“In the interest of transparency, this is a resto mod, Jeep salad. If you are looking for an original, turn away. If you are looking for a well crafted reliable driver – well this may be for you.

The specs…..as best I can remember them:

1946 column shift tub. ACM is still present. Period correct tailgate with ACM as well.
1953 CJ3B chassis – fully blasted, boxed in critical places
D 25 front with 78 CJ bolt on caliper disc brakes. High steer tie rod flip set up. All new pretty much everything.
D44 rear – just built. Full floater early Warn kit. Disc brakes as well. Lock-rite locker. New.
D18 – later model 29 tooth with 1 1/4 shaft. Period correct Warn OD
Low miles L-head with a Scout Pilot top of the line carb and filter
Saginaw power steering conversion
12 volt conversion.
New clutch, resurfaced wheel, etc. All new.
Herm dual master. In fact every brake component is new. No really – every single part.
Beachwood canvas seats and tailgate chain covers. Custom matching covers in the trailer.
six new Swamper radials – 31×9.5. 1/2 tread spare on matching wheel
Body is all redone – no hidden surprises. See the build thread. Pasture green.
1951 Bantam-esque trailer. We never could determine the pedigree of this trailer. But nonetheless – completely redone with a custom tailgate added.
Tons of custom and uniquely tasteful mods – too many to list. “

Austin Champ Fire Fly Engines

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

As I’ve mentioned, I once made the ‘mistake’ of buying three Austin Champ fixer-uppers to save them from being crushed. Despite that experience, I joined the Austin Champ group, as sometimes I find Champs for sale and post the links on the site.

The other day someone posted a 1955 ad for the Champ Firefly, which was a type of fire engine built on the Champ chassis. I’d never heard of them, so thought folks might find these ads interesting.

Here’s a an actual Austin Champ NSL 418 Firefly Fire Engine:

The next three ads were all listed on this site: https://www.aviationancestry.co.uk/?searchQuery=Fire+Armour&startYear=1909&endYear=1980

The first two ads, from 1954, are for Champ Firefly Airfield Crash Trucks:

This 1955 ad is for Fire-fighting. I’ve yet to see pics of one of these restored.1955-austin-champ-rapid-rescue-ad

Early MB Tub? Toughkenamon, PA $1200

• CATEGORIES: Parts • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Steve spotted this tub. It looks to me to be a glovebox-less MB slat grille tub to which someone has added a funky cowl lid. Thoughts?

“I’m honestly not sure what this is. I have been told its an uncommon 1940’s Willy’s jeep tub. condition is rough but its fixable. the serial number is broken in the middle. it says: 1—40. no shipping/deliveries. no glove box, no front fenders, no back storage doors. probably needs new floor. if more pictures are needed let me know.”
