https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/765445774251879/

“1946 Military Willys CJ2A has a lot invested into it. I have really enjoyed it but it’s time to part ways. It needs some work. Pm for more details it won’t let me type anymore. Needs timing and has exposed wires. I didn’t do the build but you can tell by looking what it’s got! It’s an all custom build and one of a kind. It’s not a Willy’s title as that was lost a long time ago. So what it has is a Clean Suzuki samurai title from the frame, engine, and transmission. It’s powered by a rebuilt fuel injected samurai motor and transmission which is a 1.6L 4 speed manual transmission with 4hi and 4L. It has brand new spark plugs, plug wires, distributor motor, Distributor cap, and rotor. 5.13 gears with a rear E-locker that is geared to be on all of the time, Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 front and rear axles, FJ60 leaf springs, and FJ60 front manual center locking hubs. Make offer. No low ballers please.”

1953 CJ-3A Chassis(?) Orangevale, CA $1000

November 4, 2020 • CATEGORIES: CJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Seller is keeping the body and VIN and selling the rest (mostly sounds like the power train and chassis).

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/657991271571370/

“I’m selling everything but the cab/tub and everything in it. I will be keeping the VIN and title. May also keep the radiator. I’d like to sell the frame, rolling on axles with the engine, transmission, and transfer case as one complete unit. It’s a 1953 CJ3A with a V6 swap. Not sure if it’s an odd fire or not. I drove it to where it’s been parked for about a year. I believe the master cylinder needs to be replaced. I’ll try to get it running for a serious buyer before I remove what I’m keeping. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. $1000 OBO”

Pre-jeep Jeeping: Swing Dancing and Theft

November 3, 2020 • CATEGORIES: Features, Old News Articles • TAGS: jeep-name. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

These two pre-1940 news items highlight how “jeep” and “jeeping” already had definitions prior to the launch of Bantam’s prototype.

In 1937, this article on “Jeeping” as a swing dance, as testified in court by Detective Fred V. Boye, was widely distributed among newspapers. I have been unable to isolate exactly what moves define the “jeeping swing dance”. This example article comes from the July 28, 1937, issue of the Park City Daily News out of Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Two years later, in 1939, a couple of Washington State vagrants (no, they aren’t relatives of mine) got caught “jeeping” pin ball machines using a “jeep”. A woman, along for the ride, even had a marijuana cigarette! This article is from the November 29, 1939, issue of the Green Bay Press Gazette:

I thought I would win this auction, but I didn’t bid quite high enough. It looks like an interesting book. The guy who sold it on eBay said he used it to build a “bullet proof” AMC 360 engine. This book was printed in 1993.

Here are the pics posted on the auction:

Unusual Dualmatic Hubs (Possibly for a Ford?)

November 2, 2020 • CATEGORIES: Features • TAGS: Hubs. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Tim’s father-in-law purchased these Dualmatic hubs, but Tim’s unsure what vehicle they fit. Given the hub model number is F-230, we believe these were likely used on a Ford truck (possible the F-250, as that was the model of truck his father-in-law had). Anyone recognize them or know if they’d fit on a 1960s/70s Ford truck? The hubs are 19 spline.

Over all this jeep looks solid, but will need the brakes bled. Body has a few age marks (note the driver’s side inner cowl support).

“1943 Ford gpw Ww2 Jeep for sale. Serial number 162829. Vehicle is in good overall condition and period correct. It had a frame on preservation in the 90’s. It was last used in 2016 and parked. I’ve recently got it running again and replaced the following – fuel tank, 6v battery, plugs, coil, condenser, wires, and battery. It could use a tune up and driving. The brakes were replaced but need to be bleed from sitting. Wiring all is in very nice condition. It has a 30 cal dummy gun with a cradle and original mount. I have a beachwood canvas top and windshield cover that come with the Jeep. If your not interested in the cradle/mount/and 30 I can remove it and sell the Jeep for 16500.”

1961 CJ-3B Hartland, VT $2500

November 2, 2020 • CATEGORIES: CJ-3B This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Listed as a 1961, the lack of a stamped hood got me thinking. Checking the serial number revealed this is actually a mid-1963 CJ-3B, so the non-stamped hood could very well be original. No description provided.
