I have no information on this Willys Jeep, but it looks like an awesome snowplow machine!
hd1936knuck from the International Full Size Jeep Association has a 1980 J10 Laredo truck for sale. The 360 V8 runs good, but the 727 lockup transmission leaks, but he has the original non lock up transmission to go with it but it needs a rebuild. Of course, it still has the infamous Quadra Trac tranfer case. The body is good appears to be in good shape. I love the nostalgic windows in the canopy! He is asking $2250 and it is located in Douglasville, Ga.
My parents purchased a surplus GPW in 1963 for $500 and decided to take the jeep to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in 1965. At that time the paved road stopped outside of Mazatlan so they towed the jeep there and then proceeded on.

So here are some areas you might like to comment on:
This Jeep JA-3AB for sale on Ebay is totally different than what I am used to seeing! If not for the $15,000 price tag and the cost of shipping from Argentina, I would consider buying it. It is just so different! It is obviously patterned after the Jeep CJ-5, but I have never seen some of the wierd things like the steps. I love the pop out windshield, though! Have you ever seen a Jeep like this? Do you have any more information?
This is one of three Jeep J20 6X6 Angloco Rescue Tenders in use with the East Sussex Fire Brigade from 1983/84 and was located at the fire station in Hastings
