“Here for your consideration is an April 13th, 1943 Louisville, KY production Ford GPW 1/4 ton jeep. Disassembly was begun so there are some loose parts. Perfect restoration project. Has all four wheels (post war CJ rims with modern street tires) but not pictured. Has a post war early CJ motor that is not seized up. I purchased this almost two years ago but with two other WWII jeep projects this one has to go.”

Getting the Bends (Correct)
More-months-than-I-care-to-think-about ago (about seven months I think), I bought a cheap Affordable Bender. When it arrived, I was less than impressed with the collar (see this post). So, I called them, only to learn that the collar was designed that way and should work fine (I believe they told me “Billions” of bends have been done with Affordable Benders, or something like that).
So, I decided to test the bender before sending it back; I hadn’t expected to wait 7 months to test it!
Yesterday, I mounted it to my metal work table and tested it with a 90 degree bend, one of two I need for the racer’s main loop (it’s the most difficult bend of the entire roll cage). The bender comes with a 90 degree die, so I was a little worried wether the bender would do a 90 degree bend.
First off, it didn’t take me long to miss my old bender, the one I built from plans: http://www.ewillys.com/2009/10/08/my-tube-bender-almost-done/. But, since I couldn’t access my plan (lock PDF with no password and the author of the PDF wouldn’t answer my emails), I had to buy this AFF bender.
Here are the results of the 90 degree bend .. as you can see, it stops short of a 90 degree bend:
Ugh .. what It meant is that I had to force the 15′ tube through the collar a few inches so I could add an additional bend. While that worked, I bent it too far (I misread my level .. it went to 90 degrees which I missed, then started down to 88, so I thought it was at 88 and needed to go to 90. UGH .. had to start over).
Eventually, I got the hang of how to do a 90 degree bend with this and managed to create the loop below.
This pic shows the first 90 finished and I’m starting on the second.
This shows the second 90 done. That is all the 90s I need, so the rest of the bends should be much easier.
I still have two more bends on this loop (the bars are parallel, though don’t look that way in the pics), which I’ll complete tomorrow.
Modified Truck on FB
UPDATE: Dwayne posted some more pics of his truck on Facebook. You can see them below:
This image was posted a few days ago by Dwayne Brown. I am guessing the the back bed is a modified wagon back? It reminds me a little of the “Tender” wagons. Looks like a great rig!

1953? Magazine Ad on eBay
This unusual ad appears to include an M-38A1. It also shows a CJ-3B, but not a CJ-3A, so my guess is 1953.

“1956 Willys DJ3A “The Dispatcher” Slated as a light delivery vehicle this is the first year for this model of Willys. The production number stamped in the frame is 1183 (see pics). This was my dads first vehicle and has been in the family since 1961. As far as I know we were the second owner. I have the original title. It’s a project. I have almost all of the original parts. What is missing is the motor, radiator, and seats. I have three of the original hubcaps. I have two tires on it that do hold air. The floor pans are rusted out. Last time it was on the road was 1973. It does have a factory heater. If you know the DJ’s then you know it is factory 2wd. I also have the doors. This is very difficult to post as I have a long history with this vehicle. Circumstances in life change and sometimes you have to let go of dreams. Ask any questions you want. I have more pics somewhere I will add later.”
