'48 Willy's CJ2a Project(s)

[Deleted]

Probably make one out of two since I only have one vin plate. Might make a trailer out of the other one and sell off the rest of the parts.

The data tag reads - 171231
2.184.553

T98 Trans and a T18 T-case.

Looks like an adapter on the input shaft of the tranny.

Well I got another CJ2a to put together. Traded the slant 4cyl for the Willys.

Grill, windshield w/the window brackets, three radiators, fenders, horn, steering wheel and column, battery tray, extra springs, trans/t-case, skid plate etc.

Picking up the tub, hood and hopefully a 15gal military gas tank next week.

Also got her cleaned up a bit after rebuilding the carb on the J-10-I think I can work w/this









Mocked up the grill, fenders and windshield ass well.

I am going to use the blue tub and go SUA. I will use the rims off the teal Willys and maybe the windshield. Axles look better on the teal as well.

I have a chevy 350 (didn't want to go w/it but) to go in front of the T98 so it will be tight.

I want to put power brakes on as well and maybe some disc brakes up front UNLESS you all know if these 9" drums will work w/th v8.

Not gonna go crazy / speed but I do want to stop.

That's all for now.

Thanks,
Jim

Found a Chevy 350 & just bought a 2a frame w/a Buick v6 which will be here on Monday.

Not what to go with but the Buick would fit easier, just not sure I can mate it to my T-98.

I can't wait to see the 350 Implant! , The Buick, is it a 225 Dauntless? Love that too. I had a CJ5 with one in it back in the day.
Post some pics of those Gems Mr. President, I would love to see them.
