That would be nice; is 13" long enough though?

(I know - just get a longer one if it isn't).

I came in a bit late, but I agree that #6, copper is the best choice.

The alternator will, as the other guys said, only deliver as much current as the battery asks for. Unless you put a honkin'...

A few words about alternators:

When we restored the '48, the front bumper had a bend in it from the time that one of the mothers bounced Dad's truck off of a pine tree at a scout camp out in about 1957 or 1958. (Dad was cooking...

That's what Old Jeeps are for.

I bought headlight rings from KW - very nice.

I also bought steps for the'48 truck. They looked like inverted cake pans and we sent them back. The edges were way too rounded off - so we reworked...

Well, we all have "Million Dollar Jeeps", we just don't admit it to our wives.

You are indeed a wise man to put so much effort into brakes. Some guys let brakes be an afterthought and their biggest effort is to just get a Jeep running.

Getting it to stop is as...

Mice - little bas&^%$s!..

Well. you may consider it rookie, but you seem to have gotten a really good handle on fixing those places.

I had never looked at that area in a little Jeep and I just wondered if you had made an improvement - that would have been a wicked sharp corner.....

Is the bevel on the fender well original, or is that a custom improvement?

WOW! Topless .. look at that rack, er roll bar!

When I put the F-134 in the '48, I split the line and put in a filter. This is a bit smaller that the glass bowl add-on

That is a good move. We don't drive our rebuilt Jeeps enough to keep fuel stirred up and as fuel sits, water condenses in the tank. Plastic won't rust and get flaky to stop up filters, fuel pumps...
