Hello from 1MtnJeep!
« on: January 10, 2022, 12:37:30 PM »
Hi Folks!

Been a jeeper for quite a long time. Previous jeeps include a 2A, M38A1 and numerous CJ5's and 7's.

Since i sold my last CJ5 a few months back... well... no old jeeps... it was tough... felt bad... somethings wrong here... aahhhhh!!!!  :(

Well... got lucky and found a 1960 3B! Woo hoo! ;D I'm working out the details on payment, shipping and all that good stuff. As soon as I get it, I'll upload some pics.

Thanks in advance to everyone... I'm sure I'll have some questions and need some help.

Thanks! I do have a question. On the right side of the tub... behind/just past the fender is a small plate with 4 small screws/bolts.  What is this? Only seen it on military 3B's. Snorkel kit? Hmmmm...

Probably the inlet for the fresh air heater option that started in 1959.

What duffer said.

Scroll down to "Fresh Air Heater" and follow the links in the first paragraph.  Also can be seen on some late models in the Owners section too.

That makes sense. Did some looking and didn't see much info on it.

While waiting on the 3B... working on wheels and tires.

Original style steel 16 wheels with STA Super Traxion tires!  ;D
