Hi Andrewit hes definatly been a willys jeep. Looks like it hes been crossed with a landy! the tube frame does not look jeep but is it military?

Thanks John
It does look odd. Rear body was gal steel not aluminium and has lockers ,
Doors looked home made possibly the rear may be as well ?
Plate on front of chassis starts with a MB so thought it would be jeep
Probably a bitsa but I have no clue when it comes to jeeps and the like

Strange one alright. Dash looks like a jeep but the arse end looks like a dodge weapons carrier of sorts. Got me.

It is (was) a Willys MB. The chassis number MB310750 equates to an MB used by the Australian Army, registration number 157961. The original engine number was MB372500.

It was taken on charge in Queensland, and was sold shortly after the end of the war to Dominion Motors.

Under all that c**p there are probably some quite usable jeep parts.
