	I found this in a salvage yard today. The body has been widened to accommodate the windshield. The serial number does not seem correct. But the price was right, so I own it! Thoughts?!

	Neat find! It will be a great project. For me it solves a long-standing spare tire mount mystery. I bought a mount long ago hoping it would fit my CJ-5 Never could figure out what it was for.....but we had suspicions.. Your last picture solved the mystery!

	It looks like a DJ3A to me. The DJ did have a variety of body style options to chose from, but I'm not sure if '4 wheel drive' was one of them. That said, I don't think it would have been a difficult option to offer.

	This one's clearly 4WD. Has M-38 rear bumperettes, M-151 mutt wheels. Cool little truck..

What's throwing me is the interior shot. Side wall cut outs and combo gauge=DJ3A , but if you scroll in tight to the TC levers, the opening looks factory.

	The serial number tag has the wrong screws too. Supposed to be slot head screws, not phillips.

	People think I go out of my way to piss them off. Trust me, It's not out of my way at all.

	Nice 1962 DJ-3A! Looks like someone has converted it to 4WD somewhere along the line. The guys over on The CJ-3B Page Forums have a section for DJs and I'm sure they would like to see your new Jeep too. http://z4.invisionfree.com/CJ3B_Bulletin_Board/index.php?

	I was able to find a number of interior shots of some Surreys and other DJ models. Looks like the drive train hump is similar to a 3A. The DJs have the opening for the TC levers, but are covered with a plate. With Bob W chiming in, this mystery Willys has found itself.

Toward the end of CJ-3A production phillips head screws were beginning to show up. I would expect 1953 and later Willys Patent Plates to be attached with phillips screws.

	Thanks for the info. I didn't think DJ because of the 4wd. I just knew it was cool!
