1959 FC-170 Rural Haven, KS **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: FC150-FC170-M677 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500

(09/19/2011) The engine is apart and floor needs work.

“Very rare 1959 Jeep FC-170 pickup truck with 9 foot steel bed. Have looked all over the country in Craigslists and cannot find another.

Truck was disassembled and body work, sanding and primer done and reassembled. Contineltal L-226 engine disassembled for inspection. Probably needs bearings, rings, valves ground and reassembled (or else install engine of your choice).

It has HD 3-speed trannsmission, drive shafts, good radiator, good tires. Doors are good and straight – they
open and close easily, need new door seals (door to body). Both original bucket seats need recovered.

Truck is original – not lowered, raised or modified in any way.

The floor in bed needs replaced, or a piece of sheet metal or wood layed on top of existing floor. It apparently has set outside and the bed floor rusted. The floor support cross members are good and solid.”

Runs great, We drive it almost every week in the summer, I don’t know how much to ask for it yet, Its hard to find compairable Willys like this one. I’m putting it out for offers.

Travel Update

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

After a couple days in Omaha, we are cruising to Colorado Springs for the weekend to visit my Ann’s friends.  The weather so far has been perfect, with beautiful blue skies.  We have only had two near misses (cars switching lanes into us — you’d think a bright red mustang would be easy to see against the endless brown fields, but, nope, some drivers just seem intent on making our drive that much more interesting).  I had my first Runza while in Omaha, which is a lot like a Russian Piroshki, but not deep fried.  It won’t be my last.

Thankfully, the mobile broadband is functioning beautifully, hence the updates this afternoon. On Monday we will be in Denver for two meetings I have, then on Tuesday we head back to Omaha.

A Unique Hunting Jeep

• CATEGORIES: Features, M-38 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Paul forwarded me some images from a friend of his who built this hunting jeep for a client.  I think there is some nice work here.  Thanks Paul! My weapons specialist gf thought it was very cool!

Paul wrote, “this M-38 was built by a friend of mine (Rob Fife), who is a master at fabrication. He restored the M-38 for a customer, who then decided he wanted a hunting rack on it. He built the frt/rear racks to be quick attach, with quick pins,  and the rear seat mounts on pedestals so it can be used front or rear. Then the customer decided he wanted to use in parades so gun mounts were added for (3) airsoft m60’s for crowd control. It handles good and isn’t too top heavy.”

No Updates until Thursday — Biscuit temporarily not for sale

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

There won’t be any more updates until Thursday.

On another note, since I’m about to begin a month of traveling and will be away, I’m going to remove Biscuit from the ‘for sale’ category.  Hopefully, between now and the end of November, I will finally get a job offer I’ve been awaiting.  If that occurs, Biscuit won’t be re-listed any time soon, which might just please my mother more than anyone for I think she was the one most upset about me selling it!

For the record, I think Steve’s Jinx worked; I never received a single call about the my ad either off eWillys or Craigslist.

However, I will still consider selling the paddle tires and/or the desert dogs.

Paul’s 2WD Street and Parade Jeep

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

UPDATE: More pics added to this post that show the build process.  Thanks for sharing Paul!

Paul wrote to me a couple days ago to share his nearly completed project.  I’ll bet it will be a kick to drive.  He notes that eWillys “gets part of the blame for my madness.”  Yeah, I’ve heard that a few times 🙂

“My project is a 1949 CJ-2A that i inherited. It has a custom tube chassis, 2wd, rack and pinion steering and 4 link rear suspension.  The body is stretched and frt wheels moved forward. The 5.0 ford engine has an aluminum head and a roller cam.  The tranny is a c-4 auto.  The rear end is built with a narrowed 3.73 8.8 inch ford with traction lock.  The fuel cell mounts under rear seat.  Finally, the markings on the jeep are from my unit in vietnam. It is going to be a street rod and parade car. I have had a blast building it so far and hope to have it on the road soon.”
