Hi F Bill, when I saw the lack of radiator mounts, I realized my 3A was not a 49 but maybe a later 50. �Who knows at this point since the data tags are missing. �I'm thinking the T-90 may possibly be a 46 as the wagon input shafts are much larger. �The PO could have just used an available case and replaced the insides.  I'll know for sure when I remove the tub and can place an eye on the casting numbers. �

FYI, I picked up a 43 GPW last weekend. �The body is toast and the frame has been butchered. �However, the drive train, axles, and leaf springs are in decent shape. �

Hello athawk11, I thought of that when I pull the body off.  However, upon a closer inspection, I noticed the T-90 is equipped for column shift  and the TC is missing the E-Brake drum. I'm starting to believe my 3A is a Frankenstein.  Also, the frame is missing the radiator mounts.  With the exception of one small area needing a couple weld beeds, the frame in in great shape. I'm still pondering my intentions of what to do with it.

Yes, that was me you purchased the MB chassis from. �I hope you made some good use out of it. �The restored GPW you saw in the garage is now owned by a gentleman in North Carolina. �God, I miss that jeep! �I've recently reacquired the flat fender bug desiring to restore another MB, GPW, CJ2A, or CJ3A.

Good morning all, I decided to join the forum after purchasing the hulk of an unknown year CJ3A. �Both the data plate and original engine have been removed by the previous owner(s). �However, their is a Dana 41 rear differential causing me to believe it's a 49 or 50. �If anyone can assist in determining the year possibly by another serial number location, I'm all ears. �Also, I'm currently on the fence as to my intentions for this beauty and may possibly be open to selling it to an interested party.

Thanks,

Dan
