Wanted: F-head/L-head crankshaft

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

In order to keep costs as low as possible, Cliff and the folks down at Mississippi State University have decided to rebuild the F-head that currently powers the M-38 FireJeep they have. One of the important items they need is a replacement F-head/L-head crankshaft.

If you have one that is in good shape that you’d like to donate to the cause, let me know.

Thanks,

– Dave

Dave spotted this wagon.  It looks like a pretty good updated build.  My question is, why not move the wagon so you don’t have a chain link fence covering half the pic?

I wouldn’t mind getting some more shots of this 1958 Civil Defense M-38A1  from the South Plattsburgh Fire Department out of Plattsburgh, NY.  This unit serves as their brush truck and currently carries 80 gallons of water, chain saw, hand tools and a booster reel supplied by a 30 gpm pump belt driven off the prime mover engine.

1947 CJ-2A Eureka, CA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.

This looks good, though it has a broken passenger-side axle.

“90% finished ground up restoration. Including: gear inspection, complete emroned frame axles and running gear, new tires, rebuilt engine and transmission with aproximately 1500 miles on them, tub pan replaced with diamond plate, all wood supports removed and replaced with steel chanel, rubberized undercarriage, all new guages, fuel and oil systems upgrade, oversized radiator, saginov steering, clean wiring, custom bench seat, brand new Bestop soft top, and many many oem replacements throughout. Sweetest running willys around, super billit build, must see to appreciate.

Whats left/wrong: Needs paint, has some rust on tail gate and windshield frame (planned on getting new ones) rest of body is rust free, and done right, guages need to be put in dash, mirrors, and wipers need to be installed

The issue: I was playing with it on the coast and broke the passenger side rear axle shaft recently, and have decided I dont have the time or ability to repair the axle. This is a super common break with lots of online info, and replacement axle shafts are 80 bucks. I have put over 10 grand into this jeep over the past 8 years, and Im letting it go for 2500! Must see to appreciate, and MUST sell.”

Paul finds a MB with an unusual Ford Cab Mod

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

Paul writes that the days are getting longer and the temperatures warmer, allowing him to check in on friends across Alaska.  While looking over one collection recently, he spotted this unusually well done transformation. Those terra tires sure looking in good condition, too! Paul, be sure to thank your friend for sharing this with us!

Paul writes, “I’ll try to remember what he told me concerning the construction / modification of this Jeep but it appears a Ford pickup cab was grafted onto the Jeep body, the four cylinder engine was replaced with a V8, Scout axles replaced the original axles and I think he said the transmission was replaced with a T90 along with numerous other modifications but you can see for yourself when you check out the pictures.  With the power of the V8 this little Jeep can quickly dig holes with the tires while in low range and gassing it just about makes the Jeep jump in high range…”
