That would be much appreciated, thanks! I'll get in touch with my dad and see
what kind of shape it's in. He said something about getting a U-Haul trailer
when I talked to him, but if he finds out it's $620 for a one-way rental he
might change his mind. Knowing my father, he'll be morally opposed to forking
out that kind of cash for renting a trailer for a few days, even if it's
someone else's money.

I'm pretty sure it's a CJ-2A. I don't remember if there's a back seat in it,
or just a storage box. My dad just had a box in his CJ-5 with a foam pad on
the top for us to sit on. Seatbelts? We didn't need no steenkin seatbelts!
(Remember kids, safety first.)

I grabbed a couple of pictures of the Willy's in the garage a couple of years
ago. When I get home, I'll see if they show the back seat area. I can
forward them as well if that would be helpful.

Let me know what ends up happening with your side trip.
