Ah heck, you're still a kid in this bunch.
I have been driving my Dad's truck since I was 12-years old, about 63 years. But - it sat in a barn for 35-years and it came time to either sell it for scrap and give the barn owner the proceeds for storing it all that time, or do something with it.
Luckily I was able to take the second choice.
Welcome to the group. Ask anything - there is really no stupid question around here. Feel free to confess your mistakes, we learn from one another and although we may snicker - we just didn't get caught.
We make fun of ourselves, we brag about our Jeeps. We cuss at our Jeeps, we tell Sea Stories about things not really related to Jeeps ("There was this one time ...".)
But you need to really understand the Two Rules of Jeep going in:
Rule 1: What you see is what you have. Believe nothing that is written or told to you about your Jeep until you verify it with your own eyes.
Rule 2: Never say "Willys-Overland would never have ____________________." Fill in the blank with whatever weird thing you find. W-O never threw away anything but records of what they used to build Jeeps.
Oh yes, there is one small entry fee to the Forum - you need to post a picture of your Jeep.
Oh by the way - the truck is a '48 2WD, so we can both go into the '48 Club
