This is another CJ-5/CJ-3A combined body.

“1949 Willy Jeep CJ3A body mounted on a 1955 CJ5 frame. It has a 225-V6 with a 3spd Transmission. The front axle is a Dana 27 and the rear axle is a Dana 44. The frame is perfect and the body is good. This is a project vehicle and currently does not run or drive. It’s been in dry storage since 1980. All of the major parts are there to complete. If your looking for a Jeep project this is a great opportunity. ”

1942 War Department Film — Jeeps Towing Trailers

Lots of jeep action. They drive the jeeps pretty hear near the end. At about the 8:30 mark there some hard driving video. The jeeps were bouncing pretty hard!

From archive.org: “Not the greatest film quality. National Archives description: “A 4.2″ mortar fires high explosive and phosphorus shells which explode on targets. Transportation of mortar and ammunition in large truck (10 men-10 rounds) is compared with that of a jeep towing a trailer bearing a mortar and ammunition (2 jeeps-6 men-48 rounds). Jeep and trailer units are tested at various speeds and on all types of terrain, fire mortars from barge landing craft as an island is approached, drive off barge, and are freed from ditches and other obstacles by their crews.”

The Naming of Jeep Chee

This 1955 July Willys News article highlights the naming of a Navajo baby named Jeep Chee. My attempts to learn more about Jeep Chee weren’t very successful. I did find this odd movie script. There is a more extensive article about Gwen and Marvin Walter in the July 1958 issue of Desert Magazine.

KSAL CJ-2A Lives

UPDATE: This jeep kicked off a parade in Sante Fe, Kansas, this weekend.

(03/02/2015) Tom Pestinger restored this former KSAL radio station jeep. The station owned the jeep for decades, but it had deteriorated by the time Tom purchased it. The restoration took several years, but it looks to have been worth it. You can read the whole story at the KSAL website.

“One of a kind ex show truck. Chop top, sedan delivery, Vista Cruiser wagon roof, tubbed rear with a nine inch Ford. One very cool piece of vintage memorabilia. At one time this truck was a show winning street beast. It sat neglected for years and now needs a total redo. It has rust, especially on the passenger side fender and hood. I have a very nice hood and perfect fender to go with it. The only parts I don’t have is a decent passenger door bottom and rocker. These can be built or bought. I also have a very clean stock Willys dash for it. Continue reading →
