I make enough mistakes on my own to seriously slow down progress that I really don’t need the parts suppliers sending me the wrong parts. I just...

That color is going to look great on that big rig!

My guess is Yes it will be all together by then!!! I do Love the color JB!!!!!

Question of the Day: Will the Willys be back together and running, by October 15 2022(One year anniversary date where I tore it apart and started...

The F head sits higher than the L head, so take that in consideration for the tub having enough room to slide forward. The F head sits up another 2...

This is interesting Wulfie... If your tub was like mine, the problem is the Bracket that bolts to the back of the block on the L134. I am not sure...

Seems like your major problem with body fitting is the firewall to close to engine. I have a F 134 engine seized of course but was wondering if i...

Wulfie, you really need to tell me ahead of time that you were just doing temporary repair, not for the final fix! You are scaring the hell out of...

The ross housing Im using is not the one Im gonna use. When I get the new steering worm shaft I will get it right . The one I did is just for moving...

Wulfie, you should remove the one that is loose and send it back. You need the bushings to "collapse" inward from the press fit. It needs to be tight...

Had one to press in the long one , but short one not so tight so I red lock tight it in . Sector shaft was very tight fit if not fit at all , so I...

Wulfie, are you anywhere near Corpus Christi? I know of a small one person machine and tool shop there, that will do it for you I am sure. Give Ed a...

Yessir ...

Don't you just hate rust? There are a few places that sell the stainless line in bulk if you want to fab your own. If you have a good flaring tool,...

Thanks for the tip. Tulsa is about an hour and a half away for me.

I agree with Bmorgil on the steering shaft welding. I have done sketchy repairs myself, but without the proper prep and weld penetration, you'll be...

This marks the first time I ever purchased a prebent line set that was not stainless steel. This decision was somewhat forced on me due to the dual...

Do you have a regular Tool and Die Machine shop, not an engine machine shop near you? There is a place I have worked with in Tulsa. B T Machine in ...

Good machine shops are hard to find here too. If you do find one they are months behind and projects for the little guys go to the bottom of the list...

Yea well im gonna use it just for moving the frame around , plan to use new tube when it comes. Tnx LarrBeard and bmorgil . Machine shops around here...

Cutting and welding steering shafts is not a good idea guy's. The worm gear to shaft interface is critical.The two pieces are machined to fit...

A different view ... That is a good plan. 'Way back in about '65 or '66, I had to replace the worm on the '48 truck. I took a station wagon worm...

Hint - paint the brake lines - they tend to want to corrode or rust a bit.

It takes a .875 reamer. Any machine shop or machine supply house will have them. I would suggest taking it to a machine shop. It will save you the...

Yes that would indicate a model 27. You must have a late build. The 27 really didn't show up until 1966. However as we all have found and have been...

Well got most parts for steering except main thing ,. no shaft with wsorm gear , called KaiserWillys and had no clue when I would get it , but good...

I'm 100% positive it was never changed from new. The front of the housing has the number "27" cast into it, which is why I guessed it to be a 27???

I cant quite tell from the pic. It should be a 25 in a 65' CJ5, it could be a 27 in a late one and ya never know what someone might have slipped in....

Front axle: New springs, bushings, shackles, shocks, pivot eye bolts, and shackle brackets. Cleaned up the front portion of the frame and painted it...

Manifold to tail pipe new exhaust system and new pre-bent brake lines. Prices for these parts are shocking to me. The exhaust kit didn't even...
