UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $1500
(04/14/2011) Windy’s got this CJ-5 trencher for sale. He also has some extra parts for sale, too.
“For sale, ’70 Jeep trencher. body rough but could be repaired or get another early cj5 and put it on. Jeep is complete. Also have extra trencher parts from ’68 available. This is a neat piece of Jeep history fun project that I have to let go. $1500 for trencher OBO Title lost , bill of sale only. I’m near Lenharstsville PA. Gotta get rid of a few projects.”
Here are the extra parts:
Looks like someone already got to the dual wheels.
Dave, this has been for sale a long time, maybe a year or two. If somebody has been there to see this, please let us know what the story is on this.
I can’t open the rest of the pix but this seems to be an AUBURN Jeep-A-Trench by the pix I can see. The single transfer handle dates it as probably one of the last by this company. The dual wheels were an option. We had a listing of the similar one I sold to a CT. collector a little while back. I still have a dual wheeled version CJ5 made by Go-For-Digger which was similar, but the digger could slide side to side to allow trenching close to a foundation. Mine has the single transfer case handle. If anyone is a player for an odd Willys Product, there is a lot of value here. Those pointed pick type diggers were also an option, very scarce, as I’d only seen them in sales literature.
I like the jeep. looking for a different project, also looking for a usable early cj5 body. thanks..
Eric,

Is this still available?
Hi John,
I haven’t seen this listed since April. I’ve updated the post. If I see it again I’ll let you know.
