The second post appeares to be a cj-2a or 3a. The 3rd set looks like a mix of cj-5 and flatfender. And the 4th set is cj-5. You definatly have your work cut out for ya.

Anything is restorable if you want to throw enough $ in. From the pictures looks like a good candidate though. Is that a Ford GP?

Last one looks to me to be a Willys CJ-2 (not sure about A). I thought the Ford version had the recessed headlights (which could be flipped up into the engine compartment for repair work) and the civvy / Willys version had hard-mounted headlights.
Lack of indentations in the driver's side for the shovel hints to me it's a civvy body. Nice though, seems like all the parts you'd need would be available through JC Whitney. They used to have a bunch of steel and fiberglass body parts even.

I have an uncle that has an early Scout that is right hand drive. He was a mail man in Arizona(70's), he parked it many years ago, in the barn. I think it has about 300000 miles on it too.

The first jeep pictured (red) is a mid-1947 to 1949 CJ-2A as denoted by the flush mounted parking lights and top bow pockets on the left side of the tub. The second one (green/blue) is a 1946 to mid-1947 CJ-2A as denoted by the bullet parking lights and top bow pockets on left side of the tub. If you really want to learn more about the 2As head over to The CJ2A Page Forums.
