My M170 Willys Jeep DOD 03-54 VIN 10072

This is the fifth M170 that I have owned. It is a really nice Jeep. I am waiting for summer to get here so I can try to restore it. She runs and drives great. I believe it is number 72 off the assembly line. Thought you might enjoy a quick look at her. If you would like to see more photos just click the link below.

It amazes me to see these things so old and yet so complete....all the top bows and such.

Only mod I can see was to remove the rear pintle hitch and add a dropped bracket for a tow ball. Other than that, looks great!

looks very nice!

If possible I would appreciate some close pics of the passenger door opening/spare tire well.

also,
Do your data plates indicate which service purchased it?
on the m170's you have owned, how many have the "marine corps" rear bumper/lift points?

I never have had any to my knowledge that were USMC. At least I know they did not have the rear bumper like the USMC M38A1's. I will try to take some photos of the spare tire well sump area. It will probably be a few days or so.

I'm restoring an M170 right now as well. Do you know where I could find a regulator to generator cable? It's got to be like 6 feet long or something....

Brian,
I'm not sure where you could find one. You might try Midway Supply their in Irving, Texas. The owner is Leo Porter. He has been in the Jeep business for I guess 50 years. His number is 972-399-1532.
Tell him John Colwell had you call.

regards olaf
