Not a whole lot of value here, but maybe some can use it? Thanks to Andy for sharing.

“Older Trailer, needs tire, tail lights, TLC. Free if anyone wants.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(07/10/2024) Here’s an unusual CJ-3B with a set of hydraulic forks in the back. Thanks to Andy for spotted it!

“Use for farming or restore it! 1961 Willys Jeep. Original 4-cylinder 4wd flathead. Just serviced, runs great. Jeep has folding tow bar winch and hydraulic forks on the back used to carry avocado bins on grove roads (lifts 1000-pound bins no problem). Asking $4,750 with forks or $4,000 without. Title in hand, not registered since only used on private roads. Located in Pauma Valley.”
The body looks to be a replacement body.

Thanks to Bill for sharing this news. Back in 2013 Ann and I drove by Jack’s Government Surplus outside of Tucson. We photographed this jeep. I assumed it was junk:
I’m sure others of you have seen the jeep as well. Well, that jeep was acquired and restored. Here it is at the 2024 Toledo Fest:
You can watch a video (that I can’t seem to embed) and read more here: https://www.wtol.com/article/life/automotive/jeep/toledoan-restores-wwii-era-jeep-for-showcase-at-toledo-jeep-fest/
We’ve spent the past couple of weeks researching and viewing motorhomes (so much learned). We have decided upon one we like (powerful, 10k towing, easier to maintain, strong resell market, locally made, plentiful solar power), which I’ll unveil later this week, assuming everything goes well (we have a bit of a drive to go get it). I’ll discuss this more later.
It’s first ‘event’ will be in two weeks at the PNW4WDA summer convention. Here is a sneak peak (again, if all goes well);
All that time and research, plus more heat and Ann’s short vacation, definitely slowed progress on the FC. But, I was able to get most of the wires labeled using Ann’s label maker, though I didn’t realize until half-way through that I could create multiple lines (insert head exploding emoji here); so, for example, “Bat-to-Ign” on one line could be better labeled “Battery to Ignition” on three lines.
Once I complete that task, then I can bind the wires up more tightly and cleanly and begin testing systems. As you can kind of see below (not the best pic), the wiper knob, the light switch, the ignition switch, the dash-turn blinkers, and the speedometer are all connected using plugs. They all have labels, so identifying their corresponding plug should be easy. In addition, I tried to use different types of plugs so that plugging something incorrectly would be nearly impossible. The lighter is also easy to unplug. More difficult is the three gauges under the dash, as two of them are mechanical (I couldn’t find 1.5″ electric temp and oil gauges). So, the gauge panel has to be unbolted if the dash is completely removed.
Here, most of the wires have been labeled. I can’t wait to clean up the spaghetti!
This four-page service news has an interesting article on page two about one potential cause of driving vibration when traveling down grade. Page three includes an axle gear gauge block guide for various models. Finally, page four documents recommended service station colors, which isn’t something I’ve ever encountered.
This postcard from Wentworth motors of Alabama appears to show a CJ-5 with a PTO supporting a posthole digger. So, I *think* this is from around 1955-56, given the lack of DJs or FCs. Note the Willys Bermuda in the parking lot. This would also suggest post 1955.
Oh muy. Look at this cool old Fresno-Clovis style jeep. It’s got the body, the doors, and the Muller top. It also has a micro lock on the dash and a rare Husky overdrive. I need to forget about eWillys mobile HQ and go get this one!

It’s project. Maybe it’s on a 3B or CJ-5 chassis, hence the year?
