David Adams posted this oddity on Facebook. He was hoping to learn more about it. The jeep appears to be a CJ-3A that’s been modified for some purpose that’s not clear. The side looks kind of like a Willys Quad; was that a coincidence?
Here’s one of his posts (there were several posts and I got several IMs about it).
The Evans Co. did was active in several adaptions for transport. Here are a couple of links. Not surprised that they did an Willys adaptation. Would be great to see the SN or Model on the tag.

That’s about the ugliest beast i’ve ever seen. I love it.
