(11/07/2013)“My 1948 Willy’s Jeep CJ2A Truck needs a good home. I originally got it to restore to it’s original natural beauty, but realized vehicle restorations just aren’t my thing. The body is original and sits on a C-10 frame. It has a 350 engine with a 4×4 that runs like a beast. Don’t’ know how many miles on the engine, but no problems with it. Everything else is solid also. It starts and runs good, plus it just looks really cool. Open to trade offers for other vehicles or bikes, just would like for them to run and safe to drive. ”

As Craig put it when he forwarded me the link, this is FC Gold. Below is a video of an original Swedish Scania Vabis FC-150AM. Learn more about the existing FC-150 AM athttp://www.thefcconnection.com/fc’s_from_norway.htm. Also, look for glimpses of the FC Minibus as well.

As you watch the video, you’ll be able to view the point at which this photo was taken, though the scene of the photo being taken is cut.The photo comes from the book the “Jeepen i Sverige”: http://cj3b.info/Finds/FindsSweden.html(looks like a very interesting book!)

According to Even Erlien, both the FC-150Am and the Volvo c202 were built with specification given by the Swedish Army.The Jeep-Scania got round fenders and the Volvo got square. Here’s a comparison of the two:

Maybe not FC Gold, this video is still pretty neat as well (thanks again to Craig).

Yesterday I re-posted the extended M-38A1 in Hamilton, MT, for sale. A reader named J commented that he had a similar one: same year with the same rear extension using rounded rivets. A third reader, back in 2012, mentioned he had one also (I’ve emailed him for more info). So, the call goes out . . . has anyone seen other, similar M-38A1s with a similar extension? Here’s a review of vehicles with mid section extensions (http://www.ewillys.com/tag/stretched/)and rear extensions (http://www.ewillys.com/tag/extended/)

J has examined his M-38A1 (named Porkchop) closely. He notes no place where the frame appears to have been joined. To him it looks more ‘production’ than ‘motor pool’. He also hasn’t yet found a VIN attached to it. However, like the M-38A1 from Hamilton, it has a hinged grille, suggesting it’s a pretty early model. One difference between the two is that Porkchop has a mid-section extension as well, similar looking to a CJ-6.

Why are we calling it the ‘Hamilton Mod’? J and I had a little confusion between us when we exchanged emails. But, I kind of like the name. So, until we know more, that’s the new name.

Here’s J’s Porkchop (see more pics and info here at J’s website):

For comparison, here’s the jeep for sale in Hamilton, MT. Identical, no. But, still worth exploring. I’ve emailed the seller to learn some more history.

It looks like Blaine did well at a collectible toy swap meet.The yellow ride-on jeep is from 1979 and was made in Canada.

This original version of “Watch Me, said the jeep” book sold for $41 on eBay.

I ran across this children’s book today. I’d never seen nor heard of it before. I’ve bundled it into a PDF file from pics on the internet. It was written by Helen Farris and illustrated by Tibor Gergley. She has another book inPDF form called The Red, White, and Blue Automobile.

This ad highlights the Fairchild’s C-119’s ability to provide ‘special delivery’ of fully assembled equipment to remote locations.

Here’s a different version of the ad from 1952 that was for sale back in Dec of 2013.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $5200.

“1951 Willy’s CJ3A, 134 motor, T90 transmission, spicer transfer case
I’m selling or possibly trading my ’51 Willy’s Jeep. This has been a great little jeep for the past 6 years. It runs great and is alot of fun.”

UPDATE: Was $4000.

This has a variety of changes.

“1948 Willeys CJ2A Jeep for Sale . This is a CJ2A with a 3A winsheild , that has a rebuilt 225 “Dauntless” V6 motor , New T90 3 spd trans , a rebuilt large Scout transfer case , with a New Warn overdrive attached. The rear Dana axle has been changed out new and a “True Trak” posi track unit installed , also new at the time. The front axle has had new spider gears installed ,and the axle ratio is 5:38’s. As you can see by the picks it has (5) new BFG’s tires on white spoke rims. Bucket seats inside and the winsheild wipers are a custom setup off of a Suburau. I have owned this Jeep since the 80’s and was the one who had all the rebuild done on it . There is a driver side saddle & rear gas tanks, also some spare parts , like a pedal assembly and a new cowl rubber seal and many misc. parts to go with it . The rear seat is also a storage box.
It is in need of a top , paint , and a good home! Motor is strong , runs good and Jeep is road ready . I am asking $4000.00 OBO”

It’s a project.

“I have a 1949 Jeep willy. It was a rebuild project that was given to me a few years ago and I have gotten pretty far but I don’t have the time to finish, and I need to get it out of the garage.

The Chase I sand blasted and Painted with POR15. It is in excellent condition.

The Engine is the original 4 cylinder, I did a complete rebuild and paint job. The two of the cylinder walls were a little rough, and she is a little smoky when running, but runs well.

The transmission I didn’t do much, new clutch, pilot bearing, and paint job.

The body was the tough part. I replaced the floor board, and tool box (under passenger seat). I went around and cut out all the rust and replaced it with fresh steal. I started the bondo and sanding process but I am out of time.

I know $3000 is a lot to ask for a rebuild project, Im hoping to breaking even. Make me an offer.”

This appears in good shape.

“Complete original factory option Koenig pto winch, Koenig bumper, Koenig cable guard, Gear box and drive line. This is a super rare addition to your willys truck or wagon. It also has shackles that can be removed for a tow bar to be mounted not included. This hole unit came off of a wagon and will also fit a pickup. The winch was taken a part cleaned and lubricated. Everything has been re painted and ready to be put on your vehicle.”
