Against my will!

The floor replacement was easier than the dent repairs in the rear quarters and this is my first bit of body work I have ever done so it didnt come out perfect but I don’t think there is bondo any...

Thank you! Been slow in responding because I broke my kneecap about 10 mins after I made the last post! LOTS of memories and we are just getting started! Thanks for all the help

Ok that worked so here’s a couple more.

Been too long but I wanted to circle back with the forum as I really do appreciate the help offered by everyone.

We have been working away all winter and have disassembled and re-assembled this...

Looks like I have a full Frankenstein lol.

Going to research this more and see if I can figure out exactly which brakes I have and which pads I need. For now I might just grind the tips off the...

We have been busy with football season and injuries but all better now. We wire wheeled the whole frame and axles and got them painted up so getting ready to re-assemble the axles back onto the...

How big a tire can be run on these axles before steering will be too difficult? Width more than height is what I am asking…

Got her torn down to frame, axles now. Wire brushing beginning-...

@TJones thanks- still trying to figure out what I have!

@Bmorgil is there a place I can go to see what axles look like what? I have to search them for model numbers. We power washed it but was...

ok so then body tub is 1960 per S/N plate and engine is pre-52. Lots to learn!

Thanks for the info on the trans.

Will have to get axle info and see what else there is to learn.

My son has a...

I have read that link- I think the drivetrain will tell the tale. Jeep was originally white like this picture- 9820

I hope I am not breaking any hearts here but I am not going to re-use that top....

So, I agree based on what I have read. I 100% have a factory DJ tub with a factory top- the serial number agrees with info available online stating that it is a 1960 body. I have the staggered...

That is how it is set up- yes.

I definitely have that setup. So then I have a DJ tub on a 3A frame for sure or is there anything else to check? Need to confirm my axles. So far all the parts diagrams i have seen match the 3A so...

Me too- I want to purchase a bunch of parts for steering, suspension but waiting to see what the group thinks I have. I think the 3A parts will work for my steering, brakes, axles but need to be...

Will see if I cant find axle info but here is the LF motor mount.

9803

I appreciate the feedback! Going to power wash everything today so should be easier to see what’s what.

9801

Here is a clear shot of the frame and if I recall correctly the machine gun mount was a steel circle in the middle of the frame which I don’t have but please confirm. Fuel tank under the...

Picture process is going to take some studying but thank you for outlining it for me. ALso, there is no such thing as a hijack! Feel free to discuss :)

Firewall tag has it as a 1960 DJ3A as far...

@larrbeard - Hey thanks- the cat reminds me of many old vehicles that I have owned lol. This one is no different either.

Going to upload some more pictures of the chassis now that we have the...

New here because for my son’s senior project at his high school he decided to try to fix up a flat fender. We found a 1960 DJ3A for $2500 and picked it up last weekend and jumped right in. ...
