GPW and MB Orcas Island, WA $7000 for both

• CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB), MB This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

These are described as MBs, but it looks like one has a GPW front cross member. They are located on Orcas Island, which requires taking the ferry. A truck plus a two-vehicle trailer will probably require a $325 ferry ticket (truck 15′ + trailer 30′), if I am reading the fare schedule correctly.

“Two 1943 Willys MB Jeeps FOR SALE
Selling two vehicles together – $7,000/Both OBO
We purchased these in 2010 from a Military Surplus outfit in the Grants Pass, Oregon area. We tinkered on them over the years, both have run and were driven in the past on our land. Not currently running. These are two separate restoration projects. I have the original paperwork from the military surplus seller including the title for the camo one; the blue one is untitled. The old license plates on the vehicles were there at the time of our purchase. We never transferred title to our name. For purchase, I will provide two Bills of Sale plus title for the camo one and statement of fact about the blue one. You can apply for title for the blue jeep and get a VIN assigned as outlined by WA State DMV for vehicle without title.
Camo painted jeep: 1943 Willys MB – title in hand. This jeep clearly spent time in Europe and likely remained in post war service in Germany. (It has some parts with labels written in Deutsch). This jeep is fully intact and mostly original. Key included. Seats all included and recovered. Spare tire mount and tire included. Bimini frame included (no canvas). Jerrycan holders included and mounted. Frame intact. Surface rust throughout, and rust through hole on the mounting steps and adjoining side panel.
Blue painted jeep: untitled, estimated to be similar vintage (same grill style) as the camo MB so early 1940s. Key included. Appears to be modified: i.e no bench seat, and gas tank is fabricated and located at the rear (where a bench seat would have been). Frame intact, surface rust throughout, no holes.

I’m unclear why someone would use a 2A body for a trailer …

We Have Water!

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

After a week+ with our well out of commission we once again have well water. The culprit was our well pump, which had lost its bearing. Reassembly of the well pump took an extra day as our pump is a 3HP 40GPM pump, which took extra time to find. I also learned our that our water table appears to start about 6′ below the surface and our well is sits at about 110′.

I am not all that familiar with well-setups, but the “George’s”, our well guys were both named George, were impressed, with one telling me that he now wants to set up his well water system with a cistern and secondary pump so he can keep the water pressure high (when the irrigation is running our water pressure is still strong for showers, etc).

Meanwhile, I got more wiring done on the FC. I also built the bracket to hold the e-brake line and the fuel pump, which is now mounted closer to the tank.

Finally, I snagged a few new brochures off eBay, so I will share those in the next week or so. I should have some updates Friday morning.

Pulling the well pipe. The well head sits right next to the shop:
