Thank you both very much for all the information! I don't know what I was thinking with the 4 speed, that makes sense the ratio would still be 1:1

I will definitely be passing on this jeep. I have looked all over, but yet to find one to my liking. I will just keep looking until one pops up!

Wow thanks for the info! Yes I am looking all over for a nice one.

I kinda like that there is not a spare tire on the side, and the fact it has a 4 speed, since if I got a 3 speed I would definitely add an overdrive. But the possibility of the body being aftermarket scares me even more. I really like the look of this jeep, thats why it caught my eye.

Hey everyone, I am a new member here. For a while now I have wanted to purchase a CJ3B in as close to original condition as possible. This one from streetside classics really caught my eye, but looking at the underside scares me a little. First I just want to say that I have no intention of paying the asking price, but if you guys could tell me your thoughts on it that would be much appreciated.

Looks like the axles are leaking, as well as the oil pan, and maybe more. It also has a 4 speed transmission. I contacted streetside to see if I could get more information about the jeep, but apparently they have no knowledge of the its history.

Based on what you can see, does this seem like a vehicle that will need a lot of attention to get in good shape again?

Thank you!
