Should I? Willys Jeep project.........

[Bluesman]

long as you dont want to travel over 40 much

Truth. Roll bar, roll bar, roll bar.

[Aggie PhD]

Most definitely
But of course I saved a GPW last summer and have a 70 cj-5 and a couple 46 cj-2As sitting in a barn

My biggest issue is not trying to get more 😂

[Aggie PhD]

I am in the same boat! My parents are wanting to sell their CJ 7 jeep that's in a million parts right now. It was my grandpa's, and still has a bullet hole in the rear from someone shooting at them in the mountains of Colorado. I'm scared its going to cost too much for me to have someone put it together. Most everything is there, just need someone to put it together.

Buy it. They are plenty of manuals and forums out there with information. And they are not complex machines. You can put it back together I promise

[BertramBass]

Yes, we have a 48 that started and crapped out. I wish I had the ability to rebuild it.

That one is pretty cool and Id think that PTO winch on the back might be worth more than the average jeep

I believe around 48 is when they had the shorter hood and were more desirable. My step dad has a 48 with a Buick v6 and high seat. Fully restored. A couple times. LOL. Wish I could find the pics...

Love those old Jeeps!

its a 48 CJ2a. My granpaw bought it new and it came with two hurricane engines. All it was left over from Govt contracts from the war. Both engines had the hand pumps on the side to pump fuel if the fuel pump went out.

My dad traded one engine for airboat engine work back in the 80s. The jeep is now sitting at a family friends place who said he would take the tub and place it on a newer frame (that we bought) for the cost of the hurricane that was in the jeep. He pulled the motor and rebuilt it and its now in his 49.

Our jeep is currently pasture art and I sold the cj7 that was going to be a donor. Im not overly happy about it but its my dads deal so what do you do

[RedRocker]

NO, you should sell it to me!

[flyby]

Thanks guys. Looks like probably a done deal. Going to look at it again Saturday, pretty sure a deal will be made. Wife is all in on it, so that makes it even better.

[Dale Moser]

Is there a part that attaches that winch drive to the rear wheel?

Never seen a setup like that.

Now that you say something……I see it. It looks like it might just be some sort of extension of the winch.

its actually ran off the 4x4 system. Some of those jeeps will have 4 shifting knobs in the front. Gears, 2x4-4x4, hi-lo and one for the pto winch

I have my Granada’s 57 Willys Wagon. Original hurricane 6 engine with 58k miles.

LOVE those old jeeps!

Go for it! My wife grew up driving one around her parents ranch. She said the brakes barely worked but did not really matter because it would not go fast enough that you needed them.

i replaced the brake lines, wheel cylinders and pads a few years ago because they will go fast enought o tear up bump gates when they dont work.
