You even know how it is supposed to smell; anti-freeze, motor oil, gear lube, something getting hot. Your...
You have a lot of Wagon left to work on. Not many rust-throughs and a lot of nice pieces left - especially the wood inserts for the back end.
Yeah, there are challenges and opportunities (e.g....

The Heep would be our Tank Retriever!
In WWII times, if a Navy ship had warning that they were about to engage in a battle, one of the evolutions was; "Rig to tow or be towed". As you might expect, it involved laying out a lot of heavy...
You will pay more from WillysOverland, but you will have a lot fewer frustrations, skinned knuckles, slag burns and cuss words!
I think a Texas phrase is ; "All hat, no cows".
After the paint job you did on "The Orange Crush", I want to see what you come up with this time. The '51 stock colors of Emerald Green (peeJ), Tunisian Red and Manila Red really pop in modern...
[QUOTE=bmorgil;15660]Something about LarrBeard being a stinky old goat? "
I represent that remark.
I am not stinky. Well, unless I've been in a shooting coat on a hot day or I've been under...
Are you trying to get me to tell the goat story again?
The Instrument cluster, radio, and glove box doors were also the same, although the face was different for different years (46 - early 50). I think the heaters were different, but I'm not sure. I...
You could become out Jeepster subject matter expert if you stick around too long!
We don't know why the website tool does that to pictures on occasion.
Go ahead, post them - we'll figure it out!

It looks like a good starting...
That is probably as close as you are going to get for an answer and it makes sense given what was going on with the company at the time.
It is a very nice example. Enjoy it - flaunt it and wave...
Welcome to the wild and wonderful world of Jeeps!
Willys-Overland was, to say the least, not the best organized company when it came to keeping configuration records - or even being consistent...
The main advantage of DOT 5 fluid is its higher boiling point - something you might have concerns about in your German Mercedes or other really high performance car, but probably not in a CJ.

I wish I had painted my brake and fuel lines, the new spring sets as well.
As the old boy down home used to say; "If Jesus don't come back and the river don't flood, I'm gonna be all over that".
I have my Parade Ticket from last year safely put away where I know where...
Here may be an idea. The oil you drained was really nasty stuff, but we don’t know its’ viscosity. It could have been 10W30 or even 5W30. You refilled it with 30W non-detergent oil, a good choice...
Wow, not bad at all.
Thank you so much for the photo tour!

One more hint:
The newer phone cameras have very high resolution and pictures make a very large file. The KWAS website does a pretty good job of resizing large files, but on occasion I have to go...
Lastly, I looked for the engine serial number.
Look on the ledge just behind the water pump. If the block was planed off to level it, it may be gone.
