Holy crap
Another great find - that thing looks barely abused (again, relatively speaking, compared to some (bare) survivors I have seen over the years)
I'll have to get around for a look-see one of these days, if I ever find the time.

Jeep help.
Hi Eric,
Thanks for the info,this is a future project once the CMP is done,in the meantime I will try and learn as much as I can and scrounge all the parts I need to restore it. Mark, Lorne was over when I brought it home and he had a good look and said it is in nicer shape than what he started with.He pointed out the original Ford parts I have on the jeep and what I have that isn't.That is how I knew I had an MB rear driveshaft in the Jeep and bought a Ford driveshaft off of Jack today with a set of rear springs I needed.They are MB rear springs but the dimensions are the same and will have me back on jeep springs until I can put a set of Ford springs together.You can see in my photo's I have one spring with a broken end. Derk.

chassis number
John,
The serial number is 120595 and it turns out that the engine has possibly been replaced as the spot for the engine serial number is blank and the head is a willys not ford and could possibly be a CJ 2A engine.I won't know for sure until I take it out and steam it off but that is what it looks like for now. I have been searching for parts availability as I will need seats,bows,spare tire carrier,reflectors,etc and everything seems to be available either original or reproduction so it will be easier to restore and find parts to complete it.Do you have anybody in mind that is good to deal with for parts availability? Derk.
