HI From north East Texas
« on: November 18, 2017, 01:03:39 PM »
Hello everyone, my name is andrew, I picked up a 1950 CJ3A yesterday. It's in fare shape. I'm in the process of pulling the motor today it ha's a severe rod knock. The body will need a lot of patching. Transmission won't go into 3rd gear. But it was drivable. Leaking oil pretty bad. Hope to find help here restoring it.
I got a 1950 CJ3A work in progress.  had a 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport with 6" lift Running 33"s. Locked and Armored up.
