Hi Josh, I had this fc in Michigan. Thank you for continuing to work on it. I am in Holland. Bought it from a guy in Flint who watched it for years at a nearby lot and finally bought it. He did some engine work on it and had the head machined somewhat. I think the engine was in good shape. I paid him to rebuild the transmission so that should be good. I just didn't have the experience to finish it. Did some research too. It was from the Snowshoe Guest and Dude Ranch in Kremmings Colorado and spent a long time there. I guess that is still there now and is super fancy and has a different name. They said Zane Grey was a frequent visitor at the old Snowshoe Ranch. He was a famous writer of Western books. It was bought by a dealer in Northern Illinois also. Somewhere up near Chicago from what I remember. I think the guy from Flint may have bought it from that dealer. Keep it rolling brother

Snub Nose JEEP is so cool. A fun project!! '57 was a GOOD year!!

freaking awesome FC, I just got mine on the road.

I remember looking at those new on the lot. My idea back then was to put one of the slide in type truck canopies they use to made that had a dinette that made into a bed and an ICE BOX on one side and a sink on the other just inside the door.. i wanted to build what they call an ‘Overlander’ now days. But when the kids start coming you have to start counting seats. Those are pretty rare and I still think they’re Kool.

Nice old Jeep. I had my 1969 CJ5 out for a ride this weekend. Still haven’t started working on my 1960 wagon.

Those are Kelly-Hayes 15x8 JEEP Renegade wheels. They have some value so don't junk them as aftermarket. :-)

hi there those are the ugliest thing i have ever seen . you have to be crazy to own one of those . OH ! thats rite now I'm down to 5 of them just sold my dually yesterday . ya i am crazy . video made me smile thanks john

That thing is cool, I can't wait to see the video's

Cool, congratulations! Seeing that one sitting in the barn might just be enough to get me to resurrect the one I have in the weeds. 58 150 just like yours but green with a white top. They definitely get peoples attention. The gear whine usually gets their head turned your direction and then they see you. They're a hoot though. Mine has a Ford 260 and an overdrive but it's out of a wagon and you have to change it underneath. I don't know if they figured out the linkage for that in the fcs. They've got a stiff ass leaf pack. You have to have about half a bed full or something in mine til it rides ok. Good Luck with the project. I think I will get the truck and drag mine out in the field and get it started.. it couldn't be too bad.. It ran when parked lol.

Absolutely beautiful! OIIIIIIIO

Looks like uall Forgot the wood racks for it sitting by the wall ???

That jeep is rare or I don't get out much...never seen one before. Cool!

Noticed a 37 or 38 chevy in the background is it a coupe or a sedan and what are your plans for it? Thanks really enjoy your videos.

WOW! A ton of work. Is this going to be a straight through series? Your loyal viewers are waiting for the shop truck to be finished.

Hi Shelly

Great to see & hear Ted..where’s his Ford?

New subscriber, you really deserve a lot more subs than you have.

I think in 1957 they had the narrow axles but I could be wrong. If it is a 57 maybe someone swapped out the axles?

Hi Josh

how much you want for it?

So in other words, you're just going to tear it up and make a mud runner out of it. What a shame
