The 226,Cubic inch 6 cyl engine, built for Willys by Contenental, will go in my 1951 Willys 3/4 ton pickup. I have the FC-170 axles, DANA 53 front, Timken Spirel bevel type rear, 5/something, ratio. Free to anyone who pick them up, for use,not scrap! [Reply]  [No Email]

As a 14 year old I thought that they were really something. [Reply]  [No Email]

I've also got an 8000 lb Warn, worm gear winch on the front bumper, which I built out of 6" channel iron and some heavy wall square tubing. Over the years I've pulled out quite a few stuck vehicles,with the worst being Dad's 440IC Deere dozer. It got stuck in mud level with the tracks, trying to unstick a backhoe that couldn't dig itself out... if that tells you how bad it was. I had the rear bumper (also 6 inch channel) chained to a tree and the winch hooked to the dozer blade. Before the dozer came unstuck the Jeep was completely up in the air, suspended between the chain and the cable. In other words it's ONE TOUGH TRUCK. Unfortunately, as others have said, it's a rust bucket due to the numerous places that hold all of the mud and gunk that find their way into places like that when using the truck like it was intended to be used. It's a shame because it, to me, it's a beautiful, but tough looking body style. There used to be one near me that had been restored and it was one of the best looking trucks I've ever seen.

A year or two ago Jeep was going to bring them back as a concept vehicle. I don't know if they ever put them into production. Haven't seen one on the road. Old Jeep trucks, to include the FCs were rust buckets. Ran well and could go places off road, rust buckets though. Have a friend that bought an M715 a couple of years ago, redoing the whole thing, except metal top instead of canvas, and he put an Olds diesel in it. Don't know why he picked an Olds diesel, but its his and he did. Mark [Reply]  [No Email]

There is a man in the town close to me that has a Jeep COE. Which are somewhat rare I think. I don't know what series designation it is but I don't think he ever drives it, it just sits in his yard.

Block based on a continental 6, head slightly more advanced. I suppose they were okay for the time. The problem is that at the time they were slow and simple, now they are old, slow and obsolete. You can figure out how to make it go faster with taller tires or an overdrive. That just leaves you figuring out how to make it turn taller tires with no power stearing and how to make it stop with tiny, non power assist drums. Not a split master cyl,or even finned drums. It had to use a hydraulic clutch to accomadate frame to body movement and its about as loud as any tractor with a steel cab. They are good looking though. [Reply]  [No Email]

The first my Grandfather gave me was a j20 it wasa great truck but rusted away to nothing. The second I bought from a coworker was a quadratrac j10 in great shape. I got a guilt trip from family to sell it to my useless brother who didnt have a vehicle and had a newborn. I had four trucks at the time so I sold it to him cheap. He turned around and sold it within a couple of weeks for a nice profit and still had no vehicle, blew the money. Lesson learned I guess. I would love to have another. Theres an older farmer near Gate city Va. that has a super nice j20 I see occasionally but he's not interested in selling it. [Reply]  [No Email]
