A connection through the ecj5 site is selling this...he did the build himself, and I'll link the build thread below. He is into old 1920s and 30s trucks, but likes to modernize them a bit (if you can call putting it on a 1969 cj5 drivetrain 'modernizing'). He also did some of the classic upgrades to the cj drivetrain that are pretty common, but it'll drive like a 50 year old truck instead of a 100 year old truck....not really my cup of tea, but if it were closer I'd probably go see it in person just to see what the ride quality is really like...for any one really serious, give Sonny a call and know he just dropped another $3k off the listed price (asking $15k now)....
Here is the build thread:
