Nice project. Is that an A2?

What is the camo truck in the background of pic 2? Any more pics of it?

 

[willey10]

Yes the Jeep is an A2. The vehicle you see in the background is a trailer like tractor trailer.

It appears that someone stuck an A1 grill on it. Is the motor free?

 

[willey10]

I am hoping, the previous owner said something happened in the clutch area 10 years ago and it hasn't turned over since. I am going to strip it entirely and start the long process of restoration.

Love the A2s. Wished I could find a project like that around here. The van trailer in pic 2 is a single axle reefer trailer. M349A1.

It has an M151 or M151A1 engine as well. Notice the upper radiator support/lifting ring, vacuum pump instead of fuel pump, and oil pressure switch for the electric fuel pump (by the oil filter).

It needs some TLC, but definitely looks like a worthwhile project! Good luck!

I miss the m151a1 that I sold to Mark back when I was in High School. Someday I will have another. If you guys do have the job that Mark did on that m151a1 it is going to be a really nice rig.
