I like the rifle scabbard on the jeep.

I could have some fun in the Jeep!

Probably get arrested, but might be worth it!

I liked the 30 cal on the right.

I'd really like to see a photo of the data plate on that jeep. It looks to be a Bantam BRC40, if so very rare. Bantam got shut out of the Jeep production by the Willys MB, who had more manufacturing ability and a better engine, and then eventually Ford GP when Willys could not keep up. Bantam went on to make most of the trailers for the Jeeps.

Is the scabord holding a Tommy Gun?

Stock looks right for a Thompson. I'm pretty sure its not a .30 carbine.

Don't think lockout hubs were available until much later for the Jeep.
Doesn't look like a Jeep engine.

Looks like a 12 volt battery too....

I thought maybe an 8 volt? The exposed spark wires indicate it is not a military shielded ignition, but if it is a Bantam it may be earlier than the shielded ignition. Or swapped out to civilian ignition due to the lack of OE parts which is common on these old jeeps. Might even had a Willys or GPW engine put in it at some point. I agree no lockouts would be on the original. BUT, way cool anyway as I love old jeeps! Glad to see it display and thanks for posting the pictures.

I'd love to have the gun on that jeep if it still worked that is

That's a sweet Diamond T!
Wish ours was in that condition... Ours runs, and drives fine, just needs paint and a new bed...
Jeep is nice too.

Hey, I saw those on Saturday! I really liked the jeep, it was full of neat stuff.

I always thought the shielded ignition didnt come to be till Korea.

Ford GP engine bay with Ford 9n engine.
Only about 4000 Ford Jeeps were built with the 9n engine.
