The seller does a good job of describing this rolling chassis.

“First and foremost, this Jeep has a normal, CLEAN TITLE. No data plates are included though (the previous owner couldn’t locate them). But if you want data plates, reproductions are readily available and you stamp the serial number from the title on them. I purchased this a few weeks ago for some parts I needed for my ’46 restoration, and this is the culmination of parts that I don’t need or have extras of. The frame is solid with no major rust areas, but the front frame horn area (forward of the front crossmember) will either need some work to straighten them out or replacement. The rear axle is the original D41, and the front axle is a D25 from a WWII Ford GPW. (The front axle might be worth a bit if you can find someone restoring a GPW). This Jeep might be a bit much to consider using as a base for a full restoration, but would be PERFECT for a crawler build! Here’s a few more specifics:

Tub: Pretty decent shape (actually, it’s in MUCH better shape than my ’46), but someone has deleted the tailgate area and welded a steel panel in its place. They did a pretty decent job of it too. It looks good, but I want a tailgate. If it hadn’t been for this modification, I’d be keeping this tub. The hat channels underneath are in pretty good shape as well (considering it’s a 64 year old Jeep). The front floor has been covered in fiberglass. The rear floor is in pretty solid shape with one area that needs some patching. Wheelhouses look great. Dash panel looks very good with only a few “bubba holes.”

Windshield Frame: Originally from a military (Korean War era) M38. These are somewhat desirable for their one-piece (and much larger) glass (no glass is present though). Still has the original OD green paint underneath the white.

Hood: Has been repaired in the past (welded down the middle seam). They didn’t do a very good job of it, but it looks repairable.

Fenders: A few extra holes here an there (like the common practice of installing a second pair of hold-downs at the rear of the fender), but in good shape.

Wheels/Tires: Mismatched set, but they do hold air; will serve well as rollers, but I wouldn’t try and drive on them.

Drivetrain: NO ENGINE, TRANSMISSION OR TRANSFER CASE INCLUDED. For those that want to attempt an original-ish restoration, I can sell them a L134 engine, T90 transmission and D18 transfer case in rebuildable condition for an additional $250. The engine has been sitting a while, but I pulled the oil pan and everything looks great; turns over freely. Hell, it may even start right up; who knows.”

(06/30/2012) Rolling Chassis.  It has full floaters, but tough to tell from the pics if the frame/rear is civilian or military.

“Rolling chassie with body…
NO engine, has trans and transfer case, full floating axles
the dash is there with gauges but the glass is cracked, no seats
the windshield frame is complete, but the glass is busted and the hinges are rough
only real rust is on the bottom of the tool box on the passenger side

fenders are straight, its pretty much all there except the engine…even the shift pattern plaques for the trans and t case are on the dash!!”

UPDATE:  This was on eBay.  Now on Craigslist.

(09/27/2012) This has a few unusual features.  Check out the direction of the claws under the rear bumper.  Those could cause some problems on difficult terrain.  It also has some neat windshield clamps. I suspect the seller means ‘muncie’ 4 speed and not ‘monkey’ 4 speed. There are many pics of this on eBay.
