UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600

(06/30/2012) Rolling Chassis.  It has full floaters, but tough to tell from the pics if the frame/rear is civilian or military.

“Rolling chassie with body…
NO engine, has trans and transfer case, full floating axles
the dash is there with gauges but the glass is cracked, no seats
the windshield frame is complete, but the glass is busted and the hinges are rough
only real rust is on the bottom of the tool box on the passenger side

fenders are straight, its pretty much all there except the engine…even the shift pattern plaques for the trans and t case are on the dash!!”

1958 DJ-3A Lake George, CO **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

Based on the Serial Number this is technically a 1958.  You can follow the discussion here and here.

It doesn’t run at the moment.

“We have a 1957 Jeep Willys (Kaiser) DJ-2A Flathead 2WD in our barn. We are evaluating what to do with it but we are not interested in fixing it up. It has all the parts and was running (driven into the garage) but it is rough. We want to sell it but do not want to chop it up or part it out because it was running when we drove it into the barn about 4 years ago.”

Ann and I arrived safely in Pasco after a sunny/rainy/snowy/windy day driving through the panhandle of Idaho, then west to Pasco. We spotted and photographed a couple jeeps, ate some good food and visited with family; so it was a complete day!

More tomorrow on this possible CJ-2L Bruce spotted. Note rare Desert Dog PCV tires (not that they are in good shape).  They have a tighter tread than the standard Desert Dog tires.

The Four Wheel Steer Bantam in Pop Mechanics

I spotted this brief note about the four-wheel-steer Bantam BRC-40 on page 167 of the May 1946 issue of Popular Mechanics.  Why it appeared five years after it was built seems a little strange.  I can’t imagine the army keeping this model top secret for any reason.  Maybe they needed some filler for the issue?

Here is a link to the Google page that shows the whole article
