1960 Truck Driller Perryville, MO **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Willys Trucks This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.

At first I thought this might be a Jeep-A-Drill setup, but if it is, it’s a stronger built, later version.

“1960 Willys Jeep Truck, 302 conversion, engine does not run. Original transmission, transfer case & differentials. Purchased new by DOT for core sample boring. Boring rig, bits and pump are on truck. Glass is fair, body is decent shape without large rusted areas. Frame is rusted. Clear Missouri title. Please do not text or email, call only.”

Everything on this Willys is in working order. It is road worthy with a good, clean Pennsylvania title, registration and antique license plates. This vehicle has always been kept in a garage and all aspects of this vehicle are in good or better than good condition except for, the body which needs work (There’s rust in the usual places) and it needs a new fly-wheel which I’ve purchased but not installed.

I purchased the Willys in January 2013 from the estate of its original owner. The original owner’s primary use was to plow his home and business driveways. My primary use was to plow my camp driveway and to pull a 700-pound Disc Harrow and Cultipacker combination unit to plant food plots for hunting. Because of how well this Willys operates I believe it has very low miles on it. The odometer has less than 16,000 miles but, the estate of the original owner wasn’t in a position to certify the mileage on their title transfer.

To my knowledge everything on this Willys is original except for the new parts I installed, which are:

2013: Front & rear brake cylinders, Pinion oil seal, Ignition switch, Muffler & Tail pipe, Tailgate Chains, Gasket set with oil seals, Rebuilt snow plow hydraulic pump, Suspension overhaul – leaf springs, shock absorbers, shackles, bushings, greaseable pivot eye bolts, & U-bolts.

2014: Roll Bar, Bikini Top, Rebuilt & Reupholster original Seats.

2016: Battery cables, Carburetor Rebuild Kit, 4 new 235/75R15 radial MT mud tires.

The Price includes: Door frames (soft covered doors), Frame for soft top, Myers Snow Plow, and Spare parts.”

I like this brochure. It includes some nice visuals of the Canfield Wrecker stowed in the back of the truck and jeep.

1948 CJ-3B Auburn, WA $5900

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

UPDATE: Still Available. 

I suspect this is a 1948 CJ-2A with a 3B fiberglass body. It appears to be a Bobcat body based on the wide rim around the edge. Could be a good price.

“Willys high hood. Fiberglass tub and hood. Steel fenders, grille, and windshield frame. New gunmetal pearl paint. Buick 231 v6 with edelbrock carb and intake manifold. 3 speed transmission. Warn overdrive. Front disc brakes. Aluminum radiator. New seats. Soft with 1 small tear in back. 33’s with a lot of tread. Overall pretty nice rig.”

1943 GPW Chassis Rexburg, ID **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1750.

This looks like a good price.

“(If you’re interested in this please call and leave a voice mail message with your name and location. I’ll call you back. Sorry, I don’t reply to texts. Thanks!)

Ford and Willys made WW2 Jeeps for the military. All parts were interchangeable. This is a Ford “GPW” chassis and has many Ford “F” script marks on it.
It has been sandblasted, primed and painted. It is clean and straight with no modifications.

The rectangular plate on top of the frame crossmember in front of the rear axle is the machine gun mount. All WW2 Jeeps came equipped with this mount.

I built it as a display to show “The Parts That Make A WW2 Jeep Go”. Many of the parts are numbered, a sign next to the display describes the parts. I also marked some of the “F” script marks with orange paint. It’s currently at a museum in Rexburg.

Use it as a display, as a great start to your WW2 Jeep project or as a replacement for your bent, rusted and modified frame.

The $1750 price is for the rolling chassis only. The engine, transmission and transfer case are not included in this price.

The price including engine, transmission and transfer case is $2500. The transmission and transfer case are Ford GPW, the engine is a later Willys Jeep engine, probably from the late ’40’s to early ’50’s. Engine, trans and transfer do not work and will need to be rebuilt.

No title, bill of sale only.
I can transport as far as Bozeman, Jackson Hole, Ogden or Twin Falls”
