Nate’s CJ-3A Project

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

If you’ve been reading the site for a while you might remember a couple of Nate Bolduc’s projects. At the end of 2012, Nate shared with us photos of a very stock CJ-3A he purchased. Since then, not only has he been helping out at the CJ-3A Page, but he’s also been rebuilding this jeep with a Forest Service theme. He’s even named the jeep Teddy, after Theodore Roosevelt. You can learn more (lots of pics and info) at his thread on the CJ-3A Page:

http://www.cj3apage.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1364006201

Here are a few pics of his progress:

1949-cj3a-nate1

This shows the stock CJ-3A after purchased. Note that it’s got some rot along the lower body, which means some body fixin’

1949-cj3a-nate2

Nate built this custom spare tire, water, and his Indian Fire Pump. the quick disconnect looks like a smart idea.

1949-cj3a-nate3

Nate picked up a PTO winch at the Willys Picnic in June. He’s got it installed behind a Warn OD.

1949-cj3a-nate4

Nate decided to try R&Ps dual master cylinder upgrade. He found it an easy upgrade and plans to purchase one for his next project.

Here’s a photo of the completed restoration, just in time to test it on this winter’s ice!

1952 CJ-3A Deer Park, WA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $2250

It’s a project.

“I purchase a 1952 CJ3A Jeep that I have started rebuilding, but personnel issues have put me in a position that I really need to sell it. This Jeep has had work done to it long before I got it, so it is not in it’s original condition. The engine is a F-134 not an L-134 and the transmission is out of a 1953, so I assume that the engine and tranny are both out of a 1953. I drove the Jeep before I bought it, and then took the tub off to start reworking it. The engine runs great, it has close to 105 PSI on all 4 cylinders. I had the tranny and transfer case completely rebuilt by T&B Transmission. They put in all new parts, no cobbeling 2 old transmission together to make one work. I’ve put in new brakes all the way around, new shocks, all new brake lines, and rebuilt all the wheel cylinders and the master brake cylinder. I picked up a 2 inch brake conversion kit for it and a roll bar. What I’m asking is way below what I’ve got invested. I also have the shop manual and parts manual for it. If someone has a 4 wheeler that they would like to trade, I would consider that, even if I have to put some money with the Jeep for a good one, or I would take a good crossbow or maybe a firearm in trade for the Jeep.”

This isn’t perfect, but it has a great vintage feel with the old top and posse tag. There are several Douglas Counties in different states, but I’m guessing this was from Nevada?

1951-cj3a-corrales-nm3 1951-cj3a-corrales-nm2 1951-cj3a-corrales-nm1

OVERVIEW: 
Original all steel body and chassis with a modern drive train, suspension, brakes and steering.
Both body and frame were separated before reconditioning and in addition to sandblasting and painting, the frame was reinforced (semi-boxed), making it stronger than original. Most of the popular
modifications have already been made and due to the modern updates, this specialty vehicle can be
inexpensively maintained at any Chevrolet dealership or independent shop.

Unlike most 60 year old Jeeps, this vehicle is a joy to drive daily with modern engine functionality,
automatic transmission, and other updates. It drives perfectly straight with no steering wheel wobble or wonder, and the wider track makes it handle predictably, more like a modern 4×4. The driver and passenger are protected by a padded roll cage and held in place by through the seat 5-point racing harnesses. Jump seat for parcels only.

1949 Flattie Kent, WA $3500

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $3500.

(11/18/2013) I think the seller means this jeep has been garaged its whole life (rather than it’s been in a garage since 1950). The rear driveline has to be replaced.

“49 Willy’s jeep This is a project that don’t need a lot of work to fix, unless you want a super Bad Ass Willy’s. However it is pretty sick the way it is, It needs the rear end re-welded my son was going to put a four link and coils and move the rear end back 6 inches or so but never got around to finishing it. It has a shortened ford 9 inch with a Detroit locker. Huge paddle tires. Its a small block Chev, one very strong built motor, with fender wall headers, and a 250 shot of NOS it also has what I believe is a Saginaw Chev four speed trans. This thing will fly through the dunes with some work and some cash. It needs a rear drive line. It has a old willy’s four buy four front end in it, that I was going to take out and put a straight axle in it to make it lighter in the front end. There’s a jeep on You Tube that I wanted it to be just like. If you seen it I’m sure that you would want to go the same way. This jeep has 85 percent of what I wanted it to be. With a little of good welding and a little of knowledge on how to fly this thing will fly. The motor is loud and fast you might want to wear ear plugs, if you were to drive it all day. Fiberglass hood. Also there is no rust anywhere on this jeep, I believe its been in a garage since 1950, it has to be the cleanest rust free jeep that is still out there. I just put it out side under a tarp for the first time since my son owned it. He drove it for five minutes before he blew the drive line out of it. It will need a tough ass drive line. Just remember it will need some love and I’m sure for the right guys that want a Bad Ass jeep that this is it. I’m selling it because I have to many projects and not enough cash to do them all. I’m restoring a 79 Z28 and they don’t give them parts away for cheap. So if you have any parts for a 1979 Camero I’m interested. Please Don’t call if your not serious. Thank you”
