XM818 5 Ton Tractor Truck 6×6 – Auction

Here’s one you don’t see every day (well, frankly I’ve never seen one before, so…)

XM818 5 Ton Tractor Truck 6×6

Location Apollo, PA 15613

These 6×6 trucks were made in many different configurations, beginning in 1951 (and yes built by Kaiser as well as AM General in later years). Lots of good information about the series here on Wikipedia, and also on SteelSoldiers.com (a great website by the way, if you’ve never visited).

Here’s a bit on the XM818 from Wikipedia:

“Tractor trucks were used to tow semi-trailers up to 37,500 lb (17,000 kg) with 15,000 lb (6,800 kg) on their fifth wheel. Semi-tractor/trailers have to stay on relatively flat ground, and are not rated for full off-road use. On improved roads they could tow up to 55,000 lb (25,000 kg) with 25,000 lb (11,000 kg) on their fifth wheel.”

Pretty significant towing capacity(!) and although the bid is only ~$300 currently, it is listed as non-running, so I wonder…how would you ever get this home?

This would definitely be a cool project if you have the time, knowledge and space! (And I’m betting you’d have the only one when you show up to your local “Cars and Coffee”!)

The Great Willys Picnic, Show and Swap Meet
Sunday June 8, 2025 from 9 am – 2 pm at the Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern Railroad
I have plans to be at this one, taking the red Wagon, which was at one of the older Picnics when it was held up the road, the previous owner drove it out there, so it’s making another appearance this year and we are excited to be back out there for this one.

The Great Willys Picnic, Show and Swap Meet
Sunday June 8, 2025 from 9 am – 2 pm at the Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern Railroad
located in Kempton, Pennsylvania

It’s time to plan for the 25th annual Great Willys Picnic, Car Show and Swap Meet, the largest Willys event in the Northeast. All vehicles are welcome: stock, modified, projects, CJs, Wagons, Trucks, Jeepsters, Military, Cars and even GPWs! Pre-1970 Willys vehicles are eligible to win door prizes and great Raffles are available for everyone. The Jeep Field is open for showing all more modern Jeeps. There is plenty of space for selling your spare parts in the swap meet area. Bring your Willys memorabilia and interesting parts for show and tell. Be sure to arrive early to have enough time to see all the Jeeps before the door prize winners and raffles are announced at 2:00 PM. Bring your own picnic lunch or purchase food at the refreshment stand. This event goes on Rain or Shine.

The Picnic will be held on the grounds of the

Wanamaker, Kempton Southern Railroad

http://www.kemptontrain.com

Located in the scenic village of Kempton, Pennsylvania. This is a great setting to display our classic Willys vehicles, as well as entertainment for the entire family. Also on-site is the Schuykill & Lehigh Model Railroad Club’s HO model train display. Please support the Railroad and take the optional train ride for a very reasonable fee.

As always the Willys Picnic, Show and Swap is free. Do not fall for any scams, the Willys Picnic is FREE. There is no preregistration.

1955 Willys CJ3B $18,000 Rigby, ID

1955 Willys CJ3B $18,000 Rigby, ID

Not much description, but if everything is new and rebuilt, you cant build this for the price listed, maybe they have a build book you can review the process of what went into this.

If it’s someone you know, happy to post more information.

Interior looks great, motor looks fresh, some paint details need some attention, maybe rework the rear lights there are some nice options for those around. If Im going that big would be nice to have some flood light off something like those in addition to the extra safety stuff for brakes and turn signal.

The factory lighting at times is such a small target now a days.

Information from seller:

Motor rebuilt professionally. New everything.

1949 Jeep Willys $10,999 Bozeman, MT

Steep on the price here IMO wow, but it is OBO, I would be so far apart on price would not toss an offer, but it’s good to see the rigs and what’s out there at times.

It does have a PTO winch out front, not sure on the exact set up here only a couple pictures handy to pull from.

I probably should have passed on posting this one, but here we go!

2025 Memorial Day

2025 Memorial Day

As we pause to remember and honor those who gave their lives this and every Memorial Day, I took a look back at some of the past generations and how the Jeep and Willys were used throughout various Parades and Celebrations.

1950 Rome, NY

1955 San Bernardino, California 

1956 Patchouge, NY

 

1950 Westminster, MD

Parades and large events can be really tricky to coordniate all the moving parts, this one must have been interesting when a Jeep was stolen from the Parade set up in MD during their 1950 Parade. I was not able to locate the resolution to this one!

SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!!! TOMORROW 5/25 HACKETTSTOWN, NJ

Update: 5/25 6:30PM EST…

I posted an update on OWF of today’s adventures was a great show and fun time, jump over there if you wanted to check it out.

https://www.oldwillysforum.com/forum/index.php?threads/230_ohc-1963-wagon.29911/page-8#post-401547

 

Taking the Wagon, got it cleaned up and ready for the show tomorrow. If anyone stops in track me down, typically in a Purple shirt and will be volunteering so will be all around. My buddy is always a good helper.

Almost that time, been a lot of rain this year but it looks like a wonderful Sunday should be a great turnout based on the previous rain outs at so many other events. Either way this is Rain or Shine, but looking nice for tomorrow. Stop by and see us, I’m helping in the Vendor Food Truck area and then pretty much all over where needed.

Getting the Wagon out today and geared up for tomorrow at M&M Mars Hackettstown, NJ

Also please don’t forget next weeks The Willys Jeep Rally in College Corner, OH. Will be posting reminders about this show next week as well.
