The 2nd Annual Northwest FC Get Together was this past weekend in Olympia.  Josue was kind enough to forward some images from the event and give his take on it.

Josue writes, “Last weekend was the first opportunity I have had to visit a Jeep get-together. It wasn’t a huge turnout but it was definitely worth visiting. The meet-up was in Olympia, WA and it was specifically for Forward Control Jeeps. This was the second year and only about 8 showed up, although I’m sure it will get bigger with time. It was fun talking to a few people and seeing a couple of them run.”  Thanks Josue!

Colin’s friend Al has got a nice collection of Willys.  Colin forwarded a few pics of Al’s jeeps with some notes. Nice looking vehicles Al!

Colin writes, “I attached a photo of a CJ2A [al toy] that I did for a buddy of mine sitting on the hood of his August-built 1945 CJ2A with column shift, rebuilt with a lot of the leftover MB stuff that Willys used to get the first CJs on the road.

Al also has a 47 2WD wagon, a 49 Willys truck and a 49 Jeepster that is undergoing a repowering with a 55 Chrysler 331 Hemi, 727 trans, Mustang II front suspension and 56 Corvette rear end.  Aside from body work and paint, Al does all the work himself and does an excellent job.  The shot of the wagon with whitewall tires is the same wagon.  Amazing what a set of wide whites will do for a car.”

I’ve spent a good chunk of time in Watsonville.  I built a ballet studio there. I actually danced in a Nut Cracker Ballet during that period, too.  That was for ex-wife #2.  Hmmm … Let’s talk about the truck instead …. Here’s a beautiful truck.  Check out the bumper in the last pic.

It runs (though smokes).  It plows.  Looks like a good price.

“1964 CJ-5 Jeep this Jeep has been used only to plow a drive way for the last 20 years. It runs but smokes now,I think it’s the valve seals. It starts right up and runs great. The break lines are rotted out. I have a new master cylinder and rebuild kits for the wheels cylinders and some new brake hoses. I replaced the generator last year with a new GM alternator. The floors need work they were patched already. The frame seems to be in good shape I didn’t see any rot. The body has some rot and rust.The plow pump was just replaced with a newer Meyers pump which works great just needs to be wired. I have the controls and lights for the plow. This is a project I didn’t have time for. Would be a great project for someone or good for parts. I don’t have any paper work on it. I could provide a bill of sale. You can get a title from one of the online companies. The guy who had it before me owned it for 20 years. Call Tom @ 917-364-2605 Please call between 9am-10pm.The price is $750.00 CASH ONLY or let me know what you have to trade! The plow pump and lights alone are worth $600.00 and no I won’t sell the just the plow pump. I won’t ship you must have it towed home! Don’t text me I will only take phone calls.”

This is beautiful.

1951 M-38 Goodlettsville, TN **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2100.

I wonder why this is sporting a Dana 23-2 rear end?  The Dana 23-2 was used on the MBs/GPWs and early ’46.  Next, the Dana 41 was used until the Late 1950 CJ-3As when the Dana 44 was installed.  As best I can tell, all the M-38s used a Dana 44.

“Rare Korean War military Jeep. Good body; solid floors, has some rust on sides but easily repairable. Swapped in Chevy 350, stock, runs good. Comes with Advance Adapters Small Block Chevy to original Jeep T-90 transmission assembly($500 new), good transmission and good Transfer case, Dana 25 front axle, Dana 23-2 rear axle, 15 inch wheels with tires that are worn out. I will sell for $2,100 negotiable.”
