Ok so I made some further progress yesterday on the disassembly. Removed the following items: Both drive shafts Brake master cylinder Brake lines Clutch Wheels Exhaust manifold Shocks Steering parts I unbolted the transfer case and transmission from the engine but cannot get the two to come...

Yes it's fully road worthy and legal. It is registered in GA. No longer for sale. Had a change of heart. I'm doing a full restoration.

I've had the old CJ5 for about a year. I've been driving it but multiple problems have added up and I've decided to do a total restoration. It has the original "Hurricane 4" engine with 3 speed T-90. The body has a bunch of bondo and will surely need a lot of work. This weekend I took the body...

Thanks! I love it! I'm having second thoughts. I don't think I can part with her. I think I will continue to empty my pockets for ye ole CJ. :-)

Forgot to mention that I recently replaced the entire fuel system. New plastic fuel tank, new lines, new filter, new electric pump.

I have a 1956 CJ5 for sale in Columbus, GA. It is in good running condition. It has the original hurricane 4 engine with 3 speed. 4x4 works well and jeep droves well. Items recently replaced or rebuilt: New solex carb All new drum brakes New exhaust New optima red top battery New brake master...

Ok so I posted the engine block serial number on my first post here months ago. How do I interpret this number and figure out the year? Thanks

My VIN is long gone, hence I was trying to see if I could use the engine block SN to figure out it's age.

Yes it is a stock engine. Thanks!

Thanks, I rebuilt the carb and everything in the fuel system. There is only one fuel filter. I took the advice of one of the above members and sprayed a can of sea foam into the carb. After that all the symptoms have disappeared and it runs beautifully! I do wonder if I should be putting a lead...

I should note that it is hard to start because the battery is always dead. A separate issue, something is draining the battery slowly so I have to slave start it.

Usually it is hard to start back up once it stalls.

I replaced the fuel tank with a plastic tank and sending unit from MTS automotive. I replaced the line with a rubber line. I installed an online fuel filter. I was able to start the jeep with a lot of difficulty. Once it started I let it idle for about 20 minutes and it still ran. This tells me...

I discovered that the manufacturer (MTS), stopped making their plastic fuel tanks with the attachment for the fuel line on the bottom. The line attaches at the sending unit on top of the gas tank. So I need to purchase their sending unit. Learn something new everyday.

I just replaced my old rusted metal under seat tank with a plastic tank. The metal tank had an attachment point under it for the fuel line to connect. However, the new plastic tank has no such attachment point. Where am I suppose to attach the fuel line? Do I have to fabricated an attachment...

Thanks TLCJ5!

Hey everyone, I am looking to replace m y seats that came off what I'm guessing was a bass boat with authentic looking original style seats. I have a 1956 CJ5. I can't find any place that sells CJ5 seats. Any ideas? Also, any ideas where the single reverse light gets mounted? Thanks!

I just removed my fuel tank from my 56 CJ5 because it was leaking and had debris and rust flakes in it. Should I put in an original style metal gas tank or a newer style plastic variant? Also, when I pulled out the fuel line it was black rubber hose, not the original metal line. I am leaning...

I have the 4 cylinder F 134 engine with the 3 speed transmission. I am not sure what the transfer case nomenclature is but it has two sticks. The left stick has an in and out position. The right stick has 4H, N and 4L positions. I only took one picture so far but as you can see I have removed...

I purchased an early CJ5 for $2500 last month and began the restoration. I am trying to figure out what year the Jeep was manufactured. I cannot find a serial number anywhere on the frame or body. However, I did find one on the engine block. It reads SD 807895. Does anyone know how to interpret...
