Not much of an idea really. I bought it out of a barn when i was 13 or 14. Came with a bunch of parts and 3 titles. My uncle helped me out with the parts a few years ago by taking most of them to the scrap yard so i have that going for me! GRRRRR. The title that i believe belongs to most of the parts has Ice Cream truck in the description. Its bubba built, but I havent found anything too haggard on it yet. Body and frame appear solid, 134 is stuck. Hoping to start on it here in the next year or so once i get some motorcycles out of the way. Not sure what to do for an engine, i like the thought of leaving it stock but some HP might be handy and well its not like im preserving something original anyways.

Here you go Ben, an original Willys flat bed. The Mule would fit right in on your ranch. Jim I tried to post a pic of an Military 174 mule but it didn't happen

Back to the important subject.
Flatfender Jeeps!!
Poor ole yellar has been sitting for about a year with no attention  After letting the birds crap all over it and a lot of dirt collecting on it, I finally tarped it after cleaning said crap out.   If I hadn’t bought Miller a jeep, I’d be working on ole yellar..... oh well  I decided to get Miller’s jeep parked inside before it snowed again.  Couldn’t resist a little sunset drive.  |

Needed a few parts for Miller’s jeep from inventory so went over to Dad to see what we had over there.
Found a usable lens and choke cable in parts storage. Both are the originals off my nice blue 2a.  I also went in Dad’s shop to check on the GPW. The shop was full of cool projects as usual    GPW is looking good, going to exhaust shop Tuesday. |

I saw a Military Jeep coming into the Shopping center where NAPA is in Silverton to day I got all excited to see it I was going to follow it and try to talk to the owner. Then I see him drive behind the ACE hardware/HiSchool Pharmacy and I realize only one person would be doing that. My friend Billy who happens to own a GPW (its a survivor only ever been maintained never "restored") and he happens to live on the far side of the shopping center his shop driveway leads in from the big parking lot. He was obviously trying to not have to drive through all the cars. So I went home. I been all over his GPW a couple times. And I really didn't need the ribbing I knew would be coming when he asked if CHUG was running. When we were kids he used to ride to work at a Christmas tree farm sometimes in the back of CHUG.
