These were known as the “Burma Jeep” and were used by the Navy and Marine Corps in the Pacific in World War ll, as well as the Korean War. This one is listed on craigslist near Sacramento, California for $3,800. There’s no word on condition, except to say it’s good. It does look solid and complete, but it’s definitely going to need a lot of work.

These were low profile, short and very maneuverable trucks with a turning radius of only 32 feet and are much more compact than other 1 ½ ton trucks. The engine is pushed back into the cab to give it a shorter wheelbase. It’s powered by a flathead 6 cylinder Ford engine with 90 horsepower, a 4 speed transmission and a 2 speed transfer case. It will haul 3,000 pounds and has great off road capabilities. The patina is interesting and there’s no daylight showing through the body.I can imagine lots of uses for this, mostly off-road on ranches and farms. What an interesting vehicle and an amazing survivor!
