commander Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Rick was it the one up in Yorkshire you are on about I spoke to the seller about the jeep and there was a lot missing Commander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Yes I think it was up in Yorks. Body looked fairly complete, all running gear etc. Still seemed like a bargain though. Had a Ford head on Willys block. What did the seller have to say about it? I thought it might have been post war, but the frame number says not.

It certainly wasn't 1943 it was missing its chassis tag but the body number, late drum handbrake & deep mud exhaust all pointed to it being late 1945 It also had a CJ air filter Edited December 27, 2008 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
