    Good Score and fun story. Hard to believe the guy drove to Alaska in an Willy's MB. Nothing better then a Jeep "Hanging" around. 🤭👍

    That green bracket laying on the floor is for holding the top bows

    Wow! I grew up in Salcha! Small world. I worked at the store back in the 80’s when I was a teenager. And, I owned a 1945 GPW in the 90’s. I painted it red.

    I have a 1950s Jeep frame that will probably work for that body.

      I'd be interested in a frame, if you'd consider letting it go, please shoot me an email at rattymuscleak@gmail.com

    I know where some 6x6's are . I spent 4 summers getting people to haul off the cars to get them. Then the owner sold the land. Someone later hauled the 49 gmc wrecker i was planning on getting.

      Dang that's a shame the property got sold, I assume the new owner isn't willing to sell?
