Fleetvan FJ Info Wanted

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

Ron forwarded this ad. Gary is looking for booklets, information, and spare parts for FJs.

“I am interested in buying information on Jeep FleetVans both FJ3 postal van and FJ3-A Commercial van.  Highway Products Company in Kent Ohio built and assembled the bodies for Jeep for the Post Office Delivery “FleetVans” from 1960-1966 +-
If you or a family member worked there and have any pictures, history, parts, blueprints, records from that time; please get in touch with me. I will be glad to buy originals or copies. The history on this vehicle is sparse; I’d like to improve that.
Also I am interested in buying parts or complete vehicles.”

I ran across this article about Ernie Pyle and his experience in Paris in 1944. I’ve posted it below. The photo is from Paris, but not of Ernie Pyle.

1950 Flattie Klamath Area, OR $40,000

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

The seller seems to be listed in the Klamath, Oregon, area, but is listing the jeep in California (probably due to the price). Looks like a nice rig. The jeep looks familiar, but I couldn’t find it in my archives.

“Registered as a 1950 Ford but is actually an early 1940’s. It has been painstakingly rebuilt from the body up by owner. Updated axles, transmission and engine. Too many upgrades to list but will answer any questions when you call.

Asking $40,000 since owner currently has $50,000 invested. Less than 1,000 miles since completion of rebuild.

Please contact me if you have any questions or would like any further information.”

Just A Few Updates

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

No updates today, but I did recycle a few old posts below. Ann’s grandfather passed away a couple days ago and his funeral was yesterday (lots of family in town last night). He lived a full life, so more relief than sadness that his suffering is no more.
