   Hi all
I am from South Africa and new to the Jeep forum, I have recently purchased 2 x Willys Jeeps and 
would like some help identifying them both. Any help would be much appreciated.
As far as my research goes, this will be a CJ2A - it is a 1948 LH model.

The second one I think is a CJ5

	Welcome to the forum. Geez you SA guys have a lot of jeeps down there. Hopefully y'all network with one another...... Your pics are kinda small... does LH mean left hand drive or that you have a "lefty" jeep? If it's a "lefty" what is the serial number? Your CJ5 looks kinda long....is it a CJ6? The serial number might provide the clue.

	The pictured cj5-cj6 also has a flip out windshield, I might be wrong but I thought that was only on the early m38a1 Edited by 48willys - 27 Aug. 2014 at 5:04pm

	I found that in windows, if you right click on the image and then click "Copy Image URL", then paste that URL into a new browser window, the photos come up larger. I've pasted them in clickable format here. Just click on them and get bigger pictures. http://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/uploads/6559/IMG_1629.JPG http://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/uploads/6559/IMG_1632.JPG http://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/uploads/6559/IMG_1626.JPG http://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/uploads/6559/IMG_1473_Large.JPG http://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/uploads/6559/IMG_1474_Large.JPG http://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/uploads/6559/IMG_1478_Large.JPG Edited by smfulle - 27 Aug. 2014 at 6:52pm

	Well there you go! I think I see a battery box in the cowl.....I seem to recall that CJ-6 vehicles were mostly built for export and shared a lot of the characteristics of the M38A1. Characteristics that were not necessarily shared with US versions. Other more informed experts will chime in. Nice family.
