Welcome ! So is this 1953 CJ a 3A or a 3B ? You never really mentioned that.
I don't know and I don't know how to tell. Never really played with old Jeeps before. Last one I worked in was a mid 90's POS. Oldest one I've worked on was a 70 something CJ7.
Just joined. My son's and I just picked up a trashed, missing parts rusty CJ3 that we hope to resurrect. Our biggest needs are going to be past to include major assemblies.
I'm a retired Army tanker, 74-96. We live in west MN. Married, 7 kids and lots of grandkids! We own a small 200 acre farm in the "heart of the lakes" area. Hobbies include home brewing, scuba and most things mechanical.
