This project has really stalled for the summer :( The only thing I've managed to do is the tailgate. Welded in a new lower edge between the hinges where they are always rusted out and then put it on my CJ-3A for the weekend. I don't like driving around with the spare tire hanging on the side.

Come on Bob!  ;)

In your defense, you appear to be making nearly every Willys event this year.

Speaking of this, are we going to see you at the FCT again this year?

I finally found a couple days to work on this project again! It is time to turn the tub upside down to finish welding the stuff on the bottom of my simplified CJ body.

Don't those tubs look great once you've replaced all the holes with steel?

Bob,
Some thing is wrong today with my ability to access to the CJ-3B B.B.

Here's the dimensions you need.

Center of rear tank strap capture nut is 5/8" inboard of the wheelhouse and 5/8" back from the edge of the floor rise.

Center of the front tank strap capture nut is 10-1/2" inboard of the quarter panel and about 19-5/8" from the floor riser.

By the way that body is looking very nice. I'd really like to have an identical 3A tub.

As you know the thin gauge tank strap is 1" wide.
The ends are doubled over to increase thickness at the bolt hole.

Oldtime, BobW,

Can you tell if this is a MDU 7004 Starter?� My apologies Bob. I don't mean to highjack your thread, but I'd seen Oldtime at the CJ5 or 3B page answering some starter questions.� I may be in the market for a new starter drive, and didn't want to miss-order.

Tim

Looks like it to me. Hopefully Ken will see this and reply too.

Yes that starter is an Autolite 12 volt MDU 7004.
The vintage correct Autolite 12 volt solenoid is installed exactly like it should be.
Originally that solenoid was electro plated in white zinc and was not painted.

Got the underside of the tub epoxy-primed.



Also primed and painted the radio battery boxes for my CJ-V35/U
