Bob just forwarded this link. Here's a column shift, dual PTO, CJ-2A with a post hole digger and a bed extender. It look slike there is a little rust, but doesn't look too bad. This may have some early Cutlas hubs, too (I can't quite tell).
"this is a good running CJ2A willys. the original Jeep starts every time 3 speed on the column tires are like new. back seat along with the extras are in storage. i can get pictures of those soon. has some rust but a good starter project. hood, tailgate and windshield frame are all fairly clean. also comes with a post hole digger and bed extender the accessories are PTO driven and the PTO works the winch is also run from the PTO 33O-685-O996 or can be seen at: Johnson Motors,Inc. 3034 LIncolnway E. Massillon, OH 44646"
I know for sure it is rare, it is the only 1 I made. There were some Extended cab Jeep pickups made/sold in Australia, and I have seen pics of 1 prototype in the state, but this is a 1 of a kind.

Randy emailed me this morning with some great family pics. Here's a little bit about Randy and a variety of pics. He says we can expect a few irregular reports from the Austin area as he often spots flatfenders around there. I learned how to drive in a '48 CJ2A when I was 12 years old and thus started my "addiction" to Willys. I'm now 54 and still love 'em. I moved to the Austin TX area a few years back and have a small ranch; So, of course, I knew what I needed in terms of utility vehicles. I have a '48 CJ2A that is all original and records for it since 1967. The hardtop and extended bed are from a company in Houston, both are Koenig. I've not seen another Willys with the extended bed [ED NOTE: Here's some info about extended beds from the CJ-3B Page]. I use the '48 to go to the feed store and drive around town.
My other jeep is a '54 CJ3B which is non licensed. It's a bit rough, but starts and drives great.
I have attached a picture of the Eifel Tower I took a couple years ago in the Crown Room in Paris. It's a picture of a picture.
As I was deciding what pics to send I discovered I have MANY pics of different family members, friends, animals and more with a Willys in them. It seems I just realized my Jeeps are indeed a part of the family. The jeeps earn their keep and are always a hit. I've taught a number of young folks how to drive a standard in these, and hope in some way I have started a passion for Willys as it did for me some 42 years ago!
The head is off. This does look like a good restoration candidate.
"Willys Jeep 1951 CJ3A. Needs to be restored. Cylinder head off and present. Great body, frame, windshield and seats. Little to no rust on under body. After market extended back bed, easy to remove but a rare find. Restored jeeps like this sell for 6000.00 and up. 2500.00"
Seller is hoping to trade for a truck. This includes power lock hubs and a bed extension. I'm not sure what the "gentlemen" comment means, but perhaps it's not so much a gender issue as it is a politeness issue?
"Trade 1951 Willys CJ3A for nice Truck. 51 Willys is 99.9% complete and runs excellent. This offer is extended to gentlemen only. If you have a nice girly 4X4 pickup (for my wife) of equal or greater value with a possible cash bump either direction than call me."
"This CJ2 runs great and is in very good condition. The engine was overhauled less than 1000 miles ago. It has new wiring harness and has been converted from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system. Notice in the picture of the vehicle that it has a 25 inch bed extension. Also, note the picture of the power takeoff (PTO) which runs the mower. It has a title and is licensed and is considered a 1/4 Ton pickup.
Extra parts include: Model 90 shifter Tow bar Grill protector Tailgate Fenders Front seats Hot water heater Four brake pads Six wheels and tires Used motor"
"1949 Jeep Willys CJ3A. Power PTO on rear end, factory bed extender, all original. We are only the third owner. Runs great and in excellent condition."
We hit our goal on Monday of seeing three car museums in Indiana and enjoying lunch with Steve at an old fashioned diner called Schoops. The downside was . . . when we tried to leave Indiana, we encountered road construction and blocked traffic (I-80 westbound was standstill). What should have taken an hour and a half took three hours. We went right to bed and just woke up a little bit ago. So, there will likely be no updates today.
However, I do have this neat photo Randy shared. The wagon below may have been one of several (exactly how many we haven't determined) built by Kaiser for touring Hawaii. Note the four doors, extended bodies, and sun roofs.
"I have a tub, rear floor panel and a bed extender including a Willy's stamped original tailgate. These parts are all for a Willy's Cj3a jeep. The tub is in rough shape but definitely fixable. The rear floor pan is brand new never installed. The bed extension box is rare and in good shape as is the tailgate. I also have the tool box cover that goes under the passenger seat that will go to whom ever buys the tub. The tub was sandblasted and primed at local body shop. The floor panel is brand new and came ready to paint. The bed extension and tailgate were sanded a bit and rattle can primed. I am asking $750 for the tub. $250 for the floor panel and $500 for the bed box with tailgate. This will be a cash only, in person, you pick up sale."
