Year? CJ-5 Dryden, NY $600

• CATEGORIES: CJ5 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Craig shared this ad. It’s listed as a 1952, but it looks like a CJ-5, which means it is 1955 or later.

“1952 Jeep Willy’s for parts or to fix up. Comes with a plow and hard doors. It has a four cylinder motor and could be made to run like it is or fixed up.”

Working Away

With the rain staying away for a few days, I booked it over to Renton for a few days to work on Rusty. Here are a few of the things I did today.

I did a little more straightening to the body. This time I wanted to remove a bow along the top back. I’ve mounted a board as a straight edge. You can see the cancer in the rear.

2017-04-09-rusty-body-work2You can see there’s a gap between the board and the back.

2017-04-09-rusty-body-work1After some clamps and some sweet talking with a 5lb sledge, I coaxed the back into line.

Then I played doctor and removed the cancer.2017-04-09-rusty-body-work4

Year? Photo of Jeep Driving onto a Float on eBay

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

It’s dated Nov 29, 1940, which is highly unlikely given this version of the jeep hadn’t been built yet. I’d guess more like late Nov 29, 1942 is more likely.

“1940 Press Photo US Military Men Directing Jeep on a Float. This is an original press photo. US Military men directing jeep on a float.Photo measures 10 x 8.25inches. Photo is dated 11-29-1940.”
