I've had this 1954/64 3B for over 4 years. When I retired 4 1/2 years ago as an Air traffic Controller, I bought this unfinished project from my neighbor. He had met a girl, was getting married soon and moving into her house so the Jeep had to go. I had told him I wanted it if he ever sold it. It was a 54' but the tub was mostly rotted and it didn't have a title. He had found a tub with a 1964 title and VIN plate so its now titled as a 1964. The tail gate, grill and dash were all he could save from the original body. I think the donor tub is an MD Juan. He had the original engine, transmission, T-case, and overdrive rebuilt. It has a lift and the frame boxed as well as 11" drum brakes. I believe most of the parts I need are here. It all looks to be bagged and tagged in the boxes. After retirement I bought a new house and had a shop built with a 2 post lift. No more laying on the gravel in the sun! The Jeep has been sitting for 3 years in its new home but now its time to put it together. I'm very mechanically inclined and I've worked on many different cars, trucks, and engines, but never a Jeep. I'm gonna need some advice/help please. One of my sons keeps a page on Instagram and Facebook of our shops happenings. See what were up too and follow along on the Jeep build by following us on Instagram @ cobra_ranch_garage or on facebook @ Cobra Ranch Garage. I look forward to meeting you all and getting, and maybe even giving some help/advice.
