“This is a solid 1954 CJ-3B with an original rust-free body and original-style drivetrain. It had a frame off restoration at some point. The correct F-head engine is from an M38-A1.
It has the correct T-90A transmission, Dana 18 transfer case, Dana 44 rear axle, and Dana 25 front axle.

It also has a Koenig 50 PTO with front and rear outputs. The front PTO powers the Koenig 151-J winch.
