Joe, feel free to get with me here in Claremore. It's only a short drive. You can take a ride in and climb all over mine which will both help you get familure with what it should be as well as hopefully keep you motivated. Mine was not that bad, but it was still a full body off frame rebuild.

Thank you!  That would be a big help.

Here are some more pics of the Jeep.  Been getting it cleaned out for closer inspection.  Found some good things and not so good things.  It looks like they crashed it into something on the front drivers side and got a lot of things out of square.  You can see the front bumper bent in and the gap between the wheel well and the truck bed on the passenger side.

I got the jeep last night.  It's in pretty bad shape... a lot worse than I remember.  My dad was off on the year.  It's a '46 CJ2A.  I'm still excited about getting started on it.. just not spending the $$$.   :-?

Hey Joe;
That is a remarkable similar story to mine.� My grandpa purchased the farm jeep that I now have, it then went to my uncle who ran the farm after he passed.� We drove this jeep around the corn fields- the whole family has fond memories of it.� Its now mine and will be my sons one day making it a one family jeep.� Glad to find other 3A owners in my area! ;D

Its great to be the keeper of part of family history.� You gona keep it stock?�

Hope to see photos of your project soon!


I do plan to keep it stock for now.  My ultimate goal as most are starting out is to get it running and stopping.  I definitely don't want to see it abused like the pic above but I also don't plan to make a showroom piece that I'm scared to drive or get a scratch on.  My grandpa was a self employed oil business owner.  Never had a lot of money.  He missed out on the $100 / barrel days!  He fixed anything the redneck, dare I say bubba way, but it worked and that's just how he was raised.  I just want to honor him in getting it running and trying to do something that would make him proud.  I killed a deer 2 years ago with his .30-06 that I was given and I am so proud of that deer.  I want to try to emulate that feeling with this project.  It will most likely be dark by the time I get off work tomorrow, get to my uncles and get it loaded, and get it home so probably no pics tomorrow.  But there will be some Sunday.  I cant wait to get crackin on this thing.  I can't wait to see the info all you amazing gurus can tell me.  I have literally been glued to this website since I found it a few days ago.  Although I am sad to say I believe my jeep is a CJ2A after some research and if my recollection serves me well.  We will find out tomorrow.   :D
