“If I sell it, I will take the ad down. I am dropping the price to $1,500 and I won’t go any lower. Someone come pick it up.

1948 Willys Jeep. This jeep is all original and has been sitting for over 10 years. It does not run. It needs a lot of work but the body is in good shape. It does have some rust in spots especially the floor boards and tailgate. I know it needs a new fuel tank and all new fluids. I installed new 31×10.50 bf Goodrich all terrain tires on it 2 months ago. I would love to fix it up as planned but just don’t have the time anymore. I need it gone asap. Make me an offer. Asking $2,500 obo. NO TITLE! I do have the original VIN tag and it will come with a bill of sale.”

1943 GPW Aurora, OH **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB) This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.

I can’t tell how much value is here, but it does look to have a GPW body (albeit with a cut tailgate area).

“Purchased this in Alabama, the same day I found a vintage Honda in Florida i had to have. I don’t have room for both so this has to go. I have an m38 diesel project I’m trying to finish so I need the space. No title”

Nate’s Willys Electric Light Plant

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

A few months ago Nate shared a few pics of a Willys Electric Light Plant. Below are a few more. He has even more pics and info on the earlyCJ-5 page: http://www.earlycj5.com/xf_cj5/index.php?threads/151693/

For those going to the Willys Picnic this year, it sounds like he will be bringing it along (June 12th Kempton, PA).

Automatic Transmission in DJ-3As, DJs and Others(?)

• CATEGORIES: DJ-3A, Features, FJ This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Dave asked me about the type of adapter used on DJ-3As and FJs to connect an automatic transmission (which may have been the Borg Warner model 12 according to David Sapp mentioned in his comment to this post, though I have no documented evidence of this, but it should be out there somewhere). Essentially, a adapter plate is bolted to the back of an L-head/F-head engine, to which the transmission bell housing attaches.

After some searching, Dave spotted the adapter in an FJ supplement book. Here are the pics.

Meanwhile, a discussion from 2012 on the topic of DJ-3A automatic transmissions yielded these pics showing a BW transmission connected to an L-head with a similar looking plate.

As for the rare shifter that’s been captured in some pics, this pic is the best I have (from a DJ-3A automatic). It confirms Barry Goodwin’s comment on another post that the transmission lacked a “Park” feature. Instead, the driver would put it in neutral when parking (and I assume pull the parking brake).

If anyone has a document that confirms it was the M-12 BW transmission that was used, or has more pics or is aware of other useful discussions on this topic, please let me know. There isn’t much info about these setups on the web.

FYI: Based on my research, it appears the Willys Aero cars of the 1950s used a GM Hydramatic rather than a BW transmission.

Year? CJ-3A? Peyton, CO $10,000

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Listed as a 1948 and described as a CJ-2A, this seems closer to a CJ-3A.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1064182851103799

“I have an old Willys flat fender jeep available for sale. This is not a true military jeep, just a CJ2A it was done up to look like one. It does run and drive but it will need a throw out bearing and new brakes. I purchased it from an estate, the gentleman who built this put a lot of time and love into it. No, the machine gun is not real. It does come with all the accoutrements pictured though.  Bill of sale only but I can assist you with obtaining a title”
