“1954 cj3b Willys Jeep. Almost everything is rebuilt from the bottom up. New body, tub, factory posi in front and rear. 134 f-head with a 3 speed.”
The body looks pretty good overall.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/349202306321489/
“Early style Willys Jeep CJ3B with 27,000 miles. No title. Tub is in good shape for being original and unrestored. The only rust I can find is under the toolbox which is shown in the pics. Other hat channels appear to be in solid condition. Fender hat channels look good as well. Engine cranks over with a jumper pack. Cylinder #2 appears to have a stuck valve from sitting for so long. Radiator is from an IH of sorts. Transmission shifts in all gears. Tcase shifts in all ranges. Has a new steering wheel.”
Later model 3B with a body that has had, but still needs, attention.

“For sale is my 59 willys CJ3B high hood. 134 gas motor with a three speed. Runs and shifts well, but the clutch pedal is very stiff. Four wheel drive works. Drivers floor is more or less rusted all out, passenger floor is on its way. Brakes don’t work real well, if hardly at all. No fuel tank hooked up. Windshield glass is good. Has a nice old roll cage and a set of steelies. Brand new plugs, coil, oil, and filter. Clean Indiana title in my name in hand.”
It runs, but lacks a title.

This late model CJ-3B looks nice. The last photo looks like the Yakima area in the background, but the others do not.

“1965 CJ-3B is the latest production CJ-3B we know of which was sold domestically in the U.S. It was built in December 1964.”

I believe this is some kind of replacement tub. It also has the advance adapter windshield latches.

(04/17/2020) Nice looking restoration. It has a few cool extras (Hickey winch and ventilating windshield). My only quibble is that I wish the rear dually fenders were rounded rather than angled.

Looks solid, but if it has a flat head engine, then the engine is not original.
