Saturday night I drove my jeep out to Priceville, a small rural town in north Alabama population 2,800, for their 16 annual "Cruise-In" Classic Car Show. Even tho the weatherman forecasted late afternoon thunder showers over 400 vehicles were on display. This is the first time ever that any jeeps other than mine were on display.

Some nice looking Jeeps there. Did Willys make a pickup with a back seat?
Old retired fart living in Ione, WA. I have a 1964 CJ3B. Recently overhauled original motor, transmission and overdrive. 11" Bronco drum brakes on all 4. Needs a new coat of paint but that will have to wait till next summer, it's next summer and I'm working on that now :) UPS & FEDEX will continue to profit :)

div4gold,
The truck is owned by one of my fellow employees friend. The information he gave me was this is the combination of two 1949 Willys trucks bodies spliced together.

I was wondering since I've never seen the P/U with a rear side window.

The military vehicle collector's *club that I serve as president of here in the Greater Houston Texas area decided a few years back to do the same thing so we showed up in mass one Saturday evening at a classic car gathering over in neighboring League City. Such MV's having been rarely seen by many there suddenly became the main attraction over all the higher dollar classics, hot rods and bikes!
