains are chrome.
The steps were chrome, but mostly gone by now.
The interesting part is the mileage. 21,000 miles. The owner got it from his uncle 50 years ago.
He added the hardtop and plow, but it wasn’t on the road since 1986.
Seats are black with “pink” sides, same as
the wheel well pads.

Here’s the photos David sent:

Sterling Manufacturing’s Jeep Trailer

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

UPDATE: Check out Richard’s Sterling Trailer here.

Most of us are familiar with the post WWII trailers like the Bantam & Spen trailers, but one most people don’t know about is the Sterling trailer built in Canada by the Sterling Machine and Manufacturing Company. I *think* the company was located in Hobart, Ontariorioon the isthmus between Georgian Bay to the north and Simcoe Lake to the south.

Only a handful of these trailers have been photographed. The topic came to my attention thanks to Glenn, who spotted a Kijiji ad in a CJ-2A Page thread for the trailer.  It appears to be the 2nd production model made. Here’s the info:

Vintage 1947 Willys Jeep trailer:
This is a unique item if you are into old Jeeps. It is serial number 2!!! It was built in 1947 by Sterling Machine in Owen Sound, Ontario for Willys Jeep. The serial number plate is original untouched and shows it as number 2. 

A little research into Sterling is they produced Civilian and civil service equipment for Jeep, and much of their business was concentrated on fire service. It appears this trailer may have originally been painted red, so it may have been sold as fire dept. equipment. 

This trailer is in need of restoration, but is still usable. Up until recently it was used as a utility trailer by my father-in-law. Lots of surface rust, but structurally it is still very restorable.

http://www.kijiji.ca/v-cargo-utility-trailer/vernon/vintage-1947-willys-jeep-trailer/589378033?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

1947-sterling-machine-trailer-canada1 1947-sterling-machine-trailer-canada2 1947-sterling-machine-trailer-canada3

=================

The best threads about this trailer are at the early CJ-5 site and at the IH8Mud site. One of the big differences between the early trailer above and the later trailer are the fenders, which change from  the extended type shown above to the more bantam-like fenders. Here’s an example:

Sterling-machine-trailer-blue3

=================

This is a vintage photo of a Sterling Trailer that appeared on Facebook.

cj2a-and-sterling-trailer

Sterling Machine didn’t only do trailers. The CJ-3B page highlights there production of Fire Jeeps: http://cj3b.info/Fire/FireCJ2A.html

Sterling also received a Canadian patent for “Sawing attachment for jeeps and tractors” in 1951: http://books.google.com/books?id=KCoSAQAAMAAJ&q=%22Sterling+Machine%22+jeep&dq=%22Sterling+Machine%22+jeep&hl=en&sa=X&ei=8vxnU4CnD43GoASmuYDwDA&ved=0CEYQ6AEwAA

Finally, it appears George Hindman owned/controlled/bought Sterling Machine. His grandson Paul Evans mentions Sterling building ‘fire trucks’ there. http://www.owensoundsuntimes.com/2011/04/17/new-exhibit-honours-hindman-ships

So, if anyone has more insight into Sterling Machine and Manufacturing, please let me know.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This truck looks good.

1962-truck-clarksville-mi

The build is 8 years old and was done by Cascade four Wheel Drive in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The truck has been in dry storage for 5 years with maintainence performed periodically. The paint is starting to show some age and has light imperfections due to storage and age . DuPont chroma base and clear were used. Shows well and still looks good. #1 being poor and #10 being perfect, I would rate it a # 8.

The truck drives down the road perfect and would drive it anywhere. Has a crack in passenger side vent window. has very small 2″ tear on passenger side door panel $25 fix. All glass is new. Power windows, door poppers are installed and worked when put in storage. Now they do not. probably loose wire or something very minor. Vintage air installed, but not hooked up. All gages and instruments work including wipers and directionals. All components of build have less than 2000 miles including crate motor and transmission.
