It’s been roughed up a bit, but runs.

“1954 Willys Jeep M170 which is the military vehicle that inspired the CJ-6/Scrambler/Unlimited. It is an M38A1 stretched at the factory 20″ with about a 101″ wheelbase. This particular one appears to be USMC used for mobile radio rather than ambulance, but it has some of the ambulance features like holes in the tailgate and flip passenger seat. The M170 is a pretty rare Jeep as they only made a little over 6000 of them.

It has a good running F-Head 134 Huricane, T-90 3 speed manual, Dana 18 transfer case, original driveshafts and stock axles front and rear with 5.38s. I need to look again, but I think the front is a Dana 25 and rear Dana 44. Transmission is currently not installed and the engine is not currently wired/plumbed, just bolted in place, but I have driven them and they worked fine for me.

Some signs of body work/dents around the drivers door, hood and cowl. The fenders are rough, but they would work if you cut them for tire clearance. Other than that, amazingly rust free for the age including all the various storage boxes this model has.

Comes with a tow bar.”

“For your consideration a nice condition and very rare Willys m170 USMC radio truck.
This is very similar to the more common M170 ambulance but instead of outfitted with stretchers, Was used to carry radio gear. This is a particularly rare bird because it is a later production model from 1963 ….basically almost 6 years later than standard production of the m170 was stopped

I don’t know much about the history of this vehicle in the service but there are a few sources online where one could study about them and the rarity of it.

This particular unit is in nice shape and has been mildly restored from an original unrusted example.

1952? M-170 Zimmerman, MN **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: M-170 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9000.

(04/25/2019) This doesn’t have the correct grille or fenders for a 1952. It’s missing a few other stock parts, too.

“willy m170 jeep. The jeep runs and drives good! 4wd and the high and low both work as well. The jeep has been converted to 12 volt system. New alternator and carburetor. The paint color is olive drab and is in overall good condition. The jeep does have a blue vin tag issued by the state because the Vin numbers were not able to be found. I am selling this because I am a college student and don’t have the time to appreciate the vehicle.”

1952/53 M-170 Bakersfield, CA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: M-170 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This M-170 has been modified, but there’s enough left to suggest it’s a 1952 or early 1953 M-170.

“I was told this is a 53 or 54 Willys. I don’t know if this is a CJ2A or not. Story I got was it was used in the 70’s to deliver mail in one of our mountain communities and then parked in the 80’s. Carb is gone so so way to try and start. Some rust spots. Motor is supposed to be a 327 Chevy. Not sure about the transmission or transfer case. Axles look stock. No title, just a bill of sale.”

“I have a cj6 or possibly modified m170 tub for sale … Basically a cj5 but 20 inches longer so it would be a great start to a jeep with more room for gear or people or both , plus way more stable on and off road… I have had it for about 7 years and had every intention of building it as I have loved the old cj’s forever but wanted more room for tools and camping gear.

I bought it right after my first kid was born and thought it would make a great family jeep and was going to take the drive train from my other old cj to build it… Sadly after the frame was stolen from my back yard, I put the project on hold and frankly waited too long because now my kids just want to go out in the other jeep so I don’t want to take it apart to build the cj6… It’s got some rust and some dings but its pretty solid…
