Doing some random surfing I came across this 3b for sale on the south east side of Cleveland. I normally post to the for sale page but this one is another unique use of the 3b.

lol that is in my neck of the woods, i have done quite a bit of dealing with davey's jeeps.

they are good people, and have always done me right :)
53 3b, early cj5 frame (hurricane),2.43 ratio t case 26 tooth with 1 1/4" case (my own creation), late 60's c5 ross steering box, all range od, parts from a welder generator, and parts from about 9 different jeeps and counting. my every last penny and ounce of patients creates what we call the FrAnken B, the jeep that never was

I've seen that jeep twice. There's no motor and the tub has been cut down. The front clip is ok, the frame I think is ok as are the gauges. I tried to buy this from him for $600 but he will not budge off the $900. It's about 45 min from me.

That would be pretty cool to have. It would make pulling engines a snap! :D
