“1946 Willys Jeep Siberia Civilian Style Cab and Frame. This is a great Willys, I built it bolt by bolt. I had a Chevy 350 in it and twisted the rear drive line pulling wheelies everything else is just fine though. I will sell the transmission and the T18 transfer case twin stick if you would like it for $450 more. So its your choice. This is a special willies because of its hard top. The body is close to perfect, but not painted. Everything is good on it, if you get the tranny all you would need is the rear drive line and engine and you will be ready for anything. This jeep never has been stuck in anything, it goes up and through everything. I added a heater in it so that you have defrost and heat, if you need it. Call me with any questions, I know everything about this Jeep, I built it, I”

Extended GPW — One of Jim’s old GPWs
Jim and I had a few email exchanges about the extended flatties. After a little searching, he came up with these pics of a 1942 GPW that someone expanded and that Jim owned for a short time. It appears the builder was going to extend the front, though that looks pretty scary!
More discussion on extended jeeps tomorrow or friday.

1943 MB? Julian, Ca $750
This has a nice rollcage, and HEI distributor, v6 headers, and possibly a one wire alternator with the V-6. This might be a decent deal, especially if you have another tranny around.

1942 MB Estacada, OR **SOLD**

Every nut, bolt and mechanical part on the truck has been completely restored like new or replaced. The frame, all sheet metal components including the cab was sandblasted at the start of the restoration. All this including the mechanical work has been done in a professional manner. The engine has been completely rebuilt, the transmission refreshed and driveline joints replaced….”
My Build — One of those days …
I went out today to start the jeep. The battery was completely dead. This is the first time I have had any problems with the battery. Something drained the battery significantly. The only change I have made was plugging in the head lights, so I will have to do some more investigation into this.
But, I don’t give up easy. I wanted to run the engine, so I jumped the jeep and got it going.
I ran it half way around the block to help charge the battery.
Exactly half way around the block I ran out of gas. I knew my gas guage sender needed to be adjusted, but I still thought I had a little more gas.
I coasted to a stop … alternatively laughing and cussing.
So, I went and got gas from my garage, got the truck, put in some gas, jumped it once more, ran it home and put it quickly to bed. Tomorrow I go get a battery charger …. lol.
Builds – Gerald’s 1963 CJ-3B
Gerald recently purchased some tires. They are Goodyear casings P 235 /75/15 with V-Grip Hot Cap retreads from Import Export Tire in Latrobe, PA. This is a different seller than the Stone Tire Company I highlighted a few months ago.
Gerald writes, “The Rims are Appliance brand 13 spoke Manufactured by the W.R. Grace Co. in 1976, Max Wheel Load 1580 lbs. Model 1058V5 15 x 8.5 wide. The are 5 x 51/2 Bolt circe with a 3 1/2 inch offset. Lug nuts are a special washer and nut deal. Gorilla still makes them.”
Here’s a look at the casting
The Tires are Goodyear casings P 235 /75/15 with V-Grip Hot Cap retreads from Import Export Tire in Latrobe, PA. We always called the Mini Terra’s.
Here’s my 1963 3B Sporting the set-up.
We raced with these back in the 70’s and 80’s and finally found a place that would still do these.
Builds — More pics from Gerald
Here’s some more pics from Gerald.
“Here’s a picture of me with the same tires back in 83. Taking the turn hard in our 46 2A.”
I have several sets of wheels and tires. Guess they are kind of like shoes. 225 75 15 mud and snow on CJ steel rims on my 3B before green paint next to my brother’s M-38.
Here’s the CJ-3B with 700 16 Non Directional military tread on 4.5 x 16 rims
LT 245 75 16 All Terrain on black spoke wheel 16 x 7, good tires but heavy,
700 x 15 bias ply Good Year work horse on old split rims with tubes, great snow plow tire for chains and drag racing,
33 12 15 bias all terain tires on 8 1/2 x 15 steel wheels I love these rims but the tires are just too big.
Finally my new set of mini terras. I have a couple more combos I would like to try but they will have to wait.
