I assembled a MD Juan Wrangler replica in 1995. I still have it and now converting it to a California style. But at almost 70 years old, I cannot put in long hours anymore.
Dude the copper coloured jeep is a post war farm jeep. It’s got the pto in the rear for attachments for farming. Willys marketed these jeeps to farmers like tractors basically. Super cool to see
I'm 57 and from Nagaland, India, and I grew up around these Willys Jeeps. I currently own a 1963 Willys CJ 5 M38A1 (US Marine Corps Edition). Sadly I can no longer obtain the parts for the engine, transmission and differentials. So I've swapped all the running parts and installed Mahindra diesel engine, transmission and diffs.
Diesel swap Jeeps are amazing! A popular swap in the US is a 4 cly Cummins engine. Mahindra used to be a contractor of Willys so that is a perfectly acceptable swap IMHO.
A fellow You tuber(C&C equipment) carries the tubs for ALL of your jeeps!! Those jeeps bring back alot of memories! Love the this episode! Keep them coming!
Some 40 years before,I restored completely a CJ2A and used it as daily driver in Greece..Love them..Many good memories (and bad ones but who cared !!)..Thanks for the video ..
Even the jeep that's rusted out can be easily repaired since its all easy accessible flat floor panels. Nice barn find and so complete. What a treasure trove of inventory and envy to any collector /restorer.
I’m pretty blown away by the amount of Jeep and Jeep parts that you got out of this stash, what a goldmine of a find. This will keep you busy and all of us very entertained for years to come. 😊thanks
I believe India has the rights to the old Jeeps. They are producing a version of the CJs. It's worth a look. It's called the Mahindra Roxor. I don't know if the parts are interchangeable but like I said its worth a look
*I am so pleased that the previous owner finally contacted you after all this time... & that these 'Willys Jeeps' are now in safe hands... to get used again at some point. Shall be looking forward to seeing you getting them fixed up and running again. nz*
As someone else pointed out Clint at C&C Equipment knows a guy who sells all the sheet metal to rebuild jeeps newly pressed in the Philippines....and if I'm not mistaken Clint carries some jeep body panels himself, these cars are so rare now it might be a good idea to get all those parts you have and refab and renovate them and advertise them for sale, it could repay what you paid for the whole job lot and then some, ha ha in two or three years time you might even become known as the go to Mr Jeep lol..
Wow Matt, so much to unpack in this one. First the military one with out the floor is an M 38. The red one is the civilian version of the M38a1, called a CJ5. Its am 81 inch wheel base A CJ6 has a 110 inch wheel base. One of those other may actually be a rare Tuxedo Park version. The one with th shifter on the column. As far as nodoby needing 6 jeeps, i beg to differ, at one time i have had over 20 in my possession. Still have two. Those parts could be a gold mine. Any future updates on them will be gladly watched. Be careful, JEEPs are very addicting.
Tuxedo Park models were CJ5a, introduced in 1961, and CJ6A models of model years 1966 - 68 (less than 500 CJ6A produced). Flatfendered Jeeps with column shift were the ultra rare CJ2 'Agri-Jeeps' of 1945 and early production CJ2A of 1945 - 46.
In 80's I learned how to drive in a 1942 "Jeep" Willys MB (old brother of those) all original. It's a brave WW2 veteran (with few bullets holes) and It have been in family for almost 60 years. Cheers from Brazil!
So glad to hear from you again! I love this video and what you do saving the old iron. I envy you in a way. Wishing I was younger and able to do what you are doing. Anxiously waiting to the next chapter.
Wow ! As a retired dav man . Iam envious. But that was a great discovery, congratulations sir . I will be following ur saving this beautiful jeeps .. 😢. Love ur channel ..
What a score. They are such a classic shape. Where I live in Oz you would have a serious amount of monies worth. I know a guy down the road that has a lovely driveable restored version. Looking forward to seeing these come back to life.
That 555 is in great condition, I think this shows what basic maintenance to a piece of equipment can do later down the road. I like them. The jeeps are sweet as well.
That would have taken a month without those 3 corn-fed country boys with ya!! Those young men worked VERY WELL together. Very refreshing to see. Oh yeah, theJeeps kick ass, too! 💪
All sheet metal parts are readily available. Engines were also used in generator sets. Only difficult parts, really, are transfer cases, transmissions and differential and that, just the outer shells. all of the gears ands internals are available.
tell yeah honestly when those jeeps were new they were awesome .its when the engines got old they were worth a damn.even rebuilt after 500 miles or so the engines started burning oil again.the engines got so bad hinges were added to the front grill so an engine swap could be done quicker.my brother put a chevy 2 154.about 80 hp.early. chevy 2 nova looked like the 250 only it was 4 cylinder . Engine in his added a swap kit so it fit.it made twice the hp.totally different jeep.better then my cj3b for power.only fault i found was engine .liked it better than the landrover. There is a company i think in burnaby british columbia canada sell all kinds parts for the old wellys jeep.😂
I had a 1946 flat fender drove in the sixties in the mountains of Pennsylvania for years hated to get rid of it when we moved on in life. Thank you for saving them they deserve respect for what they did for America. Mostly all were made for the military.
You might want to reach out to various Willy's Jeep clubs and forums for information, on identification of parts and approaches to restoration. This project is a "content generator" and a wonderful purchase - worth every cent.
awesome looking set of classics there! Have a chat with Clint over at C&C Equipment and see if he can help with pointers etc.. he is a major jeep stockist and importer of the willys style stuff
Oh god what an amazing find, I'm a huge Jeep fan. A true treasure, congratulations excellent choice. A pleasant video to watch and dream about these Jeeps.
Hood and cowl of the „CJ5“ indicates it would actually be a M38A1 - there is the cutout on the right side of the hood for the fording kit and the hood for the additional battery box for the extra batteries to achieve 24V on the cowl - usually there should be the connector for jumpstarting the engine on the right side of the body but is missing. Also the headlights are the civilian version so either it is a transitional version of the M38A1 vs CJ5 or so or someone already changed parts of the body???? Anyway impressive find - especially the fact that one of them is actually still running …
Well you definitely now have a lot of options! Looking forward to what you do with them. BTW, major kudos to those young men that were helping loading everything! It does my heart good to see some young men that's not afraid of hard work & it's clear they're used to it. Please send my regards, both to them, & their Dad, who did a fantastic job raising them! I'm pretty sure that my Dad (who has passed) was very familiar with the oldest model you got while he was stationed on the island of Saipan during WW2!
There are a couple of outfits that make everything from floor pans to entire bodies for those. Basically if you have a frame, you have a Jeep. O' yea, and a but-ton of money won't hurt.
I know you like to use original parts, but C&C Equipment has replacement parts for all of your jeeps. Hope that helps. Great video. I'm looking forward to seeing you get them going again. Thanks for sharing.
Those jeeps with the PTO on the back reminded me of an article I read some years back. After WWII the plethora of surplus jeeps were adapted to farming and light construction by a few companies that would make attachments for them. You scored big time with this deal.
Yes, there was also a 3 point hitch that mounted in the bed for using mounted implements like plows. That PTO unit is fairly rare and highly desirable by collectors. After WW2, surplus jeeps were cheaper to buy than actual farm tractors, plus you could even drive the Jeep into town when you needed to.
I took my first ride in a Willey's jeep when I was six, that was 57 years ago, my God you have enough content to start a second channel and enough parts to remake the movie Rat Patrol, just weld in deck plate for strong flooring and side panels, every jeep builder will be calling your Salvage Surplus Parts Store this is going to snowball into a boulder, we'll be watching
Im just in love with these older jeeps, they're like little tractors. I also love compact off-road old tractors, but I just can't find enough information about those vehicles
Wow what a awesome score , I'm truly excited for you finding that many Jeeps and parts galore like that. I can't wait for the next video on them. Very cool Brother. Love your work.
1945 and early 1946 CJ2A Jeeps had column shift as well as the ultra rare CJ2 'Agri Jeeps' of 1945 and 'Tuxedo Park' (CJ5A, CJ6A) editions of the 1960s. They were not produced in 1949.
C&C Equipment has the M38 body brand new for $2300. The Philippines still stamps all these old bodies.
MD Juan.
I assembled a MD Juan Wrangler replica in 1995. I still have it and now converting it to a California style. But at almost 70 years old, I cannot put in long hours anymore.
C&C equipment has anything you need to rebuild a Jeep. Go see Diesel Creek lasted video when he & Letsdig18 go to C&C & get a tour 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Agree. The company is MDJuan. I assembled a Wrangler using the company's body/chassis kit in 1992.
@@raytalbot5890 An original generator and voltage regulator for a Willys MB?
Like a candy land of jeeps. I'm 55 and wanted one my whole life congrats.
Two men had their best Jeep days of their lives. One got rid of em all, and one got them all.... Its a jeep thing.
Love this rescue! I'm 68 and grew up watching all the movies and TV shows full of Jeeps.

Good Morning Workshop , I am so glad to see you again today and I hope you are having a great day! It is 7:06 am my time here in AZ, US on 8/8/23 !
Even the jeep that's rusted out can be easily repaired since its all easy accessible flat floor panels. Nice barn find and so complete. What a treasure trove of inventory and envy to any collector /restorer.
You really hit the mother lode. So many parts. I'm sure that there are at least 3 complete jeeps. This could be on of your best projects.
Wow wow wow 5 willys I want to see all of them up and running soldier let's do it
I’m pretty blown away by the amount of Jeep and Jeep parts that you got out of this stash, what a goldmine of a find. This will keep you busy and all of us very entertained for years to come. 😊thanks
Very nice find. Rusty gold. Nice seeing those young lads learning and working hard. Good crew.

A new meaning to "kicking the tires".
MI
now that shed has a bit of stuff in it
You really know how to make my day for I love all the old American Jeeps .
Great find and good to rescue them!
Nice job with the whole crew!
Thx for showing
👍👍👍

TOTALLY AWESOME CONGRATS!!! ......AMAZING!
MD Juan in the Phillipines sells repro bodies for all these old Jeeps. Daryl Bensinger in Narvon PA imports them.
As does Kaiser Willys.
Excellent show. Glad you had the space for everything
OMG finally a Jeep restore! Looking very forward to this series
Well done, Matt. Farm fresh.😊
WoooW ! Looking forward to watch over your shoulder reviving these old runners !
Congratulation on saving those old jewels.
In 80's I learned how to drive in a 1942 "Jeep" Willys MB (old brother of those) all original. It's a brave WW2 veteran (with few bullets holes) and It have been in family for almost 60 years.

Yes. Save as many as you can. We are on the same mission. Best of luck.
Awesome find guys! Can't wait to see some make-it-run videos on these!
If I were in better health I'd love to have one to tinker with myself.
Exciting stuff 👍🏻 Great projects for your brothers 😊🏴

Grandpa has an old ford 555 backhoe just like that one. I heard it running and new exactly what it was. Those are great machines.
Great video.....can't wait to see more on them.

Really awesome finds
I took my first ride in a Willey's jeep when I was six, that was 57 years ago, my God you have enough content to start a second channel and enough parts to remake the movie Rat Patrol, just weld in deck plate for strong flooring and side panels, every jeep builder will be calling your Salvage Surplus Parts Store this is going to snowball into a boulder, we'll be watching

Congrats Salvage Workshop, on buying those 5 1/2 Willy's Jeep's. will make a cool video's putting two Jeep's together.
Mate, the best part of the video was your little joyride at the end, I love the sound of the Jeep’s ‘Go devil’ straight-4!
The cj2a you said is a 49 is a 46 it has the column shift very nice find.
1945 and early 1946 CJ2A Jeeps had column shift as well as the ultra rare CJ2 'Agri Jeeps' of 1945 and 'Tuxedo Park' (CJ5A, CJ6A) editions of the 1960s.
They were not produced in 1949.
