GPWs and that other copycat model came with thumb squirt oil cans mounted to the firewall in the engine compartment. There are very specific cans required to complete your restoration or reconditioned jeep...whichever one you may be working on. They were produced by specific manufactures, had a specific diameter base and length of spout. Did the post war jeeps have accessory/tool? This is not the can that would be found on a WW2 jeep, but...I bet some cowboy here would want this: Bwahahahahaha...this item would never me on my jeep! (Link) |

Civvy models didn't have one..... They figured if you was smart enough to own a WILLIS (not that true copy cat, three letter model), you would have an oil can already!

Well, with HG's wannabe military jeep, he probably should have one. And to put his own touch, he totally needs this. That's why there was a brass shortage during the war...HG's jeep used most of it.

Rumor going 'round is that Fastenal is still trying to get a handle on the sudden and unusual high brass nut demand in South Carolina...  I heard entire industries in the Midwest were shutdown due to lack of raw materials...  |

I actually contacted that seller and the base will not fit on my RFJP holder that I will be installing. Besides that I have an Eagle can that was Grandpas that I think will work.
Thanks for thinking of me though ...
Admit it, you do...

You laughed out loud?! Can you imagine the snort of beer that exited out my noise when I read it? I couldn't turn the screen off fast enough. Yet, I did snap a screenshot of it before erasing the history. I'll tell you why it matched that doofus up to me...it is because that pinhead tags me in something EVERYDAY. Geesh. Maybe one day I'll show you guys the picture. I'm afraid it'll circulate through the jeep forums and I'll be banished. Then again, is that such a bad thing anymore?

I took some gay FB quiz today. It said you were my soulmate. WTF Facebook?! I then deleted my account. Here is how it is Bastage. If you think we are friends and have come this far by accident.. Think again. We have done more good together in the Jeep world than most could ever hope to. Am I bragging, no ... You are just a purist Bastage that wishes he could let his inner artist come out. There is nothing gay about that. My wife can't keep her hands off me! And that's a fact! Here is where I come in. I don't care what the G503 says about me. Ha!!! It's not original after it rolls off the line! It is guys like us, and the members of this forum, that are the real Heros! This sport is not for Sissys . I appreciate trying to preserve the past, I am 100% in! So when FB tells you you are my soulmate , they are right! Ha!!! Deal with it. This doesn't mean we will be swapping spit in the shower, or that I would ever play Golf... Love you like a brother Bo Turocy. |

Actually came home early to miss the next storm. Made it to Cheyenne before it Jap slapped me a little. Laid over in Douglas Wyo. due to Black Ice. I was so close to grumpy I could reach out and touch him. Pulling a trailer on Black Ice is not for sissys. I actually was going to tour the Grand Canyon, go up through Moab and then Grand Junction. From Grand J., up to Rifle, Craig, and on to Casper to visit my friend. The storm ruined it all. Got home, but blew a tire near Gillette and tore off one of my trailer fenders. The mission was to sell my 1956 LeMans Austin Healey at RM Sotheby's auction in Phoenix. It was a astounding success. One which I'll remember for the rest of my life. I did learn that I am quite lucky to live where I do. It's quiet, polite, no lines, much cheaper costs, no rush, no traffic jams, green, cool, and mostly caucasion. I have nothing but praise for RM's group of fantastic people. Simply the best car auction house in the business. You have to have a special car for it to fit in. The car I wanted to bring home was a 1965 Competition 427 Cobra. Awesome cammed up race devil it was. I identified with it immediately since I have my home made one. It brought a cool 2.1 million dollars. When a auctioneer starts the bidding at ONE MILLION DOLLARS and gets a immediate bid, I get all amazed. Too bad mine wasn't one of those. They also had a red Mercedes 1937 540 K with a low estimate of------------13 MILLION!!!!!!!!!!!! It sold for 9.9 million boys! I got to go slap my face a few times now. Oilly

I bought that Healey with grumpy's help in Casper Wyo. I was going to fix it up and drive it. When the Heritage certificte came back positive it was one of the factory made LeMans Healeys, all plans changed. I spent a bunch of money and 4 1/2 years of painful attention to it. I always planned on selling it when I retired. Well, I did, and have. My one shot at the top. The rest is just dirty Jeeps. What killed me when I told people I actually built it, they asked: What are you doing next? All with great anticipation. When I told them I was working on a 1943 Ford GPW----------they just got quiet. Like I puked on them or something. They don't get it. Glad you enjoyed it Jeff. Oilly
