Jerry Jeep

found some old photos when i was doing the usmc jeep 

cheque the date of your jeep as late pedals did not have the cast type the plane ones had a type of grip tape on them you can simulate this with grit sand in the primer then paint the top coat in green i had to make the ones on my late war time jeep and my next ford is the same and deep mud exhaust pipe  you can make this from an m38 jeep with a bit of cutting and welding 

if they are painted black they all come from the same maker i have fitted loads of them and there are no problems with them my usmc jeep has them 

grill marker tights from India are ok a bit different in shape and don't know if they  do the ford type best are m v spares but cost more and get the fitting tool for the door sockets also from joes jeeparts also do the sockets on there own

First jeep restoration after lock down and heading into anther some photos for you keep safe keep building 

this is what happens when some one does not know how to set a diff up in a jeep axle it lasted less then 100 miles photos of the new one and the busted one  its the best one i have ever seen it made a bit of a rattle when driven also burnt out the bearings not a cheep day out

I notice the bottom radio jeep runs on a special brew. Can’t be cheap to top the tank off.

 

if Carlsberg made jeeps...

the other 6 wheeled jeep

good tyres hard wearing look good and when you need 7 for best price i get them from jeeparts 

Dallas autos 5 firestone 600x16 --- £775 or  speedway 600x16 ---- £420  i fit both types and look first class this jeep is on firestone second jeep is on speedway

wish i had a bigger workshop just finished the rewiring on the next restoration then its get the ford gpa in the workshop and build up the frame so i can drive it around and test it out before fitting it in the hull   

i might know of a jeep that was running a number of years ago can ask if its up for sale don't know the condition and i am not after another one as i have two more to do for myself let me know and i can ask for you

there was not a lot of the  body left you might of been able to save the bulk head so the owner asked for a new body it would of been over £5000 to rebuild it not worth it and a gallon of body filler also the body was a ford scripted and the jeep a willys script  so the new body is the correct one happy days    

have been working again fitting the body and painting it with a working coat of green then blasting all the body bits ready for refitting the two long bits in the blasting box are the Canadian under back seat box this made a tool box under the seat very handy i have top coated the bits so can start bolting them on tomorrow   

so when it finished i can start it and drive it around leave it all on 

you never know till you get it to bits what you will find 😏 i am looking for WILLYS MB , FORD GPW WINTERIZATION ENGINE HEATER PERFECTIONSTOVE. started a new post take a look 

any one out there in jeep land i am looking for a WILLYS MB , FORD GPW WINTERIZATION ENGINE HEATER PERFECTIONSTOVE for my next jeep restoration if you have any parts and wish to sell them please get in touch thanks all the best jerry haynes

not on this one as the cost would be over £5000 on labour and parts at some point its not worth doing i would be starting with the dash and glove box only 

so with the ford finished its on with the next a 1942 willys mb 

finished the ford gpw that was built on the willys mb frame  and Monday its off to a new home
