1954 M-38A1 Emmett, ID $3800

• CATEGORIES: M-38A1 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Has an overdrive and appears to have some Allstate hubs.

“Great condition Jeep, its a real military model Willies. Original F Head 4 cylinder engine. Runs Excellent, starts excellent, drives excellent. No issues that would keep you from using it as a daily driver if you desired.

A Warn overdrive unit has been added. This allows higher speeds with lower RPM’s. Nice for running down the highway at 55 without the engine screaming at 4,000 RPM’s. Turn signals work. Brakes work. Starts very easy and runs great. Again, no issues at all.

Comes with full removable soft top and doors. Folding windshield mechanism works perfectly.”

Blaine spotted this Spencer trailer. I’m not familiar with the brand. Here’s a bit of history.

“New tags, bearings, and swivel jack. Has been done with bed liner, new wiring, and led lights last year. The lights still need installed. Great trailer.”

There are some neat non-jeep things. Check out all the photos. The wagon might still be pretty solid. I doubt it has run in a while.

FC-170 Wrecker in Sedona

• CATEGORIES: FC150-FC170-M677, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Larry spotted this FC-170. He writes, “We are vacationing in Sedona. There are newer jeeps and jeep tours all over the place so we took one. As we were coming over the hill, there she was, an Fc170 tow truck. It was totally redone and beautiful. The kid in the shop had no idea what it was (some kinda jeep thing). It wasn’t for sale but it was great to see”.

Those familiar with this wrecker recognize it as Wayne Trent’s former FC. You can see some video of it here.

And here’s my photo of it from one of the FC-Roundups in Phoenix.
