(06/12/2012) It would not surprise me if this was built on a later model CJ-5 frame given the stretched front clip.

1946 CJ-2A Seymour, Indiana $6250

This has a new body.  Not a perfect original restoration, but looks very nice.

“This is a 1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep. I’ve been restoring it for about 6 years now. It has a new metal CJ2A body tub and various other new body parts. I have invested about $9500 in vehicle, body parts, paint, rhino lining, and labor. I’m asking $6,250, but would take any reasonable offer. I’d consider half cash and a trade if it were something that appealed to me like guns, guitars, or something else with wheels to make up the rest of the value. I’m ready to deal. Street legal and much stronger than an ATV.

The 46 Willys is a low geared, 4×4, original flat head 4 banger, stick shift 3 speed. It has been converted from 6v to 12v and has always been pretty much mechanically sound. Top speed is 45-50mph. It can climb paved steep inclines even in third gear with no struggle and can get about anywhere on other terrain in lower gears and 4 wheel drive. It is perfect for the farm or ranch and does well on the state highways, back country roads, hunting trails, and open fields. It is too slow for the interstate. Though it is very much still original, I wanted it to be a daily driver so I installed an additional brake light and turn signals ( not standard for the 46).”

Holt Forklift with Willys Engine Coachella, Ca **SOLD**

July 5, 2012 • CATEGORIES: Features, Industrial-Welder-Generator This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
1

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $2000.

(04/30/2012) I tried to uncover more information about the use of Willys engines in Holt Forklifts, but I found nothing.

However, regarding forklifts, I found that Mercury forklifts were stamped ‘JEEP’ prior to the development of the jeep:

Otis Elevator and Baker Electric Truck combined to produce the first Lift Truck in
1907. It had a nickel iron battery and it had a chain lift. The company was know as Otis-Baker. Baker manufactured the Baker Electric Car but then switched to industrial tow tractors and pushers. They had tiller steering. Otis Elavator was the preeminent expert in all things lift so the marriage was perfect.

Mercury electric trucks were competition for the Baker and they eventually became Pettibone-Mercury. Mercury had nothing to do with the Ford Motor Company and their use of the name pre-dates Ford’s. Mercury was the first company to use the word “jeep” on it’s forklifts. The use of the name pre-dated the famous Willys Jeep. Forklifts to this day are still called Jeeps and occasionally in an old industrial scap heap you may still see a counter weight for an original Jeep.

Read more: What year was the first forklift made? | Answerbag http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/2136154#ixzz1tXwQxWfI

I tried to locate the year in which Mercury forklifts were first called jeeps, but have yet to find it.  Instead, I found this brochure on ebay that clearly labels the forklift as JEEP as early as 1950.

======

Below we have the Holt Forklift that is for sale:

“holt forklift don’t know what year it is. the motor is a flathead 4cyl willys manual shift 4×4 drive.right now it needs electric fuel pump to run. asking 2000.00 obo call manny 760-250-9975 after 5pm or leaeve message before then.”

The CJ5 frame provides excellent stabilty while still being small enough overall to wind your way through the narrowest of trails. This rig successfully traveled several black diamond trails around the Gorman Area and easily climbed the sand dunes in Pismo Beach both in Califonia. Highway legal. I just don’t seem to use it enough and I hate to see it sit. Possible trade all or part depending on what you have.

We drained the fuel tank and installed new fuel line.

It was stored for years in a garage, the tires were rotted, we put on street tires to sell it. It used to have 12×15 large mud tires on the 10″ rims.

We have the clear title, this jeep used to race, its very strong, so its not for sale to any young drivers.”
