Converted old Jeep

Converted old Jeep
This might be the earliest Jeep, which was 1941. olive-drab.com/images/jeep_mbgpw_01_700.jpg Or, any other suggestions?

If it's a Jeep, the right front of the hood has been altered and I believe the metal roof is custom. Weren't they all cloth tops at that time?

Nice! As always I like the rust......and in this case also the colour of the grasses. Interesting image Diane.

Looks Jeep but bigger than the first ones. A neighbour of a business I had had an early 50s jeep (needing restoration) which looked like the one here

You're right, the early '40s ones I saw online made the drivers look huge! Kind of comical, really.

Considering the color and the text on the side, it might have been a military vehicle and the companies made various adaptations for military specs.

I think it's a Willys Overland pickup, which did have a hard top and was closely related to Jeep. The roof here looks to have been hardened. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willys_Jeep_Truck

Ah, that makes sense, Don. The hard top puzzled me because all the early ones I saw had cloth. It does look very much like the Overland, but wonder why this one is snub-nosed. I guess an adaptation of some kind.

Recycling is not quite fashionable in your area Diane.
