Jerry Jeep

I filled them with grease and a bit of oil it will stop when you start driving it the jeep leans because of the extra spring on the drivers side and the new type springs very hard no give only way to stop the lean is make some longer dog bones that fit to the extra spring photo below

so now i have finished steviem jeep for him and some time before the next one comes in i have started with my next jeep a very late ford gpw that has the exhaust out the back  no fuel filter on the bulk head and a load of other late parts that i have in stock first started with the front axle needs a new crown wheel and pinion fitting the ford springs that i reset and the back axle that i did some time back all the best jerry

today steviems jeep was on its way back to him John picked it up with his truck and a few photos later it was off hope you have as much fun with your jeep as i have over the years with my trucks i got my first jeep when i was 20 and i still have her in the workshop she cost me £1750 along with extra axles gear boxes and engine keep in touch all the best jerry  p.s. the last photo with me the wood across the rad is just to stop the wings flapping in transit 

I think today is the last days work on steviem jeep that involved rebuilding the passengers side front wing and what a job I think i could now weld a tee bag as today that's what i have done it turned out well a bit out of shape so with the help of a big hammer it now fits some body filler ,red primer and the last of the top coat very dark drab then bolted on. Next week end its  back off to steviem and he is going to finish it off just remember i am at the end of the phone, hope you have enjoyed the rebuild as i have and i think i will do the same again putting up the rebuild photos with my next jeep for myself it is a very late ford GPW  no filter on bulkhead, deep mud exhaust and 700x16 tyres all the best jerry   

just to let any one know if you need the late type brake/clutch pedal pad i have made the press and can make them for you just the pads are £5 each if you need me to weld them to your pedals and cover them with anti slip or  i can do this the cost for that is £10 each you get them back blasted, primed with anti slip cover and painted in light olive drab or very dark drab

Great Jerry,  she's inching closer,  wings?? Did we get a deal done. Steve. 

got the wings just need to paint them tomorrow 

After a weekend down at Malvern show thanks to Graham and Amanda for a safe and enjoyable show i have been back working on the jeep its wiring  time  should be finished tomorrow fitted the new fuel gauge and restored the amp gauge  then fit the wings and fuel tank make up the fuel pipes this jeep has no fuel filter on the bulk head the pipe line runs down the left hand chassis rail 

yesterday spent 1/2 day fitting the body and the bulk head cardboard inside the body all went ok next start fitting the rest of the bits and the wiring  

as you can read i have started the jeeps engine one or two snags first was to set the ign  timing and there was a damaged fuel valve in the float chamber new one sorted it started up ok and with 60psi oil pressure all was good there tomorrow i will start her up and get up to temp and re pull the head nuts down next is fit the body and start the rewire happy days   

i always do 

yes its the same starter motor 

had a day off today working on one of my jeeps but yesterday i rebuilt the starter motor and bolted some other bits on rad finished and splash shield the starter needed some bushes and all 4 brushes cleaned and painted with new bolts  

if you tell me if your jeep is a willys or ford and the frame number i will work out the number that it came out of the factory with for you it would start with USA 20 then the number the first photo is an early ford build with a willys frame not the placement of the star 2nd photo is also an early ford and the owner asked for it to be done for Normandy as his grandfathers jeep that is why the number is in blue with white over it as was done for D DAY   

Today job have fitted the rad and waiting for the new rad  pipes i decided to strip down the starter motor some work needed first its a gpw castings and one of the bolt lugs has been welded on as its cracked off in the past the brush end needed to be skimmed up  in the lath and on stripping down the bendix i found the inside has been smashed up all the brushes need to be replaced as well so its back on to the dealers to find the parts which are hard to find for starter motors 

engine in and some other bits fitted need to order water hose, clamps and some other small parts  tomorrows job strip and rebuild the starter motor and fit the rad not far off starting her up  

todays work i set about fitting the new clutch and setting the finger height then fit the new clutch release bearing and spring then bolt up the gear box to the engine tomorrow i will finish the frame only need to fill the axles with oil and bleed the brakes  and give the frame a last coat of paint 

Also you may notice that the t.case is from an m38 jeep T90 i made a jig so i could mill cut a grove in the casting to allow for the shift leavers and the interlocking plunger on the T84, the T90 gearbox has all this in the top casting with the gear leaver 

to day finished the gearbox and t case rebuild and its time to let the green paint  dry then its bolt and set the clutch cover fit the gearbox's to the engine  photos from yesterday as well the funny wing shaped bit (photo 2) is the spacer/clamp to make up the bit of casting that was missing (photo 1) i don't think it will look out of place what do you think i also had to fit a nut to the centre bolt as the thread had been drilled out (photo 6) 

i worked for them at the shows and get all my parts of them for over 25 years i restore jeep for a living 

i think jeeparts have the rotary type switch in as some one i know has just got one ask for Helen tell them you know me jerry haynes
