Search: half cab

UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**

Needs work.

"I bought this last spring from the estate of a guy that owned a trucking company here. He had this at his ranch for years and just used it for fencing in the rough country and in the summer had a fire fighting outfit that he slid in the box. I doubt that it was off his place more than a dozen times in all the years he owned it. He died and I bought this and a Willys pickup, a 58, that I also have for sale.

The son told me they hadn't started this since Don died and maybe a couple years before that as he was sick for quite awhile. But the tires were up, it had a 5 year old battery in it and cranked right over once we replaced the battery and got some gas to the carb. The engine runs great, smooth and quiet, oil pressure is good. Radiator had antifreeze, etc. The only real problems were that the carb leaked gas pretty bad and the choke cable was sticky. I got a kit to rebuild the carb and will do that before this leaves or include the kit, what ever you want. It has NO brakes. Haven't fooled with them. I've just been driving it around the ranch, don't need brakes.

The is probably as close to an original, rust free 1960 FC as you are ever going to find. The cab corners are good, the floors are good -- some surface rust but not much else - the box is solid, the rear bumper is solid and protected the fenders, etc. Tires are pretty nasty, you'll need new ones. It has a couple extra wheels with it.

Its going to need some work, it has a couple dents here and there including the driver's door one they all have and fair smack on the side of the cab roof. Not hard to fix but it is there.

AS near as I can tell it is almost totally original, they added an alternator and cut the engine hump a little to make clearance, the floor mats are worn out and there is a rip in one seat. The windshield is good, which doesn't mean it's perfect. Drivers side window is plexiglas or something. Not glass.

Take a look at the photos and see what you think. Jump in and bid or hit the buy it now. Shipping out of Montana is not all that expensive to most places, you can probably ship this anywhere in the US for under $1000. Or hook up your trailer and come get it. I will never have time to do anything with it, I have half a dozen Willys pickups and Jeeps and need to thin the herd. Doing up a CJ2A with my 15 year old in her school colors, that's taking about all the time I have for old Jeeps.

I have a clear current Montana title in my name along with a set of Montana personalized plates that say 60FC170. I got those when I thought I was going to get it running and driving this summer.

Some of these photos were taken the day I got it, I've cleaned it up some since then. If you want more photos you can email me and I'll try to get them to you."

1958 Willys Jeep CJ-6 $3,000 Manteca, CA

Now this is cool if it's legit and I hope that it is. CJ-6, good price looks solid in most areas, has that 0-9 transition period speedo which I like, its beyond rough looking but still a cool piece.

Anyone else catch that post about this style speedo that was stolen from a USPS shipment and it was found on eBay, they are just too unique to have a near perfect one out there they really stand out amongst the crowd IMO. As far as some super rare unobtanium deal, NO, and my opinion is one of rare does not equal valuable. If anything rare stuff is a liability at times.

OK back to this rig, I could use this for a project…. But you are always better to buy the best example you can afford. It’s cool mostly due to the price point and you can do some basic clean up and probably have a nice safe, running, and driving project for under $10k. Line-X or anything can be tricky if put over rust, I doubt its physically Line-X because that stuff is the real deal. Hopefully its just the FLAPS rubber in a can that peels right off.

The half cab is also a cool feature.

Information from seller:

1958 Willys jeep CJ6. This is a CJ6, which is about 2 foot longer wheel base than a CJ5. It has a painless wiring harness and converted to 12 volt system. I have a new steel gas tank as well for it. I was going to use it for hunting but lost interest. Also has Line X throughout interior. It currently doesn’t run but ran when parked. Needs new brake cylinders and fuel line

UPDATE: As of July 13, 2021, this GPW APU is now in Stefan's hands in Germany. As you can see, by the time he acquired it parts had already been removed (see original post from 2017 at the bottom of this post). He does not want the APU parts. I figured it is a long shot, but that I would check to see if anyone had an interest in the APU-related parts (some are O.E. Szekely); Stefan is willing to part with them.  Comment below if interested or email me at d@deilers.com and I'll connect you with Stefan.

Here's how the jeep looked prior to pulling the parts:

Here are the parts related to the PTO:

PTO APU Cover:

Szekely Data Plate:

PTO Electrical Unit:

Instruments:

Modified Hood:

=========================

Original Post Dates January 21, 2017: Nick spotted this very interesting early APU conversion of a GPW by O.E. Szekely that is for sale at D&L Bensinger. A Worman hardtop was added to this APU jeep at some point; must have been part of the conversion in 1947.

Nick, who's become very knowledgeable on the APU jeep, noted that the GPW was "converted to an APU in 1947. To date, this is the only Line Maintenance GPW survivor. This specific model is "B" and the generator outputs 28.5 DC volts for starting jet aircraft. These retrofitted Jeeps served as prototype models to the later 2A/3A's. Nearly all the equipment is present. The only part I can see is missing from the photos is the wire reel. Notice how the governor system appears to be under the carburetor, and the hood is modified above it."

Here's the ad info: "This is a late war GPW. Vehicle hasn't been run for over 10 years. Body is rusted. Has one rear axle shaft broken. This jeep came from Omsted AFB in Harrisburg, PA which closed in 1969. It was modified in Philadelphia with Flight Line Maintenance Generator Set. In 30 years of jeep collecting, I've never seen another jeep with this equipment. GPW still shows yellow paint inside and a radio mike on the shop-made aluminum half cab. The cable reel to aircraft is missing as are some other parts of the kit. This is a great project for someone who wants an air field jeep."

TJ shared this truck with a 1982 2.3 liter Peugot engine in it and featured on Barn Finds a couple days ago. It lacks four wheel drive due to non-matching RP ratios in the front and back.

https://portland.craigslist.org/clc/cto/d/portland-1962-willys-jeep-pickup-turbo/6773827527.html

"Let's start with some bad.
No front drive line for four wheel drive because it has non matching gearing between front and rear axle.
Passenger floorboard has holes, big enough for a big toe to fit in.
Heater core has pinhole leak so it steams up the cab, currently bypassed.

Some good.
2.3l turbo diesel from 1982 peugeot 505s.
Bosch mechanical fuel injection.
Garret turbo.
Achieves 25 mpg city.
Capable of freeway speeds, but it takes a while(1st gear 10-20,2nd gear 20-30, 3rd 30-60, redline 85mph calculated)
20 gal aluminum fuel tank, 500 mile range.
Custom adapter for jeep t15 3 speed transmission.
Dana 44 rear axle 3.90 limited slip from full size jeep truck, with rebuilt brakes.
New brake lines front to back.
All new wiring and fuse box.
Wipers converted to 2 speed electric.
33 inch mud and snow tires.
Custom rear driveline.

Currently my daily driver this past year, conversion from to 2wd drive, Ford v8, 3 speed automatic to turbo diesel 3 speed manual, took a year and a half slowly over weekends.
I've owned this pickup for a little over four years and I'm only selling to fund all my other projects, as such I'm not looking for any trades, and since it is my daily driver and it is cold outside I'm not in a hurry to sell.
If the ad is up I still have it. I am available weekday evenings, and weekends for showing. I can meet at Fred Meyers on 82nd and Johnson Creek Blvd in front of the Garden center."

UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500.

Ted's got this 3A for sale.

https://nh.craigslist.org/cto/d/willys-jeep-for-sale-1951/6747560299.html

"For Sale is a 1951 Willys Jeep CJ3A. Original Motor ,Drive Train , Transmission ,Transfer Case etc. Hurricane Flat Head L Head motor. Starts ,runs, drives and stops. Original six volt electrical system still charging battery, Brand new 8 Volt battery starts great and runs well. Could use some plugs and wires at some point but runs good.Headlights work, Horn works. Still pulling fuel from original tank which looks nice and clean and fuel pump as well.

Front Frame horns are in good shape and not all beat up. Original 3A windshield frame is in very good condition with vent door working properly. Frame is solid with no major issues. Passenger front leaf spring pack has a few broken springs but I will be including a nice original replacement spring pack and u bolts. I be-leave Ive got the original oil bath air cleaner as well as some other extra parts that will be included also.

Three of the four rims on this Jeep look like there M38 Military wheels and I think Ive got a fourth somewhere I will include. Original body is kinda rough and has been patched over the years but I have seen much worse that's for sure, rear tub area floors are still pretty solid.This Jeep would make a great restoration candidate with a new body or give it a little tlc and drive and enjoy it like it is. Would make a great yard Jeep, Hunting / Camp Jeep etc. Jeep comes with period correct 3A Half Cab Hard Top, and I think Ive got the doors as well. Would be a great Father and Son or Daughter Winter project and with it already starting, driving and stopping Id say its a pretty good start.Jeep comes with a State of CT Bill of Sale"

Bill shared this nice looking Commando.

"Dressed in white with red trim, this Jeepster cuts a clean, classic look from its six-bar grille to its narrow taillights. The bodywork is straight and solid, the engine bay is extremely tidy, the cargo area is clean with a spray-on liner and the chrome bumpers fit tightly to the body. There is new weatherstripping, a full-size spare tire and wheel in the forward end of the cargo bay, just aft of the cab.

This Jeepster has new Kumho RoadVenture AT51 light truck tires, size 215/75R15 at every corner. Each tire is mounted on a steel wheel with original wheel covers. The tires are in very good order while the wheel covers look great! Speedo/odo are inop. This Jeepster rides a 101-inch wheelbase and has a 4,200 GVWR.

Under the double latched hood is the optional Dauntless V-6. At 225 CID. Which has been built according to the prior owner. It's the engine General Motors sold to Kaiser-Jeep in 1965 and it has a much heavier flywheel to mask vibrations from the engine's firing pattern. When Jeep was sold to AMC, the engine tooling remained with the company until 1974. Backing this engine is a three-speed manual transmission with a two-speed Dana 20 transfer case, Warn manual front locking hubs and a 3.73:1 rear end. In front is a Spicer Model 27 axle with a Spicer Model 30 axle out back.

Inside, the refurbished interior is as spartan as one would expect from a late 1960s Jeep. A pair of newly reupolstered black bucket seats are in excellent overall shape with a black floormat beneath and separate floormats for driver and passenger. The headliner is in fine order, as is the aftermarket, three-spoke steering wheel. The white, metal dashboard with black top is in very good condition, as are the white doors. Floor-mounted shift and transfer case levers help complete the interior."

Looks good.

"Here is a very complete mostly original CJ5. I believe it received a frame-off restoration in the 1980s. Judging by the engine swap, and the quality of paint both on the exterior as well as under the tub body. The frame is rock solid. Top speed is around 45mph-50mph from the factory. Not suitable for the highway. I have driven it a few hundred miles around town with no mechanical problems.

Almost 100% solid body - Small patch under tool box, rust spot near driver's fender. Some body damage on driver's rear quarter. Small amount of rust at bottom of tailgate.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $19,995.

Ken shared this rare Jeepster SC-1 Sport Commando. This one has had some mods. You can learn more about them in the Motor Trend article: https://www.motortrend.com/features/1710-1971-jeepster-sc-1-hurst-commando/

"This 1971 Jeepster Commando SCI and the 1971 Jeepster Hurst Edition were built for only a couple of months or so making them the rarest Jeeps ever built. Only around 300 of each were ever built and around 125 Hurst Editions are known to exist and less SC1’s are known to survive making it the rarest Jeep known.

I bought it pretty much as is a few years ago adding the wheels and tires. Everything mechanical was rebuilt like the V6 engine and upgraded in horsepower with 4bbl carb, turbo 400 tranny both rear end and front end. Power Steering and Power brakes were added and an aftermarket stereo replaces the original radio and unfortunately small refinements were made to the dash to get an earlier edition radio to fit.

Less than 1600 miles on the restoration. An original radio is included. It features an extremely light one man removeable custom half cab top and roll up tonneau cover. It is extremely roadworthy and will go down the road at highway speed all day long. I had the original paint pro detailed when I first got it and the shine is beautiful with all the jeep lifestyle scratches and dents it has accumulated over its jeep life.

I was going to have the front fender dent repaired, but after the detail, I decided against it. They are only original once and it is shiney and beautiful to me. IT JUST LOOKS RIGHT!!!. When, if ever, have you seen one. You can’t go anywhere without someone wanting to talk to you. The eyeball on this rig is amazing. It just looks right. It has been my honor to have this SC1 and I hate to see it go, but we are downsizing and it is time to let someone else enjoy it. $19995. I can only communicate by phone, so if you are interested."

UPDATE: Still Available.

(03/03/2016) Runs and plows.

"I have for sale, a 1953 Willys Jeep CJ-3b. It has a great running F-Head 134 with new head gasket, water pump, Solex carb, mechanical fuel pump, hoses, distributor, plugs, wires, oil and filter cleaning, I also have a electric fuel pump wired inline on the fuel hose. Could use a tappet adjustment and I will do that, once the weather warms a bit. It has been rebuilt by the prior owner and has only a few miles on the 30 over motor. Starts and runs strong. New Interstate battery and cables.

The frame on this 3b is in great shape with no rust, just some small surface stuff. The clutch and brakes are fine and work as they should. Pedals are were they are supposed to be . Brakes also have been recently done, with new wheel cylinders, shoes and lines. Hood, fenders and grill are not rusted at all and are in great shape. Half cab is very nice and not rusted out. Windshield frame is real solid and not rusted. I have new in box, wiring harness, windshield seals, both windshield and bottom of cowl.

The suspension is very straight and is not junk. What this 3b could use is a new tub or rebuild of this tub. Floors are rusted through. Its a pretty solid tub, but needs work. So if you purchased a new tub for aprox. 2500, you could finish a complete restoration after just cleaning and painting the frame and axles, install new tub and have a great running and straight Willys cj3b. I have used this around the farm this winter with the little plow on it, but plow and winch not going with it. Axles are nice and straight and not leaking anything.

This was well taken care of. Dana 41 rear and 27 front axles. Good steering as well. Come and get it. I just have too many Jeeps right now and I just bought another, so one has to go. This was a planned restoration and sale of over 15K. It has 1961 running gear. $4000.00 takes it and you can drive it on the trailer. No electrical right now other than a starting system. Starts right up and runs good. Could use a new starter, but works for now.

The transmission is the T-90 and the transfer case is a D18 with twin sticks and both shift nice and smooth with no issues. Just a real nice mechanical condition jeep waiting for a good person to restore it. I think the gear ratio is 538's but not 100 % sure on that. I have a used windshield that will go with it, I also am including the new 6 gallon boat fuel tank. The original fuel tank was rusty and thrown out. New wiring harness alone is $400 and included.

Come drive it around the farm and look at it, you see how nice it really is for the money. located in western Mass. in Chester 01011. No shipping, but will help you the best I can. Local delivery possible, but not across the state, unless you want to pay $1.00 per miles, round trip. Thanks for looking and this is a great little jeep."
