Back in early 1980s when I was still pounding nails for a living. We were doing replacement window job for a guy. Him and his son where rebuilding a old WWII Willie's in the garage. They had ordered and original military body for their frame they had. I was surprised that the body had come all the way from the Phillipines. Seem that they had been sent there during WWII and had stacks of them. I thought it odd that they could get it shipped from the Phillipines cheaper that getting it here in states. Another neat thing was the crate it was in. They made a point to take the crate apart very carefully. It was all msde of Teak wood and probably worth as much as what they paid for the whole jeep body. I thought it odd they use that heavy wood to ship it. But I guess if its what you have locally it cheap wood and available.

Interesting what military left behind as surplus not worth shipping back.

Theres video on the you tube of how they put one together in 20 minutes or something crazy I remember seeing.
