Fixin’ Patterson’s Windshield

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

Another item I tackled yesterday was Patterson’s windshield, specifically the twisters and a rear view mirror.

It wasn’t until yesterday that I realized Patterson didn’t have a rear view mirror. Fortunately, I had the mount from Rusty and a nearly correct mirror thanks to Chris McKay. This is before I added the mirror:

And after the mirror. 2017-05-20-windshield2

Next I addressed a couple of broken twisters. These are one of the unique features of a DJ-3A Convertible. The windshield is nearly like a CJ-3B, accept for the way the convertible top is supposed to attach to the windshield. Instead of a sliding mechanism, it uses those twisters. Two of Patterson’s twisters were broken. I had a few that I removed from Rusty (most of Rusty’s were broken), so I installed two of those onto Patterson. 2017-05-20-windshield3

The windshield is now complete and ready for a convertible top.

1965 FC-170 Sultana, CA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: FC150-FC170-M677 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** for $5200 on eBay.

Needs some work, but looks pretty solid.

“This is a 1965 Jeep FC 170. It is complete and in need of a total restoration. It has original mileage of 26,000. It has always been a farm/ranch vehicle and used to haul grapes to the packing house. As you can see it has the original seats and all gauges. I started working on it and found that i’m not going to have the time to get it up and going. So i’m offering it for sale. It has some rust in the back bed and the drivers floor but most everything else looks good. I tock quite a few pictures, but if you would like another view please let me know. I rebuilt the carburetor and found it very clean.

I was told it has been sitting for approximately 25/30 years. They broke the shifting lever on the outside of the transmission case and just parked it. A spare case and part will come with vehicle. They had two so this one just sat until know. It rolled onto the trailer fine, but the brakes will need to be gone through. Again, this is a complete original farm vehicle with the original mileage. It will need a good home. Comes with original shop manual. I have only a bill os sale and past registration form, but getting a title and keeping the black plates should not be an issue. There wasn’t a place to put bill of sale in title location so I put clear as there are no liens or any type.”
