UPDATE: CapnJohn obtained the following info related to Selouki:
“We don’t have a photo of the front of this vehicle but this manual covers the Selouki 1/4 Ton Truck model 4WD-25T.This Jeep like vehicle was produced by Highway Products Inc, Kent, Ohio.
Highway Products, Inc., Kent, Ohio was formed by Joseph Thomas ‘Joe’ Myers in 1960 to manufacture truck bodies for specialty markets such as mobile post offices. In addition to mail trucks and mobile post offices the company also manufactured small boats for both military and commercial use, missile launchers and engines. In 1968 Highway Products introduced a 25-passenger bus and sold it under the Twin Coach name. Joe Myers sold the company to Alco Standard in the early 1970s. Alco Standard bought the Cortez Motor Home line of products and manufactured the motor homes in the Kent, OH production facilities of Highway Products. Approximately 900 buses were built under the Twin Coach name when production stopped in October, 1975, due to bankruptcy. Joe Myers also served as the President of the Davey Tree Expert Company and was married to John Davey’s granddaughter, Marilyn Davey.“

Hanging at Herm’s during Sunday’s Swapmeet

I wanted to thank Marty and Herm for sharing some warm and dry space for Sunday’s swap meet in Puyallup, so stop by and say hello. I’ll be more specific about our location after we visit Saturday for the setup.
I’ve got signs, books, and maybe event some t-shirts (if Ann and I can perfect the emulsion process, which is proving slightly problematic). Ann got some shirts and a jacket embroidered for the event, so it will be easy to spot us. I will also have some examples of the Dolan’s posters, too.
Here are our embroidered shirts:

This arrived in my inbox today, so I thought I’d pass it along.
Seeking a 1947 CJ-2A sold in 1996
JJ is looking for the following jeep:
“I bought this 1947 CJ2A in 1996 from a guy named Martel south of Chicago in Palos Park, Illinois for $600 and sold it for $600 in 1997 for $600 to an elderly gent who was from the area east of where I lived in Tinley Park, Illinois. It had been well restored before I owned it but financial problems and mechanical inexperience back then in my misspent youth prevented me from proper upkeep. It was painted a metalflake emerald green and sported a unique front bumper and a vent cover in front of the drivers side on the front panel. I have no record of the serial number from the engine block and it had no title. I was wondering if anyone had seen it? Ever?”

“Willys Jeep CJ-My old 4×4 jeep needs a home with someone that has the time to keep her going. She needs a lot of work and tires and paint but was running when I last started her several years back.
This is the kinda project you can get going and take through the brush without worrying about scratches or dings…it ain’t pretty…it’s a ranch/hunting lease tool.
It’s a project…not something you can take and drive…you’ll have to do some work first. I don’t have the time to keep rebuilding the original carb with it’s leather accelerator pump diaphragm…a smart rebuilder would probably just put a newer carb on it. Needs brakes, seats(frames are there), tires, TLC.
lowballers…forget it…I don’t have to sell…just thought someone else might like a neat toy to play with since I don’t use it any longer.
Will considered trading for semi-auto-legal-modern firearms or real-“Damascus steel/handmade”-samurai swords…partial trades considered ”
1953 CJ-3B Houston, Tx eBay
Here’s a nice CJ-3B. It appears to have a replacement body. It looks nice. I’m surprised the back is solid. It looks like it came that way rather than be a custom job.
“1953 Willys Jeep. It has a new body so there is no rust what-so-ever. Dana 44 front and rear axles. Small block Ford 260. Original 3-speed gearbox. Overdrive. 2 fuel tanks. New top. New custom gauges. Custom wheels. Custom Ranch Hand bumpers front and rear w/tow bar. Locking hubs. Aluminum radiator. Dual exhaust. This thing fires right up and runs perfectly. It’s a no-issue Jeep that doesn’t need a thing.”
