1951_cj3a_phillipsburgUPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.

It looks like the top is melting.

“51 Willys CJ-3A. has a NY State regestration (no titles for cars that old) Converted to a 225 oddfire Buick V-6 used in CJ-5’s. Runs EXCELLENT. Lots of power. Starts right up. 3 speed manual from same CJ-5. Body is a aftermarket Willys body that is in great shape. the body only has slight surface rust and scraches. lots of new parts and tons of work done. Most of the conversion work is very well done, a few items need to be cleaned up (nothing bad). Needs finishing, eletric fan installed, seats bolted in and some electrical work. Top is not in great shape it’s only on to keep the inside dry. Call Steve at Lacey Williams Equipment from 8AM to 5PM.”

1946 CJ-2A Avondale, Az $7000

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

1946_cj2a_avondaleI’m wondering if auto appraisers make their money as a percentage of an appraisal, because every appraisal I’ve seen has been way off of the market value. The one thing I really like about this jeep is the cool old top and doors; it looks in good condition. I’m not sure what a “one piece roll cage” is exactly; maybe it is made from one tube? This jeep has some good upgrades.

“For Sale, 1946 Willys Jeep, Custom built from the ground up. Full one piece roll cage, Warn overdrive (you can split every gear, including reverse). Buick V6, 4 core radiator, power brakes, power steering, tilt / telescoping steering wheel, HEI ignition, manual / electronic fuel pump.  This has been in my family for almost 40 years, and was normally ONLY driven to hunt or to get ice cream.”

1953 CJ-3B Magadore, Oh $1150

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

1953_cj3b_mogadoreUPDATE:  A reader named Bob filed the following report: It was pretty beat but did run. Had an arctic hardtop on it and a few  rare things like the manual wiper and the rain gutter frame was ok … springs were broken. If it could be had for $700 of so it would be an ok deal. Thanks Bob!

“1953 Willys Jeep. I am not sure of the model, I have been told it is a CJ3B but there also is a tag on the firewall that says M-38. The jeep runs and drives and seems to be all original but the 4cyl engine knocks and the brakes don’t work. The transmission and transfer case seem to work great. The jeep also has an aluminum hardtop and has a West Virginia title. I am looking for $1150 OBO Call Mike (330) 607-3780 or Email gmck30@aol.com Thanks”

My Build – Replacing the Power Steering Pump

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

stu_olsonIt turns out my power steering pump had some bad bearings, as it squealed pretty good.  I called the local Schucks and the cost for a replacement was about $80.  So, I called the local junkyard and went shopping there.  After searching through four different rows, I found a pump from a ’90 Chevy Caprice that would work just fine.  The cost was only $25 and it came with a guarantee that it works.  For another $10 I also found a chrome extra deep TH350 pan which I had been thinking about getting..

Returning to the power steering pump, I had to figure out how to remove the pulley from the old pump and put it on the new pump.  So, I got online and found a great article from Stu Olson’s Jeep Site that described exactly what was needed.  To save you time, I have boiled it down to four basic steps:

  1. Go to your local Schucks or Autozone and ‘borrow’ a pulley remover and installer kit
  2. Remove the pulley with the puller
  3. Install the pulley with the installer
  4. Return the pulley to the store

Of course, being stubborn, I tried a variety of my other pullers, but couldn’t get that damn pulley to budge.  That’s when I finally went to set 1 above.
