“1949 Jeep-Willys pickup truck w/flat bed, 4X4, stick shift, original 134c.i. 4 cyl. engine, in good running/operating condition.
This was a local one-owner truck at time of purchase at a local estate auction after owner passed away. The truck starts, runs, drives and can be used for about any purpose. Bought with intentions of taking to local shows & parades, but health problem prevents that.
I have a good, clean Missouri title, but never licensed it for highway use. The truck is kept inside my secure building along with my other possessions. For questions, clarification, or to see, call or email (I don’t do texting).”
HERES MY 25 CENT APPRAISAL — FLATBED ASSEMBLY NOT ORIGINAL — PROBABLY HAD A PICKUP BED THAT RUSTED OUT — THE EARLY MODEL 4WD TRUCKS DID NOT DESIGNATE A STAKEBODY ON THE SERIAL NUMBER PLATE — I THINK WILLYS STARTED DESIGNATING STAKEBODYS IN APRIL , 1950 , WHEN THE NEWER FRONT END SHEET METAL APPEARED — I ONCE BOUGHT A WILLYS TRUCK , 1953 WITH A STAKEBODY ON IT , I THOUGHT IT WAS ORIGINAL — I FORGOT TO CHECK THE SERIAL NUMBER — IT WAS A PICKUP THAT SOMEBODY SWITCHED TO AN ORIGINAL WILLYS STAKEBODY — AND I PAID LONG GREEN FOR IT — LIVE AND LEARN ?
forgot to mention what is rare on this truck — the rear drawbar — I have that on my 48 and for some reason , you rarely see them on trucks , though it was an option …
