Saving a WWII Relic, and Alaska History; Willys MB Jeep

Overview, and walkaround of a Willys MB i picked up with some great historic ties to Salcha, Alaska.

Good Score and fun story. Hard to believe the guy drove to Alaska in an Willy's MB. Nothing better then a Jeep "Hanging" around. 🤭👍

Amazingly solid body!

[@RustyInventions-wz6ir]

Very nice project.

[@lancenutter1067]

Wow! I grew up in Salcha! Small world. I worked at the store back in the 80’s when I was a teenager. And, I owned a 1945 GPW in the 90’s. I painted it red.

Awesome!

That green bracket laying on the floor is for holding the top bows

[@willysmb7514]

That's a pretty good MB tub

[@willysmb7514]

I have a 1950s Jeep frame that will probably work for that body.

[@rmaksdirtroadderelicts]

I'd be interested in a frame, if you'd consider letting it go, please shoot me an email at [e-mail]

[@willysmb7514]

Sounds good 👍

I know where some 6x6's are . I spent 4 summers getting people to haul off the cars to get them. Then the owner sold the land. Someone later hauled the 49 gmc wrecker i was planning on getting.

[@rmaksdirtroadderelicts]

Dang that's a shame the property got sold, I assume the new owner isn't willing to sell?

[@willysmb7514]

Huh, this never showed on my FB marketplace feed 😐 I'm in Alaska too I have a 1942 Jeep GPW

[@AK-DIRECT907]

[@ron8802]
