For the price, this is worth a look. Note it’s got some thru rust on the drivers side.

My guess is that these doors fit a CJ-5 hardtop, but I’m not sure. I am sure I’ve seen this style before, but can’t place them.

“Old doors for the willy. Not sure what model they are from”
It’s got slight damage, but maybe someone can use it?

“One pc front clip for pre 1972 CJ-5. Grill fenders, hood all in one. Good shape not perfect , inner fenders included, comes with hardware to keep the fender tails tightly secured to the cowl. This is the quality thinkness for a driver jeep not the ultra thin racing version.
The new retail price for these is 850$ and that’s without the grill.

This has a GPW tub, along with other updates. This also has the aftermarket angled dash.

The 1963 issue of Jeep News, Volume 9, Number 3, is only eight pages. I was surprised to learn on page one that the Kaiser-Jeep headquarters was established in Oakland; I didn’t know that had happened. Lower down on page one, it was interesting to see that despite the new name (Kaiser-Jeep), dealerships were to be listed under ‘Jeep’ in the “phone book”. For those too young to have used a “phone book”, ask you parents what that strange device was and how it was used (and, while at it, ask them about the Sears Christmas Wish Book, too).
Page two begins with an overview of the Fourth Annual Arizona Jeep Jamboree, sponsored by the Phoenix, Arizona, Jeep Club. I don’t have a sense of how popular this became or when it was halted (I assume it was halted?). Page two also contains a look at some of the upcoming Jeep ads. Page three notes the expanded presence of Kaiser-Jeep at fairs across the country.
Page four highlights dealer issues. Page five reports on the industry recognition Kaiser-Jeep received for the new brochures. Lower down on page five is the story of a Wagoneer climbing Mt. Haleakala in Hawaii. Page eight contains a variety of jeep photos from auto shows around the world. There’s also a photo of an FC-170, truck, and Wagoneer with campers.
This November 1959 Jeep Parts and Service News contains a couple small notes on column shifters. In particular, there were two different steering column assemblies used on the two-wheel-drive jeeps (wagons, sedan deliveries, and DJ-3As). The full assemblies can be swapped, but the parts cannot be swapped.
John shared this modified truck. It includes an overdrive.

“Old backroad truck . 4×4 three speed with overdrive. Not a hot rod or show truck. In-line 6 ford truck engine. Converted to 12 volts. All instruments work. Heater and defrost work.

New carb, fuel pressure regulator and gauge. Electric fuel pump and filter. New aluminum radiator and electric wipers.if it’s posted, it is still available. Will not respond to is it still available.

This may be worth a look.

“The Willy has all parts. It began restoration years ago after a death in the family have decided to move on. We have the engine transmission. Everything don’t have much history on the vehicle other than it’s a very complete not much rust”

“1946 Willy’s have the title, does not run but will move and would make a great project!!”
Thanks to Maury for spotting Nate’s snow video. While he plays in the snow, we are surviving the cold. First, our re-done trough water delivery froze, then our well-water seems to have frozen, which remains a mystery as to why. Anyway, we are dry camping at home for the time being. Temps start trending up today, so hopefully this cold snap will be behind us for the remainder of winter.
At some point in 1963, Jeep News stopped adding a month to the printings, so we must use volume and numbers to delineate the various Jeep News issues. This issues, volume 9, Number 2 in 1963 is eight pages.
Page one has a neat photo of an FC-170 with an extended rear and an extra axle. That looks pretty handy! Page two contains some upcoming ads, along with a nod to some Argentinian jeeps. Page three shares the news of more jeeps in more movies, including “The Nutty Professor”, The Ugly American”, “Donavan’s Reef”, and “My Six Loves”.
Pages four and five contain dealer news. Page six continues the coverage of the Hatari! movie, this time internationally. Page seven shows police and police-dogs lined up in front of DJ-3As purchased by the Philadelphia police. Page eight covers some international updates.
This issue of Jeep Service and Parts News is one of about twenty issues I obtained. This is the earliest one I have. I am unsure when these bulletins began, but given this is volume eight, then this must have started someone around 1953? These likely were tossed or destroyed pretty quickly.
Kaiser-Jeep must have arranged to have this article, originally printed for Four Wheeler Magazine, printed as a stand-alone ad piece for dealers and prospective customers. It’s printed in black and white, rather than color, and is eight pages. The form number is 69-02, suggesting this run was printed in Feb of 1969.
