I have attached several photos of a Very Early CJ 2 a friend of mine is restoring - he calls it a VE CJ 2.
It is interesting due to several details - note the indentations on the tub for the pioneer tools (axe and shovel).
None of the photos show the most interesting feature - the gearshift is a three on the tree (like my '48 truck). This may well be considered to be a CJ 2, not a CJ 2A.
According to his story the transmissions for these early CJ's were left overs from Willys automobiles that did not get built at the start of WW II. Has anyone heard this account?
It is an interesting vehicle - we have had to build gear shift parts from drawings we found in various archives. ( I got bitten by the sideways photo bug .. )
