Now after seeing your other thread I am 100% positive you will be good to that Jeep! I think you will be much happier going stock but that is just my 2 cents. Stock or not I say leave the pto it is kind of a neat option and pays homage to it's post military life but it's your call. As for those...
You can never have enough Jeeps! Up north here we can't even find them unless they are rusted to dust and you are willing to pay a arm and 2 leggs. Keep them then if you ever need another one you have it!

The Buick odd fire v6 that is in there is total garbage. They were junk when new and junk now, I know I worked on them. That is why Buick sold the design and only bought the rights back to produce it until the development was done on the even fire v6. After seeing the restoration you did on that...
As some one who has repaired and painted way to many 73-87 Chevy trucks I can tell you it is best to cut out and replace the metal. New front fenders are cheap compared to rust repair and will last a whole lot longer. Buy complete panels when you can, (full inner & outter rocker panels for...
I would just knock the porcelain out and weld closed. When I was poor as a kid I knocked the porcelain out of a plug and made a TDC stop for degreeing the cam in my 454 elcamino. Almost 30 years later as a poor adult I'm still using it.aua

You have to keep that front grill guard! I hate to say it but that cab is probably one of if not the best home fabricated cabs I have ever seen on a jeep. With all that said if you do as good a job on the jeep as the WC that thing is sure to be a knock out!

I always wanted a diesel powered gocart but I think the governer issue would be tough to resolve. The torque it would have would be a lot more fun. Gas however would still be a lot of fun.

It looks like crap! It would look much better hooked to the back of my deuce in my yard! :lol:
Seriously man, you did a good job! It looks great.

Dude, just do a search or just read back a few days Gimpy has helped a lot of people with the same issues you are having and he provided great pictures and write up also. So easy even a cave man could do it.

Easy job, first off the square gasket is used only on the Gamma Goat I believe, throw it away. To run the new wire up the column take a long straight piece of mechanics wire (about 2 ft longer than the column) make a tiny loop in the end of it with a pair of needle nose pliers. From the inside...
Carolyn,
It is sad to say most of the value historically and monetarily was cut away when the fire apparatus was removed. That is the bad news. But from what I can see in the few pictures you posted it looks like your father really liked the truck and put a lot of effort into it's...
Those trucks were built for the lend lease program during WWII around the 1941-42 time period I believe. Most were shipped overseas very few stayed in the U.S. Good luck finding information I'm sorry I cant help you any more, but stick around someone I'm sure around here will be able to help...
I do not think that is a crank driven winch because I see no way to reverse it. I believe it is a pto driven winch probably off of an old tow truck. In that case you will need a forward and reverse pto. Expect to pay about $500.00 for a used one or about $2,000.00 for a new if you can find them...
Be glad you didn't have a kid like me. When I was 12 years old I decided one day my dad's 74 maroon Olds Delta 88 (which had faded to white by1978) needed a new paint job. Step 1 was to steal the car when he was at work. Step 2 was to do as many burnouts as I could smoking the rear tires into...
