eWillys Mobile Edition

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I’m sorry to say that I experienced a death recently, a close friend with whom I have shared close calls and turbulent times.  While my friend was there most times, there were times that this friend was nowhere to be found.  For this reason, I don’t wholly miss my friend.  In fact, though I buried my friend, rather than entombing my friend 6ft under ground, my friend is entombed in my computer bag.

Yes, my Samsung Instinct died; Or more accurately, I put him to death.  He was behaving badly over the last week, so I punished his disloyalty by purchasing a new phone with a new provider — a Samsung Captivate with the Andriod OS with AT&T. So, though my old friend is gone and buried, he is not missed … not in the slightest.

With my new phone, I can now text again, dial phone numbers, surf the web and even download APPS.  Oh happy days!

Since I am now back in the age of modern phones, I felt it was time to implement a ‘mobile edition’ of eWillys.  For now, it is simply a mobile browser addition, meaning it is a little friendlier for the phone — at least it is on my android phone.

Kevin Paints His Wagon — With some Helpers

Kevin painted his wagon with some unusual help …

Kevin writes, “I Finally got good help on my ’62 Willys Wagon rebuild…it didn’t hurt either to wear my “Big Daddy Roth” – Rat Fink t-shirt for inspirational artistic talents…and yes, in tradition of an old time build, I’m painting it outdoors.”

1946 CJ-2A VEC?, Trailer, 2 other parts jeeps Inwood, WV **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A, trailer This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

“As seen in photos, one complete Jeep with snow plow – title number BB25049. Purchased this Jeep from a local man who said it came from PA State Road of Turnpike. As you can see in the pictures, it is mostly complete. What I can see that is missing is the top radiator hose and oil breather, tube and can. It has dual defrosters, heater, radio and spotlight.The snow plow has a tag that reads Scheneker Iron Works Serial Number 8740 Model B. PLow is in decent shape for age, not bent.  All hydrolics appear to be intact and complete.  This Jeep is a perfect project vehicle for restoration.

The pictures also show a Jeep frame that I started as a project, the frame was sandblasted, repainted with Eastwood primer and chasis paint. All bearings were repacked or replaced. All new seals (front seal leaks, have not had a chance to look at it). New brake lines and master cylinder, shocks and spring shackles.  Tires are new but have some sidewall cracking. I put all new tubes in them. It has a little surface rust from sitting out the past several months on the areas that are not painted. The tub that came off the frame has had all sheet metal replaced, it is ready for sandblasting and a little body work, then painting. The photos show rust but this is from the replacement metal not being painted.  The motor and trans are on the skid in the photos. It did run when I started the project 3 years ago. It was clean but has some surface rust. The Vin # s BC51837 (with title).

The other 2 Jeeps shown are parts Jeeps, no titles. I can’t begin to list what I have taken off or what’s left, it was used on my project. Email with questions. There is also a skid with extra parts, some useable some not.

The Bantam Trailer, Vin # T3C362 (with title). I have original VIN plate, it is not on the trailer so no photo taken of it. It has had the floor replaced and the front part of the trailer (about 4″ up) has been replaced. Photo shows surface rust, just needs sandblasted. Tires are original will need replaced.

I had started restoring this Jeep 3 years ago but I’m running out of time and space and have moved on to other projects and need my shop back. Any questions, please email or call (304) 283-6787.”

1947 CJ-2A Canyon County, Id Trade/Make Offer

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This looks pretty good.

“I absolutely hate listing my Jeep, logic and finances dictate however. I recently moved and now have nearly a one hundred mile commute… daily. I would like to offer my Jeep as a trade for a NICE family friendly, fuel efficient vehicle. I would like an AWD wagon (i.e. Outback or something similar), or a nice sporty sedan, etc, etc.

Jeep has two tops, doors, new tires (Geolanders), near new motor (Buick V-6), front/rear hitches, full cage roll bar, it IS the split window, has extra windshield, harness seats and belts. Runs and drives like a Jeep! Great rig and very capable of whatever you throw at it.

I’m flexible, but not open to insulting lowball offers. If you have a Geo Prizm to offer that’s fine, but plan to add something else to your offer. I have cars to drive to work, but each of them have a drinking problem. I work swing shift, so I can be reached in the mornings or late at night. If I get your message after work I will call you back the next morning, unless you indicate otherwise. I can be reached by phone at 2o8-nine3six-nine2seven8 or you can e-mail me by using the C.L. link. Thanks for looking!”

• CATEGORIES: M-38 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This looks pretty stock and still sports a 24 volt system.  That’s pretty funny, as I was talking with Van today (he purchased one of my Champs) and he said that 24 volt M-38s were hard to find.  True, I said, but I still find them … and voila …

“This is a great older Military Jeep w/original 34000 miles 95% original parts(have re-built orininal fuel pump) Was on road w/SC tag till last fall.

1957 FC-150 Conowingo, Md **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: FC150-FC170-M677 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This seller must sell a variety of trucks, including this FC and a soon to be listed 1965 Willys Jeep FC170 DRW.

“1957 Willys FC150 4 cyl. 3 spd. 4X4. First off I am going through a divorice and I have to sell most of my trucks. The starting bid is what I can get for it as scrap. There is NO RESERVE. I hope that doesn’t happen. If in the event I don’t sell the truck, I will take it apart and scrap the shell. So if you see a part you need, let me know when the auction is over.

I regret that I must sell my trucks. This is a 57 FC150 that runs good, all the 4X4 works, has lock out hubs, electric fuel pump, GM alternator, and already has 11″ brakes installed on the front. I have 11″ backing plates and 1 drum for the rear that are included. The cab needs some some work. The bed is really good shape for one of these trucks. They are usually the hardest part to find. The 65 FC150 I will be listing later has a bed, but not as nice as this one. The windshield is cracked, but a good one is included. Also included with this truck is a complete 4 spd. set up for an FC150, 2 original gas tanks, a whole rear half of a cab, a whole front half of a cab, 2 doors for parts and a rear frame section that has a counterweight and mounting brackets. The rear cab section is good for patches for the lower cab corners. I have an early cab heater that is included, but it is pieces. The 2 brown seats in the pictures are included. If I think of anything else I will add it. I have a clear title. I have engines, transmissions, transfercases, rears if someone needs parts. I will add a link to Photobucket for more pictures. If you would like additional pictures, just send me your email address. If you have any questions please ask. I encourage anyone interested to come look at the truck. I work nights and am available during the day.”

1953 CJ-3A Farmington, ME **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $2995.

(09/20/2010) This seller has mower and snow plow attachments.  Note the rear PTO. The tub and fenders are fiberglass.

“Good condition. Original flathead 4 cylinder starts and runs good. 3 speed transmission with hi-lo and FWD shifts good. Frame is solid with no rust. Tub and fenders are fiberglass. Hood, grill and windshield are steel. Has hydraulic lift on front and rare pto in the back. Included are a manual angle snow plow, and 59″ wide finish mower that hooks up to the rear pto, a steel half-cab which I purchased but never used, a light duty roll bar, original wheels and other parts. The speedo cable has been broken for as long as I have owned it so I have no idea how many miles are on it. The oil pressure and water temp gauges work. For the past 7 years or so, I have used this cool, old jeep to mow my lawn, plow my 100′ driveway and occasionally ride into town (5 miles) but now I have lost interest and purchased conventional mower and snowblower to replace it. Some work on the wiring for the headlights and turn signals will need to be done to make it street legal again. I will take $3500 for everything for the first person who shows up with the money and I’ll also consider offers for the jeep without the attachments.”

1951 M-38 Arlington, TX **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: M-38 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Unusual paint job.

“solid jeep. flat four(60 hp) needs an alt and probably battery. new 31 in tires(less than 100 miles). new water pump and had the starter rebuilt about five years ago and have put less than 100 miles on it. has a broken header bolt that could be tapped out. wouldn’t hurt to have carb rebuilt built probably easier to replace engine with small v8 to provide more power the flat four is missing. don’t have time to play with it, so time to clean my garage. could be restored with alot of work, but more likely could be made into a crawler easier. this is not a work of art but has good componets: axles, tube, t-case and trans(3 speed), tires, frame, etc. have clear title. as is.”
