UPDATE: See more information ontheRapport, Flox Foy, and Welliver adapters here.

I’ve spent the past couple days working through the selective hub relationships between Free-Lock (Denver, CO), Dualmatic (Longmont, CO), Husky (Longmont, CO), White Manufacturing (Colorado Springs, CO), and Cutlas Tools & MFG (Vinton, IA).During that process, I ran across more information about dual wheel adapters for the jeep. I thought it might be worth listing the one’s that have been documented. Perhaps someone hasmore information??

1. Max Rappaport’s hubs: A patent on these hubs was filed in 1947 (awarded in 1953), making them the earliest known hubs. Max Rapportaport was the President of Northwestern Auto Parts Company (aka NAPCO).

Here is an example of them:

This December 1947 NAPCO ad promoted the hubs:

This July 1948 Popular Mechanics ad might be advertising the same dual wheels, but rebranded as “Du All” Converters. The design looks very similar to the Rapport models:

2. Welliver Jeep Dual Adapters No. 3000:These adapters were available by 1949 and sold by the Welliver Machine Shop. This April 1949 ad from Popular Mechanics provides adocumented date.

Thanks to Stefano Oddo, we have this brochure regarding these adapters:

3.Hickey Dual Adapters:Vic Hickey developed his higher compression head, giving jeeps a power upgrade option. Then, he designed a set of dual wheel adapters. The first documentation I could find on his adapters was this July 1952 article in Popular Science about his hubs.

The next month, this ad appeared in the August 1952 issue of Popular Science:

This Photobucket page has some good close up photos of the Hickey adapters. Continue reading →

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.

Looks nice. Looks like the Bobcat hood has a custom design on the side.

“Custom classic. Powered by a Chevy small block 327. This thing is one of a kind. It’s geared amazing. You don’t need the brakes in for low and first gear it just creeps down steep hills. Warn 9000 lb winch. Hi and low splitter on a three sped stick. 4wd 1951 model so it’s 66 years old and beautiful. Won’t find another one like it.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.

Craig spotted this interesting find. It seems the seller wants to sell either the M-38A1 or a 1967 London Taxi. I’m thinking the London Taxi is a cooler choice!

“Your choice jeep almost done the other needs work.1- 1955 willys M38A1 jeep just about parade ready 100%complete only missing b.o. light on fender correct only engine and 12v system changed. 6cyl. ford. 2 REAL DEAL 1967 London black cab 100% complete with history down to meter and jump seats .2.2 diesel smokes so I am pulling for rebuild or swap serious calls only”

https://sacramento.craigslist.org/for/6058470120.html

It’s rough. It’s listed as a 1945, but I see nothing to support that.

“True to the story. I inherited my grandfather’s 1945 Willys jeep,with title, and haven’t had the time to get the old girl back on the trail. I have the original flat head motor and three tranmissions, one mounted in the jeep. I will moving in a few months and looking to sell due to the limited space I will have. Please feel free to contact me with questions and I will answer the best I can. The jeep has not ran in about 6 years, but he used to drive it around his old property. The old flat head motor is out, needs work, and he built an aluminum cab that fits over the front seats. I have all the original engine parts.”

Paul’s continuing to make progress on his trailer.

I can’t remember if I explained about the lunette thread damage and what it took to get it repaired so here’s the brief story. Before I began disassembly of my M100 trailer I liberally sprayed all the fasteners with penetrating oil numerous times in hopes of easing the removal process. Most of the nuts and bolts unscrewed with normal effort (including the castle nut on the lunette) but I was disappointed to see some of the threads on the lunette were damaged by the nut when things came apart.

Once the lunette was cleaned and bead blasted I took it to a local machine shop to see what could be done to repair or replace the damaged threads. Because I didn’t know if the lunette was cast or forged the machinist said welding was out of the question and suggested I just buy a replacement lunette. I returned home and made numerous phone calls to military parts sellers, Jeep parts sellers and anyone else I thought might possibly have an M100 lunette for sale. Not only did I come up with a big fat nothing for a replacement lunette I also learned these things are harder to find than unicorns. I made a trip back to the machine shop and had another conversation with the talented folks about the lack of replacement lunettes before we brainstormed about the possibility of thread repairs.

After I answered all their questions about the M100 trailer weight, load capacity and the type of use it will be subjected to a solution was suggested. The plan was to carefully remove the damaged threads and then cut new threads on the slightly smaller diameter of the lunette. The thread pitch would be an uncommon type so they would have to make a castle nut of the correct diameter with matching threads but very little strength would be lost with this repair. I wanted one change made with their repair plan, instead of making one castle nut I wanted them to make four nuts. That way if I ever lost or damaged a special nut I’d have spare nuts on hand.

The attached photo shows the thread damage on the lunette, the focus is poor but the missing threads are still visible.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $16,000.

Looks nice.

“I am selling or trading my 1953 Willys Jeep Resto Mod.
This Jeep has too many modifications and I do not want to look foolish trying to explain them all. If you are a Jeep enthusiast you will know what parts are on it and you will know that this resto mod has been very well done.
It is not perfect but it is close.
Paint is good but the hood could use reshooting and there are some chips here and there but I think it gives it character. Still looks great going down the road though.
It needs the driver front blinker rewired. I am no Mechanic and did not want to mess it up trying to fix it.
This car does not have A/C but it does have heat that works very well. If you want to install an A/C I am sure you could but I simply take the top off.
It has the full soft top and doors but it also has the bikini top which is not shown in pics but will come with.
This Jeep has not been off roading yet since the rebuild but I have been getting tempted. It does have 4×4 that works as supposed to but aren’t all Jeeps.
This Jeeps top speed is recommended at 60 mph. It can go faster but is not safe. It cruises very nice at 60 however.
So far as a trade…text me pics of what you have but it must be worth my asking price. Not willing to put money on top on my end but you are more than welcome to. Only trading for other cars period. Absolutely no guns or boats.”

Runs and drives.
