Hahaha no actually it came with two sets of knobs for everything, and the uglier of the two sets were marked with question marks by someone wanting to make fun of my lack of stick shift driving experience.
The PO was actually really helpfull and included origional seat brackets, spare radiator hose, and (unknowingly in toolbox) a pink sand castle shovel, surveyors string, unidentified tube of lubricating substance, and one flat head screwdriver.
The steering wheel is off, and bent the puller just as it came free. Seats out, fuel tank out, clutch brake pedals out, some other odds and ends. Rims arrived, with tubes, NDT's are the next paycheck. The battery bracket, battery wires, braids, fuel filter, and spark plugs were all replaced resulting in an even smoother idle. (The guy at autozone asked me if I have a 4 cyl lawn mower when I asked for 4 seperate ja18 plugs, I told him yea the kind that crossed the Rhine!)
Frame appears to have no holes or wacky mods/welds/small arms fire but the tub is not yet off, so there may be some or all of the above in store.
I was just getting ready to post engine pics, because I have no idea what kind of oil and air filter this thing has on it. It cant possibly be origional.
So are the markings on the tranny and overdrive sticks from the Previous Owner? Was the PO clueless about the overdrive? To say nothing about the transfer case shifters - also with question marks. Was the PO completely clueless?
The "spray can deluxe" looks pretty good from here. Almost as good as finding a Jeep with an Overdrive already installed (that's the big knob with the "?" on it� )
It has a fiberglass tub, and nothing says "Willy's" on hood or rear, so a replacement tub is probably on the to-do list. Rear brake lines are blown, engine runs great (with a little mosquito control mist when revved hard).
Steering wheel puller arrived a couple days back, so I can get the tub and other parts off to wire brush the frame and repaint flat black. Lots of little things on the way like seat covers, wheels, shifter boots, oil filter, and turn signal lenses.
Hi new member, third time jeep owner in Northern NJ.
First jeep was a 1990, second was a 2002, and now a 1951 Willy's CJ3A.
Trying to restore it to a more factory correct looking CJ, NDT's, origional seats, taking off the "Spray can deluxe" OD paint, and preparing it for weekend driving.
