LOLOL. Too true. "super easy" relative to the two that were completely locked up. Also, to whoever asked earlier, this jeep apparently does have a title... somewhere.

" this jeep apparently does have a title... " That's a good thing, how good depends on where you live. Here in Colorado, when I evaluate a jeep (Or any other old vehicle) towards making an offer, I figure a good title is worth $300.00. BW

It is NOT a Jeep Willys! It is a Willys jeep.

Doug,
Not sure where you are in MD, but I am in White Hall (northern Baltimore County) and would love to help any way I can, if you need it. There are a lot of experts in this area and southern PA that do a lot of work on these old Jeeps and it always helps to have people that have been there done that. There are tons on this page so that is a great start! Jay

Jay,
I'm south of the city, closer to Annapolis. Right now i'm trying to read w/e I can find and gather up info, how to's, and such and get things lined up to move forward. Still in tear down mode physically. Trying to sort out and decide if I will purchase pre-made patch panels (floor) or if I want to be adventurous and try things on my own.

For tear down, take lots of pictures. Get a parts and a mechanics manual, they help a lot for putting it back together. Many videos for transmission and transfer case rebuilds. Get your body parts from either classic enterprises or walcks. Most parts from walcks, great prices, they know their stuff! Plus they have 10% off sales and free shipping all the time so make a list and wait for one. Plus carl has an awesome all original '46. As far as Specific questions, don't be afraid to ask. Save everything!

Just a "most-safe" tip for working order:
1) Make it steer 2) Make it stop 3) Make it go |

Got the steering wheel off!! What a pain. Father-in-law ended up messing up the threads on the top cause he didn't listen and put the puller in the center without the nut or a washer on there. LUCKILY, i have other steering columns I can steal. But now once I get the gauges and linkages off, the body will be free and can start being cleaned up and repaired. Then i'll have access to the trans which I assume has the clutch plate froze up... we MIGHT be getting into that this weekend!

I was able to take some more pictures of the red jeep that I haven't technically started working on, but would like to. If someone can help identify it, awesome. I am going to assume its a hodge-podge setup, but was told M38. Also, pretty sure there is a heater under the dash on the passenger side, took a quick photo of it if anyone wants to try and identify that. And just for fun, took a photo of the navy jeep that is still back in the woods. |

You’re still teasing me a little with the photos of the red Willys. I see a 3A hood and Grill. M38 style windshield. The headlight rings are M38. The tub is likely a reproduction 3A. The engine compartment screams M38, but the carburetor is a civilian Carter WO. Possibly a 2A frame?? How about some photos of the tub interior, inside face of the tailgate, dash area, a shot of the front frame horns and a couple full side views? From the one view of the gray and yellow Willys, it is an M38.Edited by athawk11 - 22 Mar. 2017 at 7:28pm |

I have a few more on hand that I held off on posting cause it's in such rough shape, lol. Here they are, nothing of the tub interior from a door POV, or of the inside of the tailgate, but I will be there again today and can walk over and get them. Anything specific I should be looking for?

By the look of the hinged grill and shackle mounts the yellowish one seems to be at least part M38.

I never noticed that, I was too caught up on the giant heater and crazy looking hand made roof, can't see it in that photo. I'll be working on the blue jeep this Friday for a little while, gotta get the rest of the gauges and linkage disconnected so the tub can come off.

Those extra photos did help. I can say with some certainty that the tub is an early MD Juan reproduction. It has a mix of features from the M38 and the CJ3A. Much of the sheet metal could be reproduction components. Maybe 1970s vintage. What is shocking is how deteriorated it is. I almost wonder if the red paint is actually the original primer finish from when the tub was shipped...and the PO didn't bother to paint it with a real top coat. Although, there is some green paint there too.
