“This is a 1948 Willys, New 327 motor, 6 pack carbs, flip top front, powerglide transmission, A/C, new radiator. Selling for a friend and have more cars to sell.”
It’s a project.
“Hi there
not the prettiest, but good bones.
Perfect for a father/ son project restauration.
I did the same with mine, took a while, but the results; they wave and honk at me at every corner when I drive my Willys.
The good:
– engine turns, not seized.
-great frame
-decent tires
The bad:
-bathtub is a rust bucket
-of course, with this vehicles, no VIN, and NO tags.
I will sell it with a Bill of sale
I have the fenders for it, they are not in good shape, but they can be fixed
for more pics, text me
I will include some extra floors from a wrangler Jeep, so you can repair the bad ones
I ll also include an old block ( another flat 4 cyl)
And an extra pannel with instruments”

“I have for sale a parts jeep that is a Willys m38 military jeep. It has been converted to 12 volt. It does not have a title. The seats that are in it are the correct m38 frames. The engine is a RMC m38 correct engine, the transmission and transfer case are the original military units. It has the correct m38 radiator. This is a running driving jeep. It has some rust through and has been cut on. This is a parts jeep or farm or trail jeep only. Please look at the pictures carefully. If this ad is up, it is still available. I have put a heavy duty gas tank in it. I also checked all the fluids and greased the jeep. Also the oil has been changed.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600.
Nick shared this one.
“For sale is a 1952 Willys M38A1, the first year produced. I bought this Jeep a few days ago and was told it ran less than a year ago, and just needed batteries. The story goes a farmer bought this Jeep to use on his blueberry farm. After bringing it home I cleaned the entire Jeep out, topped off the transmission, and got intimidated with the electrics. I’m not sure if this is 24V like original or converted 12V, but the wiring needs all gone through. The gas tank should be cleaned out, and I would guess a new fuel pump. I’ve owned a dozen flat-fender Jeeps and always wanted to try an M38A1, but it was more work than I anticipated for a weekend project before driving back down to campus.
This Jeep is perfect for an off-road or farm toy. The transmission is free and the shifter moves nicely, I could push the Jeep around with ease. When I topped off the tranny, the gears looked pretty clean. Engine is free as well. I crawled all under the frame and it’s solid. It looks like there’s a plow mechanism that’s still hooked up on the front. The tires have dry rot but have been holding air pretty well, and have plenty of tread left. These are the larger 7×16 tires.
From a historical standpoint, this is also a great basis for a restoration project. The entire drivetrain is original military with the correct engine and transmission. You can even see the USMC hood numbers peering through the hood paint. It looks like this Jeep at one time during service had a snorkel, which the hole in the hood was for. The front-half body is in great shape with little rust, and the tub could be repaired or replaced.”

Michael spotted this DJ. It hasn’t been run in a while.
“Completely unmolested, clean, straight, no rust, no dents great barn find specimen. This is an all original, all numbers matching, 27000 actual mile Willy’s. Engine hasn’t run in a while but little doubt that it will. It odes turn over, it does have compression and fire. I took the Jeep for trade on some work I done. I have no place for it and no time to refurb.
This would be an incredible father son recon project. It’s all there. I even have the original jack, lug wrench and spare tire.
The right rear brake is locked up.
Title is current and clean. VIN 24242. Matching on frame rail and VIN tag.
Original color was white but it has been painted.”
Seller would like to sell this soon.
“For Sale 1950 1/2 Willys Pickup truck frame in pretty good condition isn’t perfect but I need to get it out of here in the next few weeks and I’d rather not scrap it. Rear bumper thing is a little bent and it has been patched professionally behind the cab which is smooth transition between new metal and old, so once it’s painted you’ll never be able to tell, also other plates where fabricated. Deserves to live another day. It’s all ready for drive train since everything’s pulled.
Comes with front and rear axles. Which I believe are 6.17s but no guarantees on that. Rear axle is clam shell style and bolt have seen better days so keep that in mind.
12 leaf Springs in the rear and 9 up front. The front springs are ready to go and need no altering. The rear Springs on the passenger side the bottom like 4 are shot. So I’d just pull those and have a spring shop make 1 bottom leaf to replace those 4, make it ride better.
Brakes will need to be done I’m sure. If someone would rather I can sell without the axles.
I also have a 4.3l V6 TBI chevy engine, th400 Auto transmission, and np208 (passenger drop will work in this set up nicely ) which is also for sale and I could include this or just certain parts.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.

Steve’s selling this FC.
“1957 FC-150 Jeep Pickup 4×4. No engine or transmission in this project vehicle. Electric/Hydraulic flatbed dump. The 7′ bed makes it seem longer like its FC-170 cousin with a 9′ bed. The original pickup bed in an FC-150 is 6′ long.
The condition of the cab is in the top 10% of the surviving FC’s in my estimation. The cab corners are solid. The only rust is along the front edge below the grill, see photos. It doesn’t look like it was repaired before a previous owner painted it. The doors close very nicely. No typical crease in the driver’s door. And the floors are solid.
It’s an easy project waiting for your engine/transmission combination. I have an original F4-134 engine and T-90 transmission from another FC at an additional cost. The truck still has the original 4 cyl. motor mounts. I planned to install a Ford Mustang 6-200 cu. in. engine adapted to a Willys T-90. I would sell the Ford small six with adapter & T-90 for what I have into it. Or use your own engine preference. A V8 is not recommended in this little truck. V6, yes!
If you don’t like the dump bed, I also have an original bed from a 1960 FC150 that needs the rails straightened and some rust repair, and can easily be adapted to the earlier frame if you prefer an original bed, for a little more cost.”
This January 1958 article highlights Captain Gifford Markeson’s Fc-170 and its use as a boat delivery vehicle. Markeson owned Mark’s Sporting and Marine Supply Shop in McHenry, Illinois.
