It lacks full floaters. The body looks good.
“Here is a chance to own a piece of History. Its a 1942 Military Jeep In great shape that need to be, sanded and painted and restored. Most parts are there and needs to be put back in place. (parts are easy to obtain) Motor is a original willys flat head 4 cylinder, which is not locked up and the carburator has been taped up for a long time so no debris could enter. The body is a old reproduction and there is only little surface rust, no holes and only needs to be sanded and painted. The body alone is worth $5,000.00 to replace it. The drive trane is there and installed. I have no idea of it’s condiction, but parts are easy to acquire if needed. Pictures do not do it justice. It would be a great project for a beginner or somebody that has always wanted a military jeep to drive around or to have on a farm to play with. Please contact me if you are interested.”

Dear Bryan; I’m very interested but live in SE Pa. I would like to know if you have a clear title & if you have the data plates that were on dash & glove box? What do you mean by lacks full floaters & do you have the steering column? Thanks, Paul
Hi Paul,
Contact the seller of the jeep via Craigslist: https://cincinnati.craigslist.org/cto/6150734610.html There are more pics there, too, but none showing the glove box.
I am not the seller, but that full floating comment is mine. MB and GPW jeeps (aka WWII jeeps) both had full floating rear ends (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axle#Full-floating_vs_semi-floating). The jeep for sale above lacks the full floating rear end, which suggests the original axle has been replaced.
