Saw this on another forum, guy bought it on a whim and is wondering what he bought.
Is this some kind of Frankenjeep or is it an actual factory model?
Was listed as a 47 CJ2.

It's cool, I'd drive it...

I'd bet on the cj2a being most of what was used, with a Willy's wagon providing a lot of body panels, A wheelbase measurement and check to make certain the frame hasn't been lengthened should confirm what base vehicles is under there.
 
Looks like some Cuban concoction. When did the grills have 10 slots? I know about the 9-slotters but 10? I’m no expert.

Imagine going to auto zone and asking for parts for a 1947 cj2. The pimple faced kid behind the counter head would explode.

I can go to NAPA and get a lot of parts for my '56 Willys truck as long as I get the right person at the counter. I even bought NAPA shocks for the rear because they are very well what you could have bought way back then if you were replacing them at a local auto parts store.
 
you know,with all the crap going on overseas, homeless vets, people hatin on the prez,etc etc...
the only thing that goes on in some peoples lives is the miniscule (sp) problem of speaking a few words to help a fellow human being to do a job.
Jabo behind the counter is only 19 years old and never seen or heard of your shitbox 79 whateverstein. Give a dog a bone!
Be proactive and have YOUR info straight first before walking through the door or calling on the horn. Just figure when you walk through the door that to speed things along,help the individual behind the counter. It's what I do.

Is all this hatin on Jabo really rank that high on the dealinwithlife'sbullshit meter? I don't think so.

That is an abomination! It is a '47-'49 Jeepster (VJ) front end Married to maybe the CJ tub and what looks to be a Willys wagon rear end
Edit: on second thought, that's probably the Wagon's front end also, they were the same

I think you had it right the first time.

Nailed it! That's exactly what I was going to say - I see a late 40s Jeepster front end with a CJ2a tub corners (closed off the tailgate area, of course), with a Willys wagon hacked and capped into a bed. Can't really judge by the pics to well, but looks to be the same wheelbase as a Willys wagon anyway.

Yep, 10 slots...if you took the chrome trim off the front of the grille, there's 2 slots behind it (plus the 4 visible ones on each side of the trim). Does look like a Cubano job though, doesn't it?
