UPDATE:**Status Unknown** Was $500. Note the hood looks like a teardrop Bobcat style.
Except for the dash, the body looks good. This is the third Parkette body I’ve seen in Georgia.
“Its 1946 frame with a 1964 fiber glass body on it. It has been painted with truck bed liner I have a tranny and transfer case that is good. The body’s in good shape its has a few places where the fiberglass has spider webbing. It has a few parts that come with it. I got in on trade just putting it on here to see what else is out there trades are welcome.”

1951 M-38 Wyalusing, PA eBay
UPDATE: This is back on eBay
(12/20/2012) It’s rough.
“1951 Willys M-38. Runs, drives. Holds antifreeze, 40# oil pressure. Has no brakes.
Body is very repairable, Exterior and floors have some rust through. NOT terminal by any means!
I’m not sure the motor is original military, but it is an L-134. There is no S.N. on the front of the motor.
Mileage is unkown, gauges are broken
I think the hood and grill are civilian. I have an M38 grill that will go with the Jeep.
The top is a military aluminum ” Arctic Top”.
Frame and running gear are military.
Clean Pennsylvania title in my name.
Jeep must be picked up or you arrange shipping.”

I created a post with a list of wiring schematics, but it was deleted somehow. This page provides a temporarily replacement. I’m sure I had links to where I found these, but I will have to relocate them.

Check out the unusual set up on the back of the green CJ-3B. Does that jeep have a rack over the top, too? This postcard shows at least 6 jeeps.

Jenny the Jeep Book by Jack Townend on eBay
I’ve never heard of this book. Jack Townend wrote a variety of children’s stories.
“FOR SALE IS A VERY RARE HOMEFRONT CHILDS BOOK FROM THE WW2 ERA.
IT IS ENTITLED; ‘JENNY THE JEEP’ BY JACK TOWNEND PUBLISHED BY FABER & FABER, LONDON.
THE BOOK HAS THICK CARD COVERS WHICH ARE VERY COLOURFUL.
THERE ARE BLACK AND WHITE AND COLOURED ILLUSTRATIONS INSIDE WHICH ARE REALY BEAUTIFUL AND VERY EVOCATIVE OF THE TIME. THE BOOK MEASURES APPROX JUST UNDER 8 3/3 INS WIDE BY APPROX JUST OVER 5 INS TALL.
THE STORY CENTRES AROUND A JEEP CALLED JENNY WHO WAS MADE IN THE COLOUR PINK INSTEAD OF GREEN AND ALL THE OTHER JEEPS DIDN’T LIKE HER! THEN ONE DAY ALL THE JEEPS SET OF FOR ITALY AND ALL THE GREEN JEEPS TRIED TO STOP JENNY FROM GETTING ON THE SHIP BUT SHE MADE IT. JENNY MANAGES TO PULL A TREE TRUNK OUT OF THE WAY FOR THE SOLDIERS AND IS HAILED AS THE ‘QUEEN OF THE JEEPS’ AND IS ALLOWED TO GO IN FIRST POSITION! AFTER THE WAR THE JEEPS ARE TO BE SOLD AND JENNY IS CHOSEN BY AN ITALIAN MAN TO BE AN ICE CREAM CART, WHICH SHE IS VERY HAPPY ABOUT!
THIS IS A LOVELY STORY AND WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE ENTERTAINED CHILDREN DURING THE DARK DAYS OF WW2.”
