1948 CJ-2A & 1946 CJ-2A Sumner, WA

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

The 1948 looks solid, but the drain holes appear filled. The 1946 needs some work (no parking lights for example), so to call it “perfect running and driving condition” seems a stretch.

“Two Willys Jeeps CJ-2A One is a 1948 and one 1946 Both 2nd owner and sat 40 years.
Both Perfect Running and Driving Condition. Asking $13,500.00 for the Green Jeep which is all original, $12,500.00 For Brown Jeep which has had a newer motor installed.
Will sell both as package for $22,000.00”

It’s the Little Things

No updates tonight other than this one.

We made it to Seattle a couple days ago. I made some more progress blasting some smaller parts yesterday. In order to blast the t-handle parking brake, I had to disassemble it. The last thing to remove was a screw/pin so I could remove the brake lever from its housing. I didn’t know whether to unscrew or press out the screw/pin, but as I examined iI felt pretty sure it should press out. Still, I thought it best to text a friend: Chris McKay.  He said he thought it was pressed out, too. So, I set out to remove the pin.

Here is what the brake looks like assembled.

Here’s the top of the pin:

This shows the back side. I had to line up the hole in the housing with the back of the pin:parking-brake-rusty3

I grabbed a small socket to catch the pin and an object that could press through the hole:parking-brake-rusty4
