New addition to the fleet

Post by jbjeeps »

It's not an M, but, I like it! Bought it from the grandson of the long time owner, the family story is that it started out as a forest service Jeep over in Wyoming and grandpa bought it in the early 70's. It has definitely been rode hard and put away wet many times. Six different colors on it, original color was dark green. 16" Ford wheels on the rear, KH on the front. Rough and rusty, but complete. It's going to have to sit until next summer while we finish the work on the '63 this winter.

1956 CJ-6 w/ stock running gear, including original 6 volt. It "ran when we parked it". The engine is free but we haven't tried to start it.

Thanks guys. Yes, I like the half cabs too. I bought one last year and tried to put it on the A1, but never could get it to fit properly.
