Wow, this brings back memories!  I built about 1 mile of barbed wire fence one summer in high school for my dad, using his 1950 cj-3a and an M100 trailer.  Our family long ago sold the land but I still have that jeep and trailer.  

I see that Stan mentioned Moab and EJS... perhaps we can muster an Oregon delegation in 2020! I'm game.  Sounds like they have a flat fender day.  Moab is really amazing.  I got to spend a few days there last year with Stan and 3A Steve.  Stan did a superb job showing us around.

Pictures of finally moving my jeep stuff from Dads to my place. 
This is the easy way to load a jeep!





My plan is to line all my Jeeps up for a picture, there’s still a Willys pickup and parts wagon over at my Grandmas.

I was tired of my tools always sliding off the top of the wheel wells, so I did a bubba and screwed some metal onto them, creating handy tool trays Clap

Nice collection of Jeeps Ben, but the bonus for me is seeing another flatfender guy who has a Ford Highboy!

Coupla 77's here.:-)

I have now! Nice, very nice!

I have had this 77 since 1980 when I lived in MT.



Not the greatest pic but you get the idea. It was on its 3rd engine (460) in this pic and was 2 weeks away from its 3rd paint job when it was stolen. 3 weeks later I got the cab, frame, and a gutted rear axle back.

I got this white 77 in 2003 for $2200.


 Here it is the day I brought a 75 down out of Crown King AZ.
 I wound up selling the 75. I bought the white one to be a donor truck to rebuild my silver one but its been such a good truck I might just have to keep it as is and find other parts for my silver one.
It has a Dearborn block 400 with an auto and a 203 (soon to be a 205) transfer case. I am casually looking for another ZF5 for the silver truck. I figured out how to do one behind the 460 back in the early 90's. That truck had never seen 80mph before then.LOL
So what are the others you have- I see a 71-72, a 68-69, and 76-77's in addition to your 74?

The white one looks awesome.
