Gas tank? If under driver’s seat, muffler right underneath. Cool pic
That jeep is actually a CJ2 prototype agrijeep.
Joe: Well, that was dumb of me. Indeed it is. I saw column shift and thought VEC. Corrected now. Thanks!
Mike: I am not familiar with the CJ-2 gas tanks, but that certainly doesn’t look like a smart arrangement. Reminds me of the pinto and it’s filler hose that traveled over the exhaust (and would pop loose when rear-ended).
Somewhere in my notes I have the names of the men in the photo. That’s a hog in the crate that just came from the pig farm which was on the main Cesor farm.
