1962 CJ-3B Smithfield, ME **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3B • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200. 

“1962 Willys CJ3B Jeep equipped with an early edition Fisher Snowplow. The plow tag reads “CAMDEN, Maine” rather than “Rockland, Maine” . This complete Jeep I used many years ago to plow, has sat neglected in my storage lot as a parts backup for my other CJ3B which recently sold. No parts were removed, but has not been started in 5 years. The body has much rust, the motor ran and drivetrain worked OK. NO BRAKES!! A very hard-to-find Jeep HY-LO hydraulic pump is used to lift the plow. If you are looking for a complete, very stock, high hood CJ3B, bring a trailer and winch, I need it gone. I can deliver, finance, maybe partial trade Willys, Aero, Mercury, Power King, Car Trailer, Hunting Item, or Try Me. Email for details or phone contact.”

JeepKing Hardtops

Another interesting item in the 1957 Berg’s Truck and Parts Co (Aka the King of Jeeps) Catalog was this “Jeep King” hardtop advertisement, for both half and full-size tops. It looks like it’s a private branding of the Beck (or Kemco) Jeep Cabs, because the door has the split window. As far as I know, that wasn’t available on the Kelly hardtops manufactured by Kelly Manufacturing (which is the company Kemco became).Also, the Kemco had the small window on the half cab, as does the Jeepking half cab.

Muller Top Upland, CA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $380. I’ve contacted the seller and explained what he had (apparently, someone else had called him, too). He’d like to find this a good home. 

(08/02/2018) This is likely the only Muller top to be found that’s not installed on a jeep (See the directions for making a Muller top here). It’s a great piece of history.

“Selling a hard/soft top for a M-38 CJ-3A or Dispatcher Jeep. I’ve never seen another top like this one before. My dad bought this over 30 yrs ago to put on his flatfender. But it never was installed. And now I own the Jeep but it won’t fit over the cage. It’s got a metal/wood frame it looks like a soft top from the outside but is full framed with a headliner. The doors and side,rear windows all store in a compartment inside the roof . No tears or rust it’s dirty but it’s been stored indoor’s as long as we’ve owned it. I’m running out of room so it’s up for sale”

1945 GPW Arcata, CA eBay

• CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB) • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Mike shared this interested GPW build. It was a former Navy Sea Bee Jeep.

View all the information on eBay

“1945 Ford MB GPW. Originally a Navy Sea Bee Jeep. Near new exterior paint. Chassis upgrade with 302 Ford V8, 4-speed transmission, 1980 front and rear differentials, Transfer case with upgraded Advanced Adapter heavy duty rear output housing. Front Disc Brakes, power steering. 302 Engine was professionally rebuilt and is balanced. New Holley 2-barrel carburetor with manual choke. Mallory Unilite Ignition with high voltage coil. Full roll bar.

Hardtop is an 1950s Koenig Iron Works piece. All metal with roll up windows, rear side sliders and standard rear door, doors have locks. Can be removed and I have a bikini top included. Has the correct shovel and ax, heavy duty rear rack and tire mount. Near new tires. Electric wiper. Project was completed around 3 years ago and driven limited times on weekends. Plenty of fun. Has a few minor issues: fuel gauge inaccurate, LED odometer reads intermittent but keeps track fine. Speedometer works great and is accurate. Drives great at freeway speeds as well as off roading fun.”
