(01/14/2017) ooks like it has CJ-2A front frame rails.

I can’t tell what type of front hubs this has. What is the switch on the driver’s entry (see interior pic)? Maybe a kill switch?

“Fully restored M38 army jeep

Sale will only be done face to face with purchaser”

Seems like it is missing an oil filter.

“1947 cj2a. Runs and drives. New carb, gas tank lines and pump. Front brakes, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, shoes and lines. Water pump, thermostat, hoses. Too much to list. 12v system. Rewired new resister and alternator. Took the points out of the distributor and installed magnetic hot spark system to make it like a solid state distributor. Runs and drives.

The lights on the grille must give the jeep a weird look as it comes toward you at night. Rear cargo floor has been replaced/patched.

“Works good, contact only if interested. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.

Could be a good price. Looks more like a civilian trailer to me.

“Old military ammo trailer has new tires and lights has very little rust asking $400”

UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $4500.

Seller notes there are only five of these trailers in the US. (Jeep not for sale)

“selling my wwii British airborne trailer(Number 1 Mark II Lightweight 10-cwt Airborne Trailer). I can deliver for extra fee, I am within 3hr to Newark NJ docks for overseas shipping.
There are only five, yes 5 of these trailers in the USA(I know all the other owners)
Trades will be considered, firearms preferred. Was restored about 4-5yrs ago, some very minor holes, I didn’t want to re skin the entire trailer taking away from its originality. Brakes not assembled due to the fact that they had a tendency to actuate while in transit, with a possibility of locking up and possibly creating a accident situation.
A great trailer to complete their british airborne impression.

**Jeep in photos NOT INCLUDED OR FOR SALE!**”

Seller lists this as a CJ-3A, but it appears to be a CJ-2A.

“No title rolling chassis was redone several years ago n never finished including engine rebuild it’s all there with extra grill n fiberglass fenders may trade for 80s ford diesel 4×4 with c6 trans”

http://athensohio.craigslist.org/cto/5976668031.html

It’s got rear floaters. It just might have an MB/GPW chassis. Looks to have a replacement body.

“Too many projects too little time. Include second grill, and set of fenders. I believe the owner before me started restoring and didn’t get far. From what I can tell new front and rear axles. I have signed not transferred title in hand. It’s at my business but is personally for sale. Obviously some rust but most are just light surface, to my knowledge the pan is in good shape.
There is a 4 cylinder engine under the hood – but not running.’

http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/5974726190.html

Listed as a 1945 CJ-2A, it looks more like a 3A to me. It has a 3Aish front bumper and transfercase crossmember. It also has the later oil filter bracket.

“This is a great project Jeep. I own many jeeps and need to get a few irons out of the fire. Structurally sound! Transmission is good, Dana twin stick is good , axles all roll great as well. Motor is locked up. This would make a great present for the Jeep person in your life!”

“This is a 1944 GPW Ford made WW2 Jeep with clean title. I fully rebuilt this jeep in 2012 with a frame off restoration.

The engine, clutch and transmission have been professionally rebuilt. 4×4 works perfectly. I have over 400 documented hours into the restoration, and I’ve spent 1/3 more than the asking price. its had over 1200 trouble free miles since its restoration.
This restoration uses the original tub, frame, parts and sheet metal. Reproduction parts have been kept to a minimum but include hat channels and a little sheet metal. It has all of the original Ford WW2 engine and drivetrain, axles, driveshafts, etc.

Needs some work.

Not a whole lot of value here.

(11/10/2016) “Might consider trading off my 54 CJ3B. I’m not desperate to get rid of it, just testing the waters.

Front lockers
Rebuilt motor (F-134)
Current registration
Clean title
New brakes
Heater recored
Not much rust
Gas tank rust treated and sealed.
Front tow bar
Rear set up for towing.
5.38 gearing
Running driving project.
Leak at exhaust manifold
Will need tires soon.
Leaky rear axle seal (might fix soon)

It has its ups and downs but keep in mind it is from 1954. No, it won’t do 60 mph.
Considering trading for a bigger 4×4. (Or even a Jeep with a top!)”

Jason Potts, out of Burnettsville, Indiana, shared a couple photos of his Willys Dually project, so I asked him where he found his adapters and how he got into jeeps.

Of the truck adapters he wrote, “The adapters came from Hank himself. With the original bed rusting out on me, I bought the flatbed knowing someday the original would go bad. I had a local welder cut the length of the bed down 22 inches. The black locust was cut out of my family’s woods and milled at a relatives mill. I live in an apartment and the truck is currently stored in an enclosed metal barn and will see a garage again in the spring to continue work. The motor is a 232 out of a 70’s CJ and is being rebuilt.”

Then he shared his jeep history. “Originally my dad bought a 63 Cj5 at an implement auction and we used it to get around on county roads for fishing, hunting, and for other adventures. I was in my early teens at the time. In the early spring of 2004 (Junior in high school) a culvert washed out down the road from our house forcing myself and my dad to find alternate ways to work and school. His route took him past a place that had the 54 Willys and knowing I wanted a truck he told me about it. I bought the truck for $1500 and had to buy an electrical kit for it as its wires were all the same color and no lights worked. After about 2 months it became road legal and I started driving it to school.

Senior year of high school I was still driving it. Ever since owning it, the truck always smoked and was burning through oil at such a fast rate I eventually had to put the hottest burning spark plugs and plug extensions on just to keep up, in the end I resorted to using used tractor oil. The truck got 27 miles to the quart of oil. For a long distance football game I burned through 9 quarts of oil and $27 in gas.

Through the years since I have owned/or still own a 92 Jeep Cherokee, 66 Cj5, 75 Cj5, and a 95 Wrangler. Not to be outdone my older and little brothers also bought Jeeps. Older brother bought an 88 Wrangler and little brother has bought 2 Cherokee Country’s (both were previously rolled and used as trail rigs), a 47 Cj2A and a 65 CJ5.”
