“Rare 1960 Forward Control Jeep FC150 for sale.
Sat for years until I bought it last summer. I had the stock F4-134 engine rebuilt, and the T90A transmission also rebuilt. Added a steel front bumper. Brakes do not work, electrical not hooked up. Bed intact. No title, will give a bill of sale. Original paint job shows it was used at the Snowshoe Dude and Guest Ranch in Kremmling CO. (Zane Grey wrote ‘The Mysterious Rider’ while staying there).”

I spend the last couple days driving to, then back from Seattle. Dad’s been saying a few odd things, so I wanted to see how he was doing at his new Rehab facility. He may have the start of some dementia … on the joys of aging.

Because of my drive over on Sunday, I lost out on the chance to get this Dualmatic Sales Demo hub. But, I did score some cool wagon/truck/jeepster brochures fairly inexpensively. So, I’ll be sharing those at some point.

Here’s the demo hub. There’s not a good pic of it, but there’s plastic around the edge so viewers can watch how the levers engage/disengage the hubs.

1944 Article “…By Jeep To Alaska Article” (Early One)

Herbert Lanks wrote an article titled “… By Jeep To Alaska” that was published in the February 13, 1944, issue of the Evening Star (published on page 4 and page 5). He’d later write a second, and different, article titled with the same name published in the September issue of Popular Photography.

The article below appears between sets of photos.  The first photo below shows the humble beginnings of the Watson Lake Sign Forest.

1951-cj3a-stockton-ca4
“All original 1951 Willys CJ3a. Current California registration through June 2019. 6 Volt electrical system with keyed ignition and floor foot starter. Ramsey X200 R PTO winch. The person I bought the jeep from in 2009 said the winch worked but I’ve never tried it. Since I’ve owned the jeep, I’ve had the water pump rebuilt the radiator boiled out/tested and replaced the thermostat. I’ve replaced the fuel sending unit and now have a functioning fuel gauge. All gauges work. Front passenger mounted heater works.

No windshield wipers nor do they work. No bikini top but i do have a set of brackets but they are not original. The tires should have been replaced 20 or 30 years ago. Drivers rear tire will loose air but it takes a few weeks before it gets flat. All others hold air. This is a running Willys CJ3a but it I only feel comfortable going about 35 mph. You’ll need a trailer to get it home. It has a tow bar that accepts a 2 inch ball hitch but i’ve never used it. Again, you’ll need a trailer to get it home. I replaced the battery last month and it starts right up.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.

Mike’s selling his running and driving 3B with a PTO winch. It’s got a great, rustic look to it.

“True barn find, I bought this in Montana a few years ago. It was stored in a barn for 30 years. I trailered it back and parked it in my garage for past 3 years. It’s complete and stock. I removed the head and cleaned the cylinders. Runs great, does not smoke. Original f-134 and 3 speed. Has PTO winch. Brakes need work. This Jeep is cancer free, has surface rust but tub is solid, hat channels and tool box are solid. I’ll fix brakes but price will go up. Has Montana pick slip. Ready to restore or drive as is.”
