Two Die-Cut Warn Hub Brochures Compared

Barney sent me a Warn Locking Hub brochure which turns out to be a match for a similar Warn Lockomatic Hub brochure I already had. These are rather small (about 4″ in diameter), so I’m surprised either one survived as well as they have.

One thing that’s evident from these brochures is that the Lockmatic hubs lacked the rings (or perhaps indents or groves are better terms) on the lower portion of the hub that the Locking Hubs had.

This photo shows the fronts:

UPDATE: Mark shared a link to a “Reparto Celere” model jeep: https://www.carmodel.com/edicola/itapolc052/1-43/jeep/willys-reparto-celere-polizia-1945/63694

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

Original Post: A December 12, 1947, article in the Austin American-Statesman showed an image of an Italian “Police Squad” jeep breaking up a crowd. The phrase “Reparto Celere” translates to Express Department in English, but I doubt that’s a correct interpretation.

(09/22/2020) This 2A has a replacement body, which is probably why the seller refers to it as an M-38. Has lots of good updates for jeeping.

“Selling a 79 Jeep DJ5 postal Jeep with a Chevy 283 V8 and Powerglide transmission. Jeep runs and drives, clean title in hand. Steering wheel is on the right hand side. Heater works. Has upgraded trans crossmember, aftermarket engine cradle, new transmission pan with stud kit, new oil pump, odyssey battery, new fuel pump, and exhaust done all in the last year. All tail lights, side markers, reflectors, mirrors, and door seals have been replaced. Strobe light on top works. I put down the mileage that’s on the odometer since the ad requires it, but the speedometer isn’t hooked up and the engine isn’t original to the Jeep so the mileage is unknown. Continue reading →

Looks in good shape.

“This amphibious 4 wheeler is a rare find in excellent condition. Created back in the 60’s with articulating tubs the Coot is able to climb over most anything. Used for hunting, feeding livestock and for puttering around in the water ( has the capability to add a propeller) it was state of the art in it’s time. Includes headlights,taillights and winch. The tires are literally brand new. Powered by a Honda engine. We have sold our rural property and no longer have a use for this awesome little vehicle. Time for someone new to enjoy her.”

“This is a 1943 Ford GPW. Ford made about 2 out of ever 5 Jeeps during World War 2. This jeep is about 90-95% original and is ready to be restored. It still has the original Go-Devil 4 cylinder engine. Three of the rims are the 2 piece battle rims. The body is decent. This jeep ran when it was parked some 15 years ago. Also included is a 1942 Willy’s jeep trailer. I’m putting this out there to see what kind of interest there is. If you do not like my asking price make me an offer.”
