“1966 Jeep CJ5 Tuxedo Park. 350 Jeep Wagoneer engine (aka Buick) from 1970 Jeep Wagoneer in place of the original Jeep V6. (mileage unknown) Manual steering, drum brakes, 33×14.50×15 Mickey Thompson Tires. 3 speed transmission. New custom dual exhaust with vintage single chamber mufflers. Sounds great! Lots of receipts & new parts. Title in hand. Not currently tagged. Runs but has old gas from just sitting in the garage all the time & may need to be primed &/or temperamental. Comes with two hoods. The big hood has a couple small stress cracks seen up close. Comes with original removable soft doors & bikini top. Its very unique & its is quite a head turner. It is +56 years old and far from perfect. It is not a daily driver, its a piece of history. I am getting rid of it because I have lost interest. Cash or possible trade for other unique toys like Scout, Willys, Tractor, & ATV. I do not respond to “is this still available” & I do not respond to online offers. More details and pictures are available upon serious inquires.”

Overdrive Differences

Will shared pics that show some of the differences between a Warn overdrive with a Husky overdrive. Regarding finding Husky parts, my best guess for parts would be Herm Tilford.

Will writes, “A little while back there was a discussion on the different overdrive units. There where several different units produced and maybe others but the ones I’ve seen are Warn, Dualmatic, Saturn, Husky and ATV overdrives that all looked similar. Saturn is a direct decedent of the Warn as Advance Adapters purchased the tooling from Warn to make the Saturn. I don’t know much about the Dualmatic or ATV except ATV is still produced as is Saturn.

Anyway I had mentioned that the Husky had a different angle to the planetary gears, Sun gear and bowl gear than Warn. These pictures show how the Warn had much more tooth angle than Husky and as such these parts do not interchange and Husky parts are near impossible to find.”

In 1957-58 4 Italians Drove to Toledo the Long Way

• CATEGORIES: Features, International, Old News Articles • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: This was first posted in August of 2016.

This September 13, 1958, article from the Toledo Blade told the story of four italians who drove what appears to be a WWII jeep a distance of 80,000 miles from Italy to Toledo. The men, all newspapermen, planned to drive another 15,000 miles back to Italy. What a trip! I wonder if their counterparts in 2013 knew of their countrymen’s adventure?
