1949 Truck Yakima, WA **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
This runs and drives and includes an overdrive. I’m sure someone will recognize that dash; I think it fits nicely in there. The WILLYS over the radio is a nice touch, too. Thanks to TJ for sharing.

1962 Truck Cumberland, MD **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6300.
This flatbed truck appears worth a look.
“1962 Willys Jeep Truck. Runs and drives. Original drive train with the 226 ci straight-six and manual transmission. We have a fair amount of paperwork for the work that’s been done over the years. It’s a pretty solid pickup. There are a few rust spots, it’s not a show truck. Floor pans are better than decent with a few small holes. It starts right up and idles great. Tires are good. Paint is decent with the exception of the hood and roof where the clear has seen better days, and in the rocker areas where there is some rust bubbling. I’ve tried to be overly honest with the description, and I’m sure I’ve missed something, but I think you’ll be pleased to see it in person. Sold AS IS. Title in hand. Cash only. Pick up in Cumberland, MD.”

1947 CJ-2A Randolph, NE Make Offer
Unclear how much value is here.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/247270289549336/permalink/1512518646357821/
“47 willys. Willing to sell. I bought in hopes to restore but I just don’t have the time. No title. Engine does not move. It does hold coolant though. I drained oil and coolant last year in hopes to start on it but then had a major surgery that made me stop. Located northeast Nebraska. Not sure the worth of it so I’m taking offers”
FC Updates
Some pics from this weekend’s progress. The first is the completion of the flip-down fuse box. Fuse boxes often have to be put in awkward locations, so I thought I would try a flip down box, which stays hidden most of the time, but can be dropped down with a single long pin removed (still need to make that pin, but the two small bolts do the trick for pics).
I really don’t know how well this will work, but figured it was worth a try.
A closer look at the fuse box bracket. The hinges are some kind of cabinet door hinge (I think); Dad had a container of these hinges for some unknown purpose.
Here are some pics of the accelerator brackets. The one on the left acts as a guide for the accelerator cable (the red/green wire is a stand-in for that. The left bracket also acts as an anchor point for the spring. The right bracket rotates, in this perspective, clockwise when the pedal is depressed. The bolt and spring acts as an adjustable stopper for fine tuning.
Not the best pic, but this shows how the gas pedal connects to the hem joint, how it goes through the floor, and how it then connects with the cam bracket.
May 1957 FC-170 Export Brochure
This brochure from Canada is from CS 5-57X. There was a US domestic form CS 5-57, but it was very different.
This is the front of the flyer:

March 1959 Maverick Canadian Brochure
This Canadian version of Form No. 59-03 highlights the “Maverick” model, while the US Domestic version did not (see example at bottom).
Here’s a comparison between the Canadian and US Form No. 59-03: (sorry for the poor quality of the right image .. it turns out I don’t actually have that brochure)..
“Streamlined” Jeeps From the Pacific
UPDATE II: Here’s another, similar ‘streamlined’ jeep posted by Mike Haines on Facebook. Note that this one appears to use a standard windshield and, thus, has a flatter cowl than the ones seen below:
========================
UPDATE FROM Jan 7, 2021: This post has been updated with a better version of the video:
The photos below are snapshots from the above video. They resemble the jeep shown below that was built by Wayne K. Pike. It was built by members of the 9th Service Squadron at the 13th Army Air Base on the island of Moratai. Note that it has a chrome/stainless trim strip absent from the car featured in the Popular Mechanics article below.

1958 M-274A3 Mule Ashland, OH $10,000
Looks like it was nicely restored.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1831185514042591
“Recent complete 200 hour restoration on a M274A3 military mule. For those that don’t know the A3 model is a retrofitted M274 with a 2 cylinder engine replacing the troublesome original 4 cylinder. This is 4 wheel drive like every model of mule and it is a 4 wheel steer model as well. Runs and drives excellently. The hour meter is NOS, but doesn’t work. Currently this has less than an hour on the whole vehicle.
I have listed the new reproduction and New Old Stock parts with the prices for those who do not know that mules are not cheap to restore and they take time to complete. Hence the reason they cost money. Some can not grasp this concept and apparently work for free. I will not answer any “is this still available messages” and I will take the listing down when it is no longer available.

1947 Bantam TC3 Trailer Boise, ID **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Shane is selling this Bantam trailer with what he says are original wood bows and canvas.
“1947 Bantam T3-C Jeep Trailer. Everything Original other than repainted 35 years ago. Excellent condition – two small tears in the tarp. This trailer has been stored for the past 30 years in a garage – no rust. The tarp is original with the two small noted tears. The bows are all original as well as the lights. I have the original set of tires/rims as well 6.00×16 but am running 6.75×15 currently. Beautiful trailer to pull behind anything with ease – these were civilian versions of the WWII Jeep trailer. “American Central Manufacturing (ACM) supplied tubs and frames to the American Bantam Car Company for the Model T3 and also to Willys Overland Motors Inc for the Model MB-T who were both under contract during WWII to produce 1/4 ton amphibious trailers (this trailer is not – has the fold-down tailgate) and kept parts interchangeable between the two models. Through military records we can determine how many amphibious trailers were built and when, but there currently is not any known “Official” civilian production records. Civilian trailers were noted at T3-C.””
