You always want to take the differentials apart - there are surprises that might be in there if you "assume" things are going to be OK.
All that was between me and a disaster was a thin eroded...
Run Felipe - run like the wind. Even though I am a Hoosier, I am scared by the Jasper reviews. There is someone a lot closer to home who can rebuild that engine for you - you just haven't found...
Well, from that view it looks like a Willys Wagon....
Is the pretty green Jeep a new resident in your garage - or did the order of the pictures get reversed?
A box-o-goodies; Christmas in June!
Dern that's plumb. Most of us are at least a half-bubble off plumb.
Enjoy the time with the boys. The Jeep can wait - they can't. I'm very lucky - my kids and grandkids are past the coaching stage, but I've ended up as coach for a Junior High Power Shooting Team. ...
Ummmm Kemo Sabe. Water in transmission and transfer case not good news.
Seriously, you will probably find issues with both on them if there has been water standing in them very long.
When I restored the '48, I replaced the radiator. My Dad had it repaired in the late 50's or early 60's and I remember watching the guy at the radiator shop pull off the tank and solder the leaking...
You are doing the right things. Getting it to run is important and that is where a lot of guys put their emphasis, but making sure it stops is just as important.
After those two things get done...
"Also a question about these springs in pic , are they usable or should be replaced ? They are pretty rust in between each spring ."
I'm cheap. so take this advice with that in mind. If you don't...
Yep - did that on the '48 - fenders all break at about the same place.
Yeah, you find little "oh-by-the-ways" as you get the top layer of crud off.
It looks like those should be an easy fix (note I said "should"). With my luck, the whole area blows out and it takes...
...and its a rush when it happens!
It's like opening the throttle on a turbine aircraft and getting an unexpected BANG from a compressor stall. You'll never forget the first time and after that,...
"That bad boy is an sleeper..."
Sleepers were little old Grannies in a nondescript gray or green Plymouth that had a Hemi buried in it...
That Bad Boy is not a sleeper - with all of the goodies...
" "Death Rattle" can shake the vehicle right off the road."
Been there, had it happen. It didn't shake me of the road, but it did make me have to come to a complete stop in the middle of a busy...
Phone? Or will the truth ever be known?
I am generally not a fan of tearing up an old Jeep to make it something it wasn't - mainly because most times it looks like Bubba, Junior and LeRoy started a job under the shade tree and after a case...
You got your money's worth out of that one. Clutch pedals having left-right wobble are not that unusual. Two surfaces wear; the hanger on which the clutch and brake pedals swivel and the hole...
Yeah, it is not glamorous, but when you are done it will look like something off of the front of a FW-190 or a Corsair - it will look like it grew there.
That is the way they did it back then - none of these fancy "no tamper" fasteners to hold on VIN plates, just four screws.
Where in Tennessee are you? The '48 and I started out in Jackson, over...
I would stay with the original fenders. They are not that hard to rework - on the '48 we did a fair amount of splicing and piecing to add back the parts that had broken off. Getting a good fit on...
And the sand blasting cabinet keeps all of the mess inside and keeps the shop cleaner; a selling point for the bride!.

Welcome to the group. I concur with the 1960 CJ-5 identification. 57548 identifies it as a CJ-5 and the 119396 puts it in the middle of the 1960 serial number block.
The engine is...
