RESCUING 1940's Willys Jeeps with my Brothers! ~ Saving a Man's LIFETIME Collection of Willys!

[@thebenchmonkey4117]

C&C Equipment has the M38 body brand new for $2300. The Philippines still stamps all these old bodies.

[@-oiiio-3993]

MD Juan.

[@noelguerrero2770]

I assembled a MD Juan Wrangler replica in 1995. I still have it and now converting it to a California style. But at almost 70 years old, I cannot put in long hours anymore.

[@raytalbot5890]

C&C equipment has anything you need to rebuild a Jeep. Go see Diesel Creek lasted video when he & Letsdig18 go to C&C & get a tour 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@noelguerrero2770]

Agree. The company is MDJuan. I assembled a Wrangler using the company's body/chassis kit in 1992.

[@keithprine8981]

Like a candy land of jeeps. I'm 55 and wanted one my whole life congrats.

[@kahutochishisumi9056]

I'm 57 and from Nagaland, India, and I grew up around these Willys Jeeps. I currently own a 1963 Willys CJ 5 M38A1 (US Marine Corps Edition). Sadly I can no longer obtain the parts for the engine, transmission and differentials. So I've swapped all the running parts and installed Mahindra diesel engine, transmission and diffs.

[@1978garfield]

Diesel swap Jeeps are amazing! A popular swap in the US is a 4 cly Cummins engine. Mahindra used to be a contractor of Willys so that is a perfectly acceptable swap IMHO.

[@simplegreen6596]

Two men had their best Jeep days of their lives. One got rid of em all, and one got them all.... Its a jeep thing.

[@michaelhoward1900]

Love this rescue! I'm 68 and grew up watching all the movies and TV shows full of Jeeps.

[@troybaker1099]

Dude the copper coloured jeep is a post war farm jeep. It’s got the pto in the rear for attachments for farming. Willys marketed these jeeps to farmers like tractors basically. Super cool to see

[@francisbarbeau1862]

A fellow You tuber(C&C equipment) carries the tubs for ALL of your jeeps!! Those jeeps bring back alot of memories! Love the this episode! Keep them coming!

[@IR-nq4qv]

Even the jeep that's rusted out can be easily repaired since its all easy accessible flat floor panels. Nice barn find and so complete. What a treasure trove of inventory and envy to any collector /restorer.

[@hkeg80]

That would be an amazing father son(s) project, all 4 of you rolling down in a restored jeep each.

[@clivehorridge]

No floor can often be an easier job than repairing a rotted one. Great find and purchase 👍🏻 Greetings from Romania ❤️🇷🇴

[@WisconsinWanderer]

I’m pretty blown away by the amount of Jeep and Jeep parts that you got out of this stash, what a goldmine of a find. This will keep you busy and all of us very entertained for years to come. 😊thanks

[@JamesThomas-gg6il]

Wow Matt, so much to unpack in this one. First the military one with out the floor is an M 38. The red one is the civilian version of the M38a1, called a CJ5. Its am 81 inch wheel base A CJ6 has a 110 inch wheel base. One of those other may actually be a rare Tuxedo Park version. The one with th shifter on the column. As far as nodoby needing 6 jeeps, i beg to differ, at one time i have had over 20 in my possession. Still have two. Those parts could be a gold mine. Any future updates on them will be gladly watched. Be careful, JEEPs are very addicting.

[@-oiiio-3993]

Tuxedo Park models were CJ5a, introduced in 1961, and CJ6A models of model years 1966 - 68 (less than 500 CJ6A produced). Flatfendered Jeeps with column shift were the ultra rare CJ2 'Agri-Jeeps' of 1945 and early production CJ2A of 1945 - 46.

[@JosephRozum]

Good Morning Workshop , I am so glad to see you again today and I hope you are having a great day! It is 7:06 am my time here in AZ, US on 8/8/23 !

[@mrtank1967]

Very nice find. Rusty gold. Nice seeing those young lads learning and working hard. Good crew.

WOW What a GREAT Find Love My 1947 Willys Enjoy Whatching All Your Vidios AJ East,Texas

[@donaldshulman6771]

You really hit the mother lode. So many parts. I'm sure that there are at least 3 complete jeeps. This could be on of your best projects.

[@andreacrashe9894]

*I am so pleased that the previous owner finally contacted you after all this time... & that these 'Willys Jeeps' are now in safe hands... to get used again at some point. Shall be looking forward to seeing you getting them fixed up and running again. nz*

Great find and good to rescue them! Nice job with the whole crew! Thx for showing 👍👍👍

Just wow .Pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow 🎉

[@IoannisKokovidis]

Some 40 years before,I restored completely a CJ2A and used it as daily driver in Greece..Love them..Many good memories (and bad ones but who cared !!)..Thanks for the video ..

[@T_B]

That would have taken a month without those 3 corn-fed country boys with ya!! Those young men worked VERY WELL together. Very refreshing to see. Oh yeah, theJeeps kick ass, too! 💪

[@phillipjones3342]

Wow wow wow 5 willys I want to see all of them up and running soldier let's do it

[@gtnaylor5870]

So glad to hear from you again! I love this video and what you do saving the old iron. I envy you in a way. Wishing I was younger and able to do what you are doing. Anxiously waiting to the next chapter.

[@drone_nerd]

In 80's I learned how to drive in a 1942 "Jeep" Willys MB (old brother of those) all original. It's a brave WW2 veteran (with few bullets holes) and It have been in family for almost 60 years. Cheers from Brazil!

[@flynnanderson3736]

now that shed has a bit of stuff in it

[@daveharper5655]

That 555 is in great condition, I think this shows what basic maintenance to a piece of equipment can do later down the road. I like them. The jeeps are sweet as well.

[@jhonditch4269]

myron down the street ha a full body one always amazing to see

[@paulw3182]

You might want to reach out to various Willy's Jeep clubs and forums for information, on identification of parts and approaches to restoration. This project is a "content generator" and a wonderful purchase - worth every cent.

[@mauricekeithjohnson2598]

I'm simply blown away !!

[@orgcoast5990]

Boy-O-Boy A mid-20th century goldmine on wheels. Well done!

[@chuckthomas8176]

Ooh and those tractors . As a farmer now .. i love those tractors true work horse of my farm . What a blessing of find for u sir .. congratulations

[@chrisbirkenmaier5807]

Excellent show. Glad you had the space for everything

[@Chad93oleblue]

Also need to get in touch with Clint at C&C he stocks all the bodies and parts you may ever need!!

[@davetaylor4741]

What a score. They are such a classic shape. Where I live in Oz you would have a serious amount of monies worth. I know a guy down the road that has a lovely driveable restored version. Looking forward to seeing these come back to life.

[@rustygoldworkshop4672]

Looks like a great project for those 3 gentlemen that help you. Thanks for all that you do. 👍👍

[@paulw3182]

Wow what a great find! It would be great to see those jeeps restored.

[@chuckthomas8176]

Wow ! As a retired dav man . Iam envious. But that was a great discovery, congratulations sir . I will be following ur saving this beautiful jeeps .. 😢. Love ur channel ..

[@Chad93oleblue]

The old triple nickel was putting in work! Those old machines always seemed well built to me!

[@kevinshanklin3182]

You really know how to make my day for I love all the old American Jeeps .

[@63ciscokid]

Man, it would be SUPER FANTASTIC! if you would restore the military one to its original state, including paint, emblems, shovel, etc.

[@Skoalman]

I know you like to use original parts, but C&C Equipment has replacement parts for all of your jeeps. Hope that helps. Great video. I'm looking forward to seeing you get them going again. Thanks for sharing.

[@jimlong527]

I had a 1946 flat fender drove in the sixties in the mountains of Pennsylvania for years hated to get rid of it when we moved on in life. Thank you for saving them they deserve respect for what they did for America. Mostly all were made for the military.

[@CXensation]

WoooW ! Looking forward to watch over your shoulder reviving these old runners !

[@renem6441]

You will need at least one for each kid and one for you!! Amazing find that’s a lot of parts!! Thanks for sharing

[@richardbaumeister466]

I believe India has the rights to the old Jeeps. They are producing a version of the CJs. It's worth a look. It's called the Mahindra Roxor. I don't know if the parts are interchangeable but like I said its worth a look

[@classicgamer4451]

Iam really looking forward to seeing the restoration of some of these jeeps nice long videos please 👍

[@usernamesreprise4068]

As someone else pointed out Clint at C&C Equipment knows a guy who sells all the sheet metal to rebuild jeeps newly pressed in the Philippines....and if I'm not mistaken Clint carries some jeep body panels himself, these cars are so rare now it might be a good idea to get all those parts you have and refab and renovate them and advertise them for sale, it could repay what you paid for the whole job lot and then some, ha ha in two or three years time you might even become known as the go to Mr Jeep lol..

[@michaelnola7966]

C&C equipment has all your jeep needs

[@WalterMcWaters]

Just so you know, the one with the shifter on the steering shaft, if it is original, it is quite rare. From what I know! Hope you have fun!

[@garyjohnson4608]

Wow, where did you get all this stuff ? I am happy to see that you are making an effort to rescue and preserve these vehicles !!

[@CSltz]

Looks like C&C are getting a lot of thumbs up here. I’m going to have to visit there. I got a lot of my parts from Turner’s the Jeepster Man and Kaiser Willys. Plus a few others. I’m going to “crack” for my next habit. It’s got to be cheaper! Did you ever do videos on replacing individual parts? I’m having trouble getting the fuel pump to stay full after it starts, runs and then sits for a while in the garage. Good luck to you and may you be blessed with deep pockets 😂

[@Dagrond]

Massy Furgesum is the first thing I ever drove at age 8. Miss that tractor.

[@victorjenkins8783]

looks like a model 20 drove one a lot when i was a kid greetings from belgium.

[@d.r.ledbetter2286]

Those jeeps with the PTO on the back reminded me of an article I read some years back. After WWII the plethora of surplus jeeps were adapted to farming and light construction by a few companies that would make attachments for them. You scored big time with this deal.

[@notajp]

Yes, there was also a 3 point hitch that mounted in the bed for using mounted implements like plows. That PTO unit is fairly rare and highly desirable by collectors. After WW2, surplus jeeps were cheaper to buy than actual farm tractors, plus you could even drive the Jeep into town when you needed to.

[@-oiiio-3993]

There were front PTO units as well.

[@MrIRMOS]

I'm just a little bit envious,,, congratulations on saving these beauties...

[@larrydavidson3402]

You made a good purchase. Can't wait to see a couple of them being able to be put to use again.

[@oddtechman]

awesome looking set of classics there! Have a chat with Clint over at C&C Equipment and see if he can help with pointers etc.. he is a major jeep stockist and importer of the willys style stuff

[@LunkerFishing]

I think I heard one of the young men call you Dad? They were great workers. You could not have done any of this without their help. I am not much into Jeeps but, wow!

[@geraldguenard4095]

Congratulation on saving those old jewels.

[@zachingram7522]

Grandpa has an old ford 555 backhoe just like that one. I heard it running and new exactly what it was. Those are great machines.

[@Satchmojones]

Real jeepers in their native habitat...look at em go!

[@WillysWorldShow]

Yes. Save as many as you can. We are on the same mission. Best of luck.

[@BFVgnr]

That blue-grey jeep with the rotten floor is an old Navy jeep. Pretty cool find. That would be a great project.

[@markmilostan2493]

I didn't know jeeps had a shifter on the column. what an amazing time.

[@-oiiio-3993]

1945 and early 1946 CJ2A Jeeps had column shift as well as the ultra rare CJ2 'Agri Jeeps' of 1945 and 'Tuxedo Park' (CJ5A, CJ6A) editions of the 1960s. They were not produced in 1949.

[@tayro7265]

There are a couple of outfits that make everything from floor pans to entire bodies for those. Basically if you have a frame, you have a Jeep. O' yea, and a but-ton of money won't hurt.

[@stevesalvage1089]

Wow what a find , amazing Matt , yep just repair and save that's my thing too , thanks for sharing,

[@richardcline1337]

If you can find after market pans I would try to rebuild all of them, at least make the rollers so that someone else might be able to restore them, even number six that is basically a metal jigsaw puzzle now. There are plenty of newer Jeeps out there but these old classics deserve to be saved as much as possible. Great find!

[@billyhaddock5540]

Congrats Salvage Workshop, on buying those 5 1/2 Willy's Jeep's. will make a cool video's putting two Jeep's together.

[@rovhalgrencparselstedt8343]

Here in Sweden you could almost buy a brand new car for what ppl are asking for basically a rotted out willys jeep frame with barely anything else left, so you got an absolute steal of a deal with almost SIX of them + maybe another 2-3 worth in parts.

[@volvobrynk]

Im looking so much foreward to the next Update on these puppies! God job and get to it, lad!

[@anthonyhoult152]

Wow what a find and couldn't of gone to a better guy to fix them. 👍👍👍

[@publicclammer]

I think I might start with a stripped, sandblasted, painted frame and build a pristine one from there! I rescued and got back in service a 1941 Ford jeep circa 1955! Added a CJ2a body from a barn that was a gift!

[@rhondasweeney7271]

I absolutely love this video. Saving all those jeeps. By the way, are those your 3 boys? If so, they sure have grown up. Thank you for sharing your journey with this new project.😊😊😊

[@IO-zz2xy]

Think they are his brothers??

[@Enigma-Sapiens]

Awesome find guys! Can't wait to see some make-it-run videos on these! If I were in better health I'd love to have one to tinker with myself.

[@rorri2372]

Im just in love with these older jeeps, they're like little tractors. I also love compact off-road old tractors, but I just can't find enough information about those vehicles

[@natecampbell4708]

Well you definitely now have a lot of options! Looking forward to what you do with them. BTW, major kudos to those young men that were helping loading everything! It does my heart good to see some young men that's not afraid of hard work & it's clear they're used to it. Please send my regards, both to them, & their Dad, who did a fantastic job raising them! I'm pretty sure that my Dad (who has passed) was very familiar with the oldest model you got while he was stationed on the island of Saipan during WW2!

[@rswdstmn]

Awesome find! The Jeep with three on the tree shifter labeled as a 49 is confusing. They only made the column shift the first year-1945 and it was in a CJ-2a which was produced until 1948. The other thing is the 55 is a CJ5. The CJ6 was stretched 20". Enjoy all your treasures.

[@-oiiio-3993]

1945 and early 1946 CJ2A Jeeps had column shift as well as the ultra rare CJ2 'Agri Jeeps' of 1945 and 'Tuxedo Park' (CJ5A, CJ6A) editions of the 1960s.

[@Country-Marshal]

Wow! What a find. Gonna follow this series. I've been looking for years for one. Again amazing home run.

[@charlescastle5566]

The good thing about them Matt is they make the complete replacement tubs for them matter of a fact all of the ones you have. The 55 is a cj5 I actually had one of them. Good job you did great saving all of those. Are you going to go back and save all the tractors as well?

[@juniormoraes5195]

Oh god what an amazing find, I'm a huge Jeep fan. A true treasure, congratulations excellent choice. A pleasant video to watch and dream about these Jeeps.

[@josephcormier5974]

This has been one of my favorites also I love the old jeep this style is the only one I think is worth restoring six stars for a great video

[@stumpy2816]

Holy moly where to start😮

[@1944chevytruck]

TOTALLY AWESOME CONGRATS!!! ......AMAZING!

[@Farm_fab]

You might give thought to converting one of your jeeps to 5 or 6 speed and add a VW TDI for a daily driver, and install the cab. Mahindra Roxor uses many of the same parts as the CJ as they were made under license from Willis. The "crunchy" jeep might be the best candidate for your conversion as it's already in need of repairs, so could be made to fit around better quality angine anf drive train, like TJ or YJ, including the rears.

[@-oiiio-3993]

Buick 225 'Odd Fire' V6, 4 speed with Warn overdrive, Dana 44 diffs.

[@selwyndyer8357]

Cover them as soon as you can,spray rust with old engine oil a fine mist until you ready to proceed,good purchase.

[@4444design]

Hood and cowl of the „CJ5“ indicates it would actually be a M38A1 - there is the cutout on the right side of the hood for the fording kit and the hood for the additional battery box for the extra batteries to achieve 24V on the cowl - usually there should be the connector for jumpstarting the engine on the right side of the body but is missing. Also the headlights are the civilian version so either it is a transitional version of the M38A1 vs CJ5 or so or someone already changed parts of the body???? Anyway impressive find - especially the fact that one of them is actually still running …

[@anthonywright774]

I took my first ride in a Willey's jeep when I was six, that was 57 years ago, my God you have enough content to start a second channel and enough parts to remake the movie Rat Patrol, just weld in deck plate for strong flooring and side panels, every jeep builder will be calling your Salvage Surplus Parts Store this is going to snowball into a boulder, we'll be watching

What a brilliant find, something I've always wanted but since my accident now out of the question. Nice to see the boys helping out they look like good kids, your a propper role model Matt showing that hard work never hurt anyone. 👍🤗 I bet if Captain Kleeman was watching this, think he might be a little bit envious of that 555. 🤣
