UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was For Trade.

It’s a project.

“I’ve got this cool old truck ive been tinkering on for a year now. Ive replaced various things and though it runs good when it runs, i just can’t get it right. Its got lots of rust and some body damage but all the parts are there except for the bed. Original gas tank was hopeless so it’s running off a fuel cell. Its got 2 inch wheel spacers to accommodate the larger tires but still have the original rims. Its a one ton.
This truck would make a really cool hunting rig or just something to drive around in the mountains if you want to put the work into it. It IS a project. They’re quite rare. Have clean title in hand.

Id like to trade this for a good running 3/4 ton or better truck.
The bigger the better, needs to pull a travel trailer. Im open to an suv or even a van if its heavy and in good shape.
I don’t know what the truck’s worth but i dont want to trade for anything with major issues. I don’t mind something ugly. Just depends what it’s worth to you. Please send pics. Thanks for reading.”

Sides are rough according to seller.

“This is a world war II jeep tub. Good for parts or for a retro rockcrawler project. no data plates, no script, 1943 or 44.
tub sides are bondo. looks good in the picture but sides are rough. cowl is great. floor is rusty. This is a fab situation, not bolt on.
I will help you load this or deliver locally if necessary. i can’t help you if your wife gets mad. mine will be happy its found a new home.

Not sure how much value is here.

“high hood jeep. just a roller no motor no trans all original. body is kinda rough. very little rust. have fenders and an extra grille for it too.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.

It’s a parts jeep. There could be some value here.

“1956 Willys Jeep CJ2A for parts or restoration if you are ambitious. This was originally used at the airport as a baggage conveyor in the 50’s and 60’s. It was running as late as 1995. The passenger side of the body was modified for the conveyer. The engine, transmission, transfercase, front axle, steering, brakes, frame seat, gas tank and dash are intact. The rear end has been removed but there is one loose that appears to be for a Jeep. It comes with original documents and bill of sale from the airport. It was not titled since it was not intended to be driven on the street. You will receive a bill of sale. You will need to be able to load it onto a trailer for transport.

Email if interested and for more information. We will be available Friday 9/30 to 10/2 and can show it at that time. It is located near downtown Eugene. ”

On Monday we hung around the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Today we are heading for Baton Rouge, Louisiana. (See Monday’s post here: http://www.ewillys.com/2016/09/26/goodbye-west-texas-hello-wet-texas/)

On Monday I had a carefully orchestrated plan, had being the operative word. Things went awry early in the morning. First, was learning that the Cowgirl museum and Bowling museums in Fort Worth were closed on Mondays. Drats! Then, someone who she remained unnamed announced she didn’t want to go to any more museums. Oh, the joys of travel companions! But, then we discovered that the Fort Worth Bureau of Engraving and Printing was open on weekdays. Everyone was fine with that, so we were off (two hours later than planned).

Before visiting the mint, we decided to head downtown Fort Worth while traffic was light to see the Fort Worth Water Gardens. They turned out to be really cool!

We are heading to Baton Rouge on an unexpected adventure. More on our adventure tomorrow.

Meanwhile, I found this at a nearby Buc-ees.

…. I managed to schedule this morning’s update on the wrong date. And, it was just the simple update below:

We hada very slow start yesterday for reasons that shall remain in confidence due to the sensitive nature of the person who slowly gotready, delaying our departure, and who was not Ann nor I. The slow departurekept us from spending as much time as we’d hoped in downtown Fort Worth. More on that tomorrow.

Later on in the day, the two fast morning-dressers went out on their ownand had a lovely afternoonmeeting with Jesse and Andrea Ybarra, then a wonderful dinner with my niece, who is feeling the affects of being away from home as a Freshman in college. Our timing with her couldn’t have been better.

When we returned to the motorhome, I received an email that may lead toan incredible jeep-related opportunity, which couldchange our travel plans slightly. I’ll know morelater today.

However, right now (that would be late Monday evening) I’m exhausted, so this is the only post for Tuesday morning. Stayed tuned …. I will post Tuesdayafternoonifour travel plans change.

An August 20, 1954, article in the Toledo Bade discussed Kaiser-Willys upcoming demonstrations at 23 major fairs in 15 states. The article included a photo of a Jeep-a-Trench Trencher.

Bill spotted this 3B. It appears to havea classic California jeeping bumper. I ran across an ad for these in one of my old Four Wheeler magazines.

“Willy’s Jeep CJ 3B. 20 miles on rebuilt motor, new tires & wheels, new seats, set up to tow, new wiring, new fuel system and new break setup”

Today we drove from Lubbock to Dallas, leaving behind the dry west Texas for nearly continuous rain. (See Saturday’s Trip from New Mexico| )

We left ourWalmart “camp site”, which proved to be quiet and restful for the four hours I slept, at the break of dawn. I wanted to push us a bit, because I felt Abilene would take a few hours to see and we also had to rent a carand locate an RV park for the next two night. I’ll just say it right now: traveling in our jeep and using motels is SOOOOO much easier than dealing with this big motorhomefor multiple reasons. Sure, we can save money a few nights staying at Walmarts (or state parks, some of which allow free camping due to Ann’s disability status). However, eventually we have to shower, especially in all this humid weather. I sweat just thinking about getting out of bed!

Anyhow, I digress. As we left the Walmart parking lot we quickly ran across this oddly named place: Bone Daddys. We weren’t sure whether it was a BBQ restaurant or some kind of sex shop. It sure was colorful on the outside!

Almost immediately after Lubbock we hit rain,light in some cases, heavier in others, that trailed us into Abilene.

Fortunately, the rain stopped just long enough to let us look around the Storybook gardenarea of downtown Abilene where we took these photos.We had the whole place to ourselves (Abilene is dead on Sunday mornings, which is great for parking the motorhome!

We (Ann, I, and her mother Rosemary) began yesterday’s trip fromTularosa, New Mexico to Lubbock, Texas, by saying our goodbyes to Ann’s aunt and uncle. They weregood sports about the “Secret Caravan” descending upon them. With that successful venture behind us, we hit the road for Abilene, though we didn’t quite make it that far. A Going Out of Business sale at Hastings was partly responsible for that, but more on that later.

Our first stop was the local Lowes grocery store in Tularosa. We HAD to buy some frozen green chiles to bring back to Washington State with us. I can’t wait to make Chile Verde with them.

Soon, we were back in the motorhome.It was a beautiful drive up toRuidoso (7000ft), then down to the “alien” town of Roswell, where Ann had one finalMcDonalds’ biscuit sandwich with chiles. She can’t eat the english muffins, but I can :-).

Next it was on to aging town of Tatum, where Roadside America assured us were some metal sculptures. This pair of jeeps were the first two “metal sculptures” we saw:

The sculptures weren’t quite as impressive as those in California’s Borrego Springs, but they were still pretty cool, especially the cacti. Made out of 3/8″ steel plates, they were sturdy, but so were the prices!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.

(08/13/2016) Dan spotted this truck named “Mona”.

“With a very sad heart I am putting up for sale my 60 willys pickup, “Mona”. I have to many projects and to much credit card debt so I am letting her go. I did a frame off restoration on Mona in 2009. At the time I replaced every thing to original shape accept the seats and pedals. It has ford hydraulics in it so it has dual reservoir brakes. all gauges work but at the time the original fuel and temp are disconnected for after market gauges. At the time of the restoration I only did a minor engine rebuild, rings, cylinders, lapped valves and new seals and gaskets. So for the past 7 years I have driven her on weekends and plowed my drive way in the winter, took trips to the hills or dump. I have put about 3500 miles on it.

She starts and runs every day rain or shine, hot or cold. It does leak as every willys does so you have to watch the oil. The paint has faded, it has surface rust on the frame, springs and a few spots on the body but this is one of the straightest and cleanest willys pickups your will find. It also has a dual gas tank control and I have an extra tank for it to install. The tank in it is a new plastic willys tank. This is a very tough decision for me to let go so if you are thinking i am going to drop the price and wheel and deal, don’t waist your time. I am an avid willys owner and I know what the value of this truck is and it is more than I am asking.”

Hasn’t run in ten years.

“1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A. My Dad had this jeep since the 50s and I bought it from him. It ran well when I stopped driving her in 2005 but I have not had it running since. Wouldn’t take much to get her going. Have clear title in hand. Needs new gas tank/battery/tires. Could be a great little jeep again.”
