    Military Fire Trucks

    from Jim Davis ( http://www.maui.net/~r11/firetruck-id/index.html ) "The truck is a Navy/Marine Corps 1-1/2 ton 4x4 International, apparently principally a CO-2 rig. The presence of the booster hose reel up top suggest it also carried water and had a pump of some sort. The Navy/Marine...

    long bed willys jeep..

    RE: fess up.. CJ6 had longer WB and was introduced in, I think, 1970. This is a 1948 -1953 CJ 2/3. License plate (blocked out) was a 1951-1955 issue.. We'll find it somewhere.. Mike

    fess up.. here's my problem. I have the pic of the Jeep in question, but the family does not want the picture posted so here's a face blacked out version. (their request) So does this help? look at area between both person's feet (arrow)and you see a rear wheel. On the other side you can see...

    long bed willys jeep..

    The bed length is the same but it is flush w/ the body sides. Not an add on or one off..Again, think Scrambler bed length w/ a 80" or ? wheelbase, but era of CJ2/3a. !948-53 time frame. Still looking for the expert to discuss this via PM.. Mike

    long bed willys jeep..

    nice rig, but no..The wheelbase was shorter, like a normal cj model..just the bed was longer.. I went to a car show today. Here's a '48 model that looked the same in the back, but w/ a short bed..again, regular WB but longer bed.. the M170 has a long WB.. Mike
