Thanks Hawk.
  You are correct in that there is a lot of 2A on this! The tub is as well! Better seen from this vantage point.
  It was advertised as a 52 CJ3A. But, the only 3A I can see or find is the windshield. Then the only thing that says "52" is the engine tag. Since the last year for the 2A's was 49, I would love for this frame to be a 2A and be more properly attached to the 47, 2A tub i bought! That engine may be a replacement and not original to the chassis. I still have to pick up the tub and I am hoping the 'tub number" is on the toe support! It is going to be a task figuring out this jeeps pedigree!
  Me thinks, I may have to pack up my bags (and pics) and move over to the 2A page! :(

Being new to these forums and having an old 3A that will be restored, I need a little help! I am diving into a complete restoration as part of a project related to out US Navy historical ship in NY. Even though we will be using a 2A tub in the restoration, I am trying to discern any and all info that I can on this chassis. It's in pretty tough shape (tub-wise) but it is a "runner"!
The engine number has me wondering! Should the second stamp be a "J"?
There is a date plate on the head of 11/17/52
There are no other numbers left on it like frame tags and such.
So, any help is appreciated!
