1948? Snow Jeep Truck Thing Hillman, MI $2650

Craig spotted this thing. It is listed as a 1948 jeep, but I doubt there is anything ’48 on it.

“Jeep snowplow truck…well sort of….
Jeep truck cab sitting on a military dump truck frame and military 6×6 wheels. Powered by 455 Olds engine and TH400 trans. Payloader and hi-low counter weights with a forklift mast to raise the 9.5 or 10′ county snow plow. Runs and drives but Dad is 85 years old now and does not need to be climbing in and out of this thing that he built anymore.’

“Gold Plated” Executive Gift **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Features, Models This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Having the box makes this one unique. But, it appears the bumper has been broken.

“Made by Comet for retirement gift for WILLYS OVERLAND EXECUTIVES. This toy is in excellent condition, tires show very little play wear. Hard to find with steering wheel intact. JEEP embossed in tailgate is crisp and clear. “Gold plating” is in great shape with some tarnish that I will leave to the buyer to clean. Only blemish is right front bumper is typically broken. Box is in equally excellent condition. Both have been kept under glass as long as I’ve owned it.”

This photo from the October 1954 issue of Kaiser Willys News got me thinking. Anyone know when the first jeep trenchers were manufactured?
