1954 CJ-3B San Marcos, CA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $22,500.

This has a variety of updates.

“I have owned this Willy’s since 1962. It is a unique piece of history. Powered by a 350 Chevy, Muncie M-20 four speed, Camaro Steering, front disc brakes, 11 1/2 inch mercury brakes on the rear. All the wiring is redone and everything works as it should. This Willy’s runs and sounds great, and very powerful. You have to see it to appreciate the time and care given to this vehicle. This willy’s turns heads where ever it goes. It has a Koenig 100 power take off winch that has been on the car from the beginning. Vintage KC lights. Full skid plate. New gauges. Just a one of a kind classic car. The only thing that is not operable is the e-brake”

1946 CJ-2L(?) Yucaipa, CA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This looks to be one of the CJ-2As lengthened out of the Spokane area. This was listed a few days ago on Craigslist (I think for $1800, but I can’t remember exactly). It lacked an engine.

“I have this very rare Willys CJ6 from 1946
Its a project car and the last guy lost interest.
What you see is what you get, engine missing!”

“M274 half ton 4×4 utility platform truck. “Army Mule” Testing the waters here not desperate to sell. About 11,000 made, unknown how many of these military utility ‘s exist? Motor will run but has a bad cylinder and dumps oil fast. This model has the Hercules engine two cylinder. 3speed manual with 2 speed transfer case. If I sell, would like it to go to someone interested in its restoration. This was a project my dad never got around to. Body is in pretty good shape. Four wheel steering with full time four wheel drive. Pretty rare ATV that will go anywhere. Popular with ranchers, farmers, hunters, forestry service many possible uses. Not built to be fast or comfortable but extremely durable and reliable. Serious buyers only. Price is firm.”

This Bring-A-Trailer auction for a rare Ford-built M-38CDN was also spotted by Sam.

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1952-jeep-jeep-m38/

“This 1952 Willys M38-CDN Jeep is one of approximately 2,135 units assembled by Ford for the Canadian Armed Forces in the early 1950s, and it is powered by a 2.2-liter inline-four mated to a three-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. The truck was refurbished during prior ownership and used as a museum display for approximately 20 years, and it was acquired by the seller in 2020. The green paintwork is contrasted by a lighter canvas top, and additional features include a fold-down windshield, body-color steel wheels, and reproduction canvas seat covers. The engine was rebuilt in 2020, and the fuel and vacuum pump was replaced in 2021. This Willys Jeep is now offered with accessories, a tool kit, historical literature, and a British Columbia registration document listing the truck as a 1952 Ford Pickup.”

Making Shop Progress II

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

UPDATE: A few more pics .. .made some more progress hanging tools and also built a way simple way to store cans of spray paint. I even cleaned everything out around the race jeep, so it won’t be too long before I can address those spacers again (that should answer your question Mark). Over the next few days I hope to complete the rolling work table (and removed the long narrow table). I’ve also ordered some LED shop lights, which have received favorable reviews on Amazon. I’m hoping them will give better light and be easier to hang than the big florescent ones I already have. I will report on those when I get them.

The tables with the paint on them are the free tables given away by the local high school. I scraped the gum and washed them up. I also painted the legs on two of the tables black, as they were pretty scratched.

Here, I’ve started experimenting with hanging some of the tools. The wrenches on the right are standard, while the ones on the left are metric. The peg board on the left will have wood-working tools for now. We’ll have another load of dad’s (and grandpa’s) tools in a couple weeks, which will add to the boards and the tool boxes.

The race jeep is ready to receive some attention now that it is freed from stuff.

========================

Originally posted August 19, 2021: In between everything else, I’ve been slowly working on my workbenches and places to hang tools, etc. One bench is about 8 ft long and the other 14 ft. They are made almost entirely out of recycled wood and reused screws. Now, I can start hanging tools and organizing the remainder into tool boxes.

My next project is a large, rolling work bench that will be the same height as the work benches. After that, I need to hang some lights over the benches to provide better light. Here’s a quick look.
