Cleaned out all the garbage out of it, found a Utah license plate in the toolbox. Then it was time to get it running. First thing I did was rewire the the mess of a harness. I had a combination of 60 plus year old original wires with many many cut and splice wires, some that went in circles...

This will be the even slower build for my 1947 Willys-Overland CJ2A. Honest, it followed me home! 1947 CJ2A with (What I was told) a 1953 "F" head 134c.i. motor. Came from Utah and been in Ohio for 8 years or so. Did not run and the reason he stopped driving it was because it needed a fuel...

The tub I am now using.

Well the body I was going to use was extremely rotted out with, loaded with bondo and many many terrible repairs ( that were also rotting.) I decided to use my another body that was in much better shape. I will cut the floor out and use that for the rear of my '47, which did not have one.

Found out the frame was a CJ5 built in February 1960. I then put the frame in the garage and removed everything. I wire brushed/sand blasted the frame a painted it. When finished with that, I placed axles under it temporarily, easier to move around. Put on the 33's and hooked up the steering...

I had a CJ2A that was beyond rebuilding as the rust claimed a lot of it.It was cut up and the pieces I saved went on the frame to see if it would work. ( first 3 photos) I started work on the frame, cutting the 3 feet overhang of the rear

I have come to the conclusion that it is a late 50's/early 60's CJ5 frame that was extended 2 feet in the middle and 3 feet added to the end. For what purpose I have no idea and neither does the previous owner. He bought it from his neighbor and she cannot recall what her late husbands plans...

Log time, no post. :lol: Anyway... This will be my slow build of my CJ2A into a truck. It has been done before, Chad over at TheCJ2Apage.com everything about the Willys CJ2A Jeep built a very nice one. Jeff ( inedjep) from JawzJP Customs is building a more modern one out of a YJ...

Very nice.

not that hard just a bunch of bolts to remove while on your back = not fun Air tools if available.

tip #1 wear gloves :) take a quick spin around the block to warm the fluid up. park on flat surface. starting at one end of the pan loosen and remove all bolts. When you have like 6 bolts left loosen them all, but keep them in. if pan has not dropped yet, gently pry it. Fluid should...

How much do you have invested in it?

You could always remove the panel, its not that difficult and see if the connection came loose, which is what it sounds like. Welcome to jeepz.

For the life of me I could not think of the name of them.

new to me hood vents. from a late 70's Mustang. Not a perfect fit, need slight modification. But they let the heat out.
