1950 Jeep Pickup

I have no idea what this would go for. The Ad says $1, so the seller is probably taking offers.

If I owned a machine shop to make the NLA parts I'm sure it has, I might be interested.

I love those trucks so much. Nothing on it should be complex enough to need a machine shop!

Omix-Ada makes pretty much any replacement parts for those,so the parts department would be covered. Sure am glad that's not any closer to me...

We used to have one just like that, it was a 1960 with a plow and dump bed, same color.  It was an old city service truck.

Am I crazy for thinking a motor swap would make that a better vehicle?  Like a VW TDi?  It's probably also geared to climb walls at idle and top out around 60.

Well worth $1.

I'm not sure that truck in OE trim would hit 60 mph if you pushed it out of a plane.

That looks extraordinarily clean for the vehicle and year.  Most people would cheat and put the body on an S-10 or C-10 chassis and or course drop a tree fitty in it.  .

Correct on both counts.  My dad had one, I think he said 55 was pushing the limits.  But it would creep around off-road like nothing else.

Needs a 4.0 or 4.6L stroker and AW4 trans.
