1949_cj3a_simsburyUPDATE:  Back on eBay

This is a CJ-3A with a M-38 body and some stainless additions, such as the grille and jockey box.

“You are bidding on a beautifully restored 1949 Willys Overland Jeep.  It was aquired by a father and son in Utah who did much of the major restorations between 2000 and 2003.  During that time it also ran one of the Moab courses.  In 2003 it was purchased by a collector in Connecticut who did little more with it than store it in a heated garage.  I bought it in 2007.  The chasis, engine and drive train are original CJ3A (civilian) and the body is a steel M 38 (military).  It has after market front lock out hubs.  It is painted Subaru Electric Yellow.  The electrical system is 12 volts … reach seller directly at 860-966-0292”

Builds: Dan replaces the Hudson with a Saginaw

Sometime back, Dan’s grandfather had replaced the stock CJ-5 steering with a Hudson steering mechanism.  However, the bell crank has seen better days, so Dan decided to upgrade to a manual saginaw.  Upgrading to the manual saginaw is rare these days (see various steering upgrade options here), so it’s a nice treat to have Dan document his work for us.  Thanks Dan!

Dan writes:

Here is the Jeep soon after I picked it up from my grandfathers old ranch. I had already started to disassemble it. It’s a 1955 CJ5 which he purchased in 1959. About ten years ago he told me that his best guess was that it had about 500,000 miles on it. It has seen a lot of abuse and he made many modifications to it. That’s a Hudson steering wheel and column.

As you can see in this close up, the frame is broken clean in half just in front of the divers side front wheel.

The bellcrank where he relocated it. It was just about ready to literally fall off. All the welds were broken and only one bent bolt was holding it on.

Jim’s giving us an early look at the VEC CJ-2A he pulled out of Crawford, Colorado.  He’s planning on listing this on eBay very soon (unless he gets a good offer before then).  He’d really like it to go to someone who will give it a good restore.

He writes:  “I pulled this CJ-2A out of Crawford Colorado.  It has an early serial number, three on the tree, tool indents, 3 piece agri dash plate, early wire steering wheel, 6 volt, very little rust, runs great, motor is super quiet.  The serial number is 17614.”

If you can use some of the other Wagon parts, this might be a good way to get an Overdrive.

Hurray!  Thanks to both John and Joshua (who gave me the original glass covers).  Now, I’ve got glass, honeycombed light covers with some real chrome covers (as opposed to my painted ones).  This has been one of those lingering projects that it’s nice to have completed.

More updates later (after I eat some dinner).

This includes a set of 4 terra tires.  Is this a race jeep for PNW racing or mud bogs?  The tires look great.
