Builds: Filandia, Columbia

• CATEGORIES: Builds, International This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Sebastian has forwarded a couple great pics from Columbia.  I love the colorful jeeps against the colorful buildings.  Thanks!

He writes, ” I received these Pictures from a very good friend. They are from a small town called “Filandia”. This is a typical picture of these kinds of towns, many Willys (especially CJ-3Bs) group in the middle of the town, next to the stores so people use them as taxis after buying groceries. As you can see they are pretty much stock even though some modifications have been done to improve performance. Keep in mind this is not a Willys ride, a car show, or anything like that; it is just s typical day in Filandia. The pictures only show a few, but you can usually see more than 20 together. Their drivers have been doing this for so many years and usually with the same vehicles. They always tell you they will never sell their Willys since they have provided a way of living for almost 50 years. Finding a Willys in Colombia is no problem, finding someone willing to sell it is a different story. Enjoy.

Brand new reproduction Firestone 7.00-15 military lug tires on factory 15” steel wheels.

These trucks were built on the CJ-5 platform and featured a cab-forward body and a small pickup bed. Only 1,298 1961 FC-150’s were ever built and there are only a handful left in this condition. Beautiful Mountain Green Poly and Palm Beach Ivory two-tone with beige interior. Very reliable and can be driven anywhere. Top speed of about 55 MPH but will pull a house down the road. “Tool Time” Tim Taylor just paid $40,000 for one of these trucks in similar condition at the recent Arizona auctions, this truck can be bought for only $20,950.”

My Tube Bender

• CATEGORIES: Biscuit This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  I’ve added some final information to this post …

After a great deal of research, I felt the best option for a bender for my purposes was to build my own.  I quickly settled on Frank Takac’s plans from gotTrikes.com. Frank was great to deal with,  responsive to my email and the plans were  professional with plenty of tips, pics and information.  Frank told me that a 15 year old successfully built one of his benders.  You can see a variety of benders built by purchasers of Frank’s plans at his website.  I can strong recommend these plans if you are considering building your bender.

Frank recently added my project to his website.  You can view it here.

Here’s a few pics of my finished bender:

tube_bender1

tube_bender6

tube_bender5

PREVIOUSLY:

I’ve been slowly building my tube bender.  I followed most of the instructions I purchased (which were great — I’ll write more about that later), but I just couldn’t stand buying new metal when I had so much 1/4 inch angle iron laying around (thank you sis!).  So, I made several modifications based on the metal I had.

Also, during the process of building, I realized I just didn’t care whether the bender looked good (such as grinding welds, sanding it down, etc).  So, it is what it is.  I did have some leftover chrome paint, if not smooth, it is shiny.  I’m just waiting for a couple shafts to arrive in the mail and then I can start bending!

1948 CJ-2A Wenatchee, Wa $1000

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This is a project, but based on the parts list,  it sounds like it might be worth the price.  The front clip looks like it is fiberglass. I would guess the truck tranny is either a sm420 or sm456.  It’s difficult to see whether it would really only take a couple hours to make this run.

“48 cj2a, rebuilt 283, never started. Chevy truck 4 speed, rebuilt x-case, diff’s rebuilt W/11 in drums instead of 9. This jeep just needs finished. The front clip is almost worth what I’m asking. Realistically with a couple of hours you could be runnin. Wife said it’s gotta go. # is 630-6601, Price is negotiable. Thanx fer lookin.”
