It looks like the lack of bumperettes or holes to mount them is going to be the determining factor on whether or not this jeep was part of the Navy order. If I ever run into the previous owner’s...
It looks like it’s going to be tough to source. I haven’t found one in stock yet. Summit is saying mid-July.
That’s a nice looking distributor. Points are a bit worn. Mine was rusty and packed full of sand. I couldn’t believe it was still making spark.
I was just reading a thread about an “Iron Duke” in a GPW and a post in the same thread talked about a Chevy engine without hood modifications. I am not savvy enough to know the differences but it...
I always stopped to move either lever. I wouldn’t think it would be possible to do High and low on the fly because of the speed difference of the gears. In and out of 4wd might be doable if the front...
My copy of the CJ3A History Book By Bob Westerman arrived today. It didn’t dispel the notion that my CJ3A could be military. In fact, it appears to have been built during the same month (January...
That was easier than I thought: https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/d/addison-willys-jeep-cj2a/7475849984.html
I just saw a picture of CJ2A with an F head motor the other day. I didn’t notice any holes in the hood. I will see if I can find it again.
My generator experience is pretty limited and I don’t know at what engine RPM these generators need to produce power. I know on applications I am familiar with 1,000 rpm isn’t likely to get the...
About 30 years ago I looked at a Willys CJ5 that had an electric fuel pump. The owner had a few switches on the dash that had to be in the correct position to power the pump. Kind of a combination...
All the black is gone from mine. It appears to be embossed brass so this tag could be military. It was installed with pull rivets which makes me think it isn’t original to this CJ2A body and could...
Does a brass tag like the picture indicate anything? The one in my CJ2A is black and white.
I can’t watch the video at the moment but milky is usually water in the oil. If it’s foamy then it could just be over serviced.
Oil on the floor could be a leak in the oil pressure line or oil...
It would hard to prove anything on the Jeep itself because of the CJ2A body swap. It has a CJ3A serial number tag next to what I believe is a CJ2A paint code tag but that is all. The next time I am...
Is there anyway to pull the front housing without the rest of the transfer case or pull the transfer case and leave the front housing hanging by the shifters?
Black is my color of choice as well. The transmission and transfer case had been painted black at one time and the body is blue. Just wasn’t sure if rattle can was good or if I needed to mix...
I am finally getting some parts cleaned up and ready to assemble. What are the popular paint options for things like the transfer case and transmission? This won’t be a show piece but I want it to...
That’s kind of disconcerting news about the new blocks. I am fairly certain I will need one for the 2A if I ever get the 3A back together. Too soon to for me to really speculate on it but I was...
I forgot the brakes. It appears to be the Chevy disc conversion on the front. The rear are original with the lines pinched shut because it has an original master cylinder. I wouldn’t want to do any...
Bubba does some interesting things. He put a CJ2 tub on my CJ3A frame while keeping the manual starter linkage, 3A windshield and M38 hood, cut the threads off one axle and reversed the bearing caps...
I don’t see it in any of my parts books but the CJ3B isn’t listed in them. Just the GPW, MB, M38, M38A1, 2A and 3A.
Could it be a frame reinforcement for implements on a farm jeep or a snow plow?

There was a thread a short while ago that mentioned an adapter to put the 2A engine in a 3A. Maybe that would help.
