The Farm Jeep Book

Barry Thomas has released a new book The Farm Jeep Book.

The Farm Jeep Book

This covers over 14 years of research on the Farm Jeep. Barry has always been very helpful to me with eWillys and I appreciate what he has shared with me since I have been on the controls. His history with eWillys is very extensive and he has completed several other projects related to sharing the history of WIllys, Jeeps, and of course Farm Jeeps. Please check out his latest work and if you have any feedback please let him know. Please join me in thanking him for what he has contributed to preserving the Farm Jeep history.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOOK:

This is a living e-book — built from fourteen years of research, field notes, and original documents about the Farm Jeep.

It tells the forgotten story of the engineers, entrepreneurs, and corporate giants who turned a military scout car into a working farm machine.

The story spans from the muddy fields of 1900 to the 1970 model year — when the Jeep quietly stopped being a tractor and became a toy.

1949 CJ-3A $5000 San Antoino, TX

Posted a few months ago, but recently updated.

Link To Ad

INFORMATION FROM SELLER:

I have a 1949 CJ3A Jeep for sale. It runs and drives, has a blue bonded title. I got the parts to start the brakes, but haven’t installed them yet. It’s not a rust bucket and would be fine on a ranch as-is, but it needs work. It would be a fun project for someone who has the room and the mechanical ability for a do it yourself project. Possible trade for a zero turn mower OR a 1970’s jeep. Something with a straight 6.

1960 M38A1/CJ5 Jeep – $7,500 Cortez, CO

• CATEGORIES: CJ5, M-38A1 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

1960 M38A1/CJ5 Jeep – $7,500 Cortez, CO

Link To Ad

INFORMATION FROM SELLER:

FOR SALE: 1960 JEEP CJ-5/M38A1

Offered for sale is a very nice CJ-5/M38A1 Jeep.

Starting out with an M38A1 and a 1960 CJ-5, the CJ body tub, was combined with the

M38A1 grille, hood, fenders, dashboard and the various minor elements that

distinguish the M38A1 from the CJ-5.

The body is rust and Bondo free, with a single patch panel having been applied to the

right rear quarter where the CJ-5 spare tire mount originally was. Paint is O.D. Green

While not an original M38A1, almost every effort has been made to replicate the M38A1

military vehicle design. This Jeep has been converted to a 12 volt electrical system and

completely rewired. There are several distinct advantages to the CJ-5 body, including

an opening tailgate (eliminated on the M38A1), under seat tool box, cabin heater,

electric windshield wiper (driver side only), lighter rate spring packs (better ride) and

cheaper replacement part costs.

Details normally found on the M38A1, but missing on this example, include: the

machine gun mounting reinforcements found on the underside of the body tub, the

military trailer light plug, the under cowl battery tray (the access port cover is there), passenger side straps, 4 ½” fuel

tank filler and the top bow brackets.

Details:

CJ-5 engine

Dana T90A-1 3-speed transmission

Dana model 18 transfer case (twin stick)

Dana 27 front axle w/Warn hubs

Dana 44 rear axle

M38A1 dash board

M38A1 parking brake system

Non-directional lug tires (all excellent except the spare (sun cracked)

3 genuine military rims

2 period civilian rims

Jerry can and mount

Registered as a 1960 CJ-5. This is VERY IMPORTANT to any Colorado residents as

Colorado PROHIBITS the REGISTRATION AND USE of any military vehicle sold as

surplus, on streets and highways that fall under the jurisdiction of the State of

Colorado.

See the law here: https://dmv.colorado.gov/military-vehicles

Other states may also have such a prohibition on the books! Do your research! This

vehicle is legal and can be registered in all 50 states.

The price is $7500.00 and is located in Cortez, Colorado (4 Corners Region).

The original engine, trans, transfer case, front and rear axles are also available for an

additional $1000.00. (or offered as a separate purchase).

Have numerous additional Jeep parts (CJ2A, MB/GPW, aftermarket). Inquire with your needs via Craigslist, through this ad.

ATTENTION: IN ORDER TO THAWART SCAMMERS, PLEASE INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING NUMERICAL SEQUENCE SOMEWHERE IN YOUR RESPONSE: SEVENNINESEVENNINESIXTWOFIVE. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN YOUR INQUIRY BEING IGNORED!!!! THANK YOU.
