1948 Photo from China with Willys Truck on eBay
Marc found this unusual Willys export truck with extra carrying capacity. I thought it was a refrigeration unit of some kind, but the side reads “Pocket Testament Leage”. Maybe it is a variant of the Sprecksell body (see brochure in post below).
“Vintage 1948 Real Picture Post Card of two Chinese men from the Pocket Testament League posing with a Willys Jeep Panel truck or van. The condition is good with some loss to the front…you still get the idea. Great addition to any collection.”

1941 Photo of BRC-60 and Men with Rifles on eBay
I’ve never seen an original version of this press photo from February 6, 1941. Great photo! The use of the term “Might Midget” rather than jeep or blitz buggy is notable.
“This is an original press photo. Dept- US Army Service Corps, Credit – ACME & NEAPhoto measures 9 x 7inches. Photo is dated 02-6-1941.”
MINI-BEEP Kit from Struck-kit
UPDATE: Blaine forwarded the video for the Mini-Beep:
Struck-Kit offers what they call a Mini-Beep Kit, which you can use to build mini jeep-like vehicles. You can even build an amphibious version.

1950 CJ-3A Long Beach, CA **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This isn’t perfect, but it has a great vintage feel with the old top and posse tag. There are several Douglas Counties in different states, but I’m guessing this was from Nevada?

(10/16/2013) This has some underside rust.
“This began as a project 3 years ago. The jeep has been in a barn on the Ragan ranch for approx. 25 years where it sat after the brakes went out. It was moved to a different barn in Santa Ynez where I got it and brought it back into action in 2011. I use it now for my lawn care work in town. It has all original parts except for an alternator now, a 12 volt system and a solid state ignition. I have the original points distributor as well. It runs nicely and it is what it is. Yes, the horn works. I NEVER ride around with it without an overwhelming response form about Everyone who sees me. I ride with the windshield down. I arrested the surface rust. The under side needs some attention. Some small rust holes in the low side above the floor. The 4 wheel drive works sooooo well. I have two wheel brake cylinders to install for better braking.”
