Builds: Ron nabs a Craigslist Find

A reader named Ron wrote me the other day.  He spotted a great deal on a restorable truck at a great price and now has a website with pics of the early work (I’ve included a couple pics below).  Click on the photogallery to see all the pics. Ron already has a 1971 CJ-5 and his son a 84 CJ-8;  you can see pics of those vehicles in the photogallery as well. Congrats on the find and good luck with the rebuild!

Ron writes, “We are in the middle of the off frame restoration of the 61 Willys. It was purchased new in 61 by a lady with a farm in Connecticut. She ordered it with a snow plow and a hydraulic dump bed. It only has 22,000 miles. I bought it from her grandson.”

Here’s the truck before restoration.  It looks like a good starting point.

Here’s a look at how the rear of the dump bed frame looks.

And here’s a closeup of the dump mechanism.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $200.

Looks like it has a PTO winch.

“I have an old willys jeep that was going to be a project for the hunting lease that never got started. So with to many projects and not enough time it has to go. I do not have the tittle for it the motor and trans where gone when I got it. Body is very rusty started to remove front clip to install and engine but never finished. Green grille was purchased to replace the yellow one. Axles are original and frame looks solid.”

Year? CJ-2A Parts Vehicle Auburn, Ca $700

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

UPDATE:  Still Available

(11/04/2010) It’s a project.

“Maroon 1946 or so CJ-2a rolling vehicle. Comes with F-head motor, not a flathead, and f-head 134 four cylinder. I have the original trans and trans-case installed, with original axles. It has a windshield frame, no glass. There are two seats in reasonably good shape in the jeep. Lots and lots of misc. spare parts- clutch, brake, generators, oil filters, etc. I have a t-90 transmission also available if you want it. The tires are new firestone radial mud and snow-oldie style, which would really look right on a stock rebuild of a jeep or willys wagon. The chrome wheels are not what I would have on a jeep, but the tire/wheel comb is holding air without leaks for a year now. The two front fenders are in need of some patch/repair work, but are repairable. The whole body has been smoothed over with bondo. The maroon hood is complete, I have another hood which was skinned over with sheet aluminum and has a hole in the top for f-head conversion or tall v-8 air cleaner. Second pile of parts is a wrangler chassis-all boxed- with a cj-5 rear tub only. It has a GM 4.3 marine engine mounted in place. Asking 200 for this green pile.There is NO paperwork on these piles of parts, just a handwritten bill of sale from me. Calls ONLY @ 530-906-1797 ask for Mark. Thanks.”

1958 CJ-5 Delaware $1895

The price might be good on this.  I can’t tell if there’s rust across the rear bottom of the windshield or if that’s just an illusion.

“runs good needs some brake work 68000 original miles 4 wheel drive works im third owner of the jeep as told to me by the first owner has some body rust but still looks good also has a small black top that is much better looking more pictures available.”
