Anyone Recognize this Seat?

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

Dave’s been trying to figure out some wagon seats he has, but he’s got one seat that he can’t identify (he isn’t sure it belongs to a wagon).

He writes, “I do have one seat that I don’t know about.
Thinking it’s a jeep seat as I got with other jeep stuff but that’s no guarantee.
32” wide. Non folding. Some of original brackets cut.
Believe that part of rear bracket is original. Threaded holes into uprights.”

Here are some pics:

Meanwhile, Dave was investigating wagon seat differences in general. Neither of us could locate a good source of information on the differences through the years. However, using some of his wagons, he was able to surmise the following. Can anyone provide additional details on the seat differences or point to a good source??:

Per Dave, “Drivers seats are approximately 32” wide, on sliders. Early wagons did not fold (I only have a ’49 with which to compare). Some slightly later wagons driver seats do fold, but I don’t know when that stopped.

Passenger seat seems fairly consistent all throughout, about 15″ wide, long legs fold and tumble. Intermediate or rear narrow seats also about 15” wide, shorter legs fold and tumble.

Wide rear or intermediate seats as stated in parts book, 25” wide. Early ones were non folding, rear legs stab into floor brackets. Maybe also before mounting change became folding. Later fold and tumble.”

1960? DJ-5? Victoria, TX $10,000

• CATEGORIES: DJ-5 & DJ-6 • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This rear-wheel-drive build is interesting. It’s listed as a 1960 DJ-5 but those weren’t built until 1966 (it also lacks the faux battery box lid of a 1960 body). The fenders are later than 1960, too. The half top is one of the nicer ones I’ve seen, but I don’t recognize the model. The engine sounds like it would work well. The work n the jeep looks well done.

1952? M-38A1? Livingston, TX $6950

• CATEGORIES: CJ5, M-38A1 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

For the price, this could be worth a look. Though listed as a 1952 M-38A1, the body and front clip look like they are from a CJ-5 (except for the fact that there is no “JEEP” stamped into the cowl.

1946? Lefty? CJ-2A Omaha, NE $4000

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

It’s listed as a 1946, but has a later grille and driver’s side spare tire holes, so it may be a 1948 Lefty.

“Here is one neat Jeep. This is a CJ-3B that someone did some nice upgrades too. Originally it would have had a F-Head four cylinder in it. Now the Jeep has a strong running 225 Dauntless V6 that offers the perfect amount of power and torque. It fits the Jeep well. Jeep did use these motors from the mid to late 60’s. They’re great!

Power steering was added and a tilt steering column. The Jeep also and a full roll cage and updated fuse block.

The Jeep is fun! It also has a full soft top and soft doors, winch bumper and a small lift. The body is solid….not all rusted out. The dash has a nice well done gauge cluster and rocker switch panel. The brakes pull a bit if you hit them hard.

Its a great Jeep for running around the ranch, beach, neighborhood etc. Its a clear title, Jeep is located in San Antonio Texas. Thanks”
