Gerald recently purchased some tires.  They are Goodyear casings P 235 /75/15 with V-Grip Hot Cap retreads from Import Export Tire in Latrobe, PA.  This is a different seller than the Stone Tire Company I highlighted a few months ago.

Gerald writes, “The Rims are Appliance brand 13 spoke Manufactured by the W.R. Grace Co. in 1976, Max Wheel Load 1580 lbs.  Model 1058V5 15 x 8.5 wide.  The are 5 x 51/2 Bolt circe with a 3 1/2 inch offset.  Lug nuts are a special washer and nut deal.  Gorilla still makes them.”

We raced with these back in the 70’s and 80’s and finally found a place that would still do these.

The engine is seized.  I can’t tell if this is an early or late ’46.

“i have a 1946 willys cj-2a with a clean title that is midway through a frame up restoration. it ran and drove great but the engine seized. it is an all steel body with zero rust but isn’t perfect.. its in primer right now and needs brake work other then an engine rebuild or a new engine. the jeep will come with many extra parts. the jeep is located outside of Oostburg. it will have to be hauled away on a trailer. e-mail with any questions and to set up a time to see it.  im asking 2000 obo trades a possibility. i also have a PTO for sale. the rear unit the drive shaft and where it bolts to the transfer case.”
