I really had to stare at this one for a while. I *think* this is might be a 2A with some 3B and wagon parts. But, it also has full floaters in the rear. I like the “original” flathead engine that is actually an f-head.
“1948 Willys Jeep with flat head 4 cyc original engine, manual, 4×4, all matching numbers…. this jeep has plowed our snow for years….”
Whatever it’s made out of, I kind of like it.
Very interesting build. It would look so much better with a 3b hood and grill.
Whether or not you think it was worth all the effort to build this, or whether or not you like the aesthetics, you have to admire the quality of both the design and body work it took to create this.
A great example of CREATIVE TALENT, nor beautiful,but one of a kind.
Bubba has a lot of fun with it. The grill doesn’t seem to be 3B. 8 Slots!
I’m sure Bubba was thinking;”People will never figure it out! Mouhahahaha! WTH?”
Well there you go Dave, there actually was a CJ3B that looked like a Wagon out there all along. Just like we joked about with the ad that was listed as a CJ3B but an actual real wagon thru and thru. Whew, someone had a lot free time on there hands. Or they’d just started a good drunk at the beginning of winter and got to pondering. I mean while I was stationed in England in the early 90’s they had TV series that put people, in a two team format, in a junk yard and said, “here ole chaps is what we need built post haste, so get cracking”! These guys were supposedly geniuses. Well nothing they produced came close to this. Hell I’m half Hillbilly and Half Redneck and told a quarter mutt and this really impresses me! LOL. But it begs the question, why not just fix up a wagon to plow? We will probably never know the story behind this, uh, …uh, build/contraption. However, I’m going to call and check into it. I bet that story might make in to Readers Digest.
Definitively not a 3B grill!!!! It has 8 slots, no willys stamp on top and the headlight are too low….
It would be fun to see the list of “all matching number”.
Barry: I look forward to your report π
Lots of work there!
