Reader Question: The size of CJ-2A blocks

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

A reader asked about the original size of CJ-2A hood blocks.  A quick search revealed this was a forum topic on the CJ-2A PagePlease visit the forum to learn more.  I tried to create a quick link to the picture in the forum, but the forum won’t let me, so here’s a copy of the drawing submitted and a great pic of a 1945 CJ-2A which shows the blocks really well.  There’s also a CAD drawing that you can find in the forum as well that should help with the blocks.

The photo was posted to the CJ-2A page forum by the forum moderator Sean and the drawing was done by Joe DeYoung.

And here’s the pic and caption of the ’45 willys submitted to the CJ-2A forum by the forum moderator Sean  [This is a 1945 photo of a new 1945 CJ2A (photo courtesy Bill Oakes)]:

It’s a bit rough.  I can’t tell if there’s just some surface rust or if it is worse than that.

1947_cj2a_saratogaUPDATE:  Still Available

It appears the tailgate has been eliminated.  Apparently, this sports an Olds V-6.   I haven’t seen a buick v6 with the alternator swapped to the driver’s side, though I suppose it is possible.

“All steel body, Olds V6. All stock running gear. New battery, rebuild carb ( 08-09) P/S. Manual brakes. Runs fine. Full roll cage. Old AM/FM/cassete and CB. (speakers are in a box, not installed.) Warn winch (not in photos) now mounted. Doors included. New spare. 408-988-0668”

Reader Builds: A reader tows home a part’s jeep

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

UPDATE:  There was some interest in the Capstan winch from David’ part’s jeep that I featured the other day.  Here’s some additional views of it.

You can still find parts for Capstan winches here, though they are out of the Capstan kits (which cost $2,650).  Brian also runs a ‘Capstan’s for sale’ page, but appears all sold out at the moment.   And here’s a little nautical history of the Capstan winch from wikipedia.  And here’s some info from the CJ-3B page on the Ramsey Capstan Winch, including some pics of the brochure.
