Coming from a guy like you that has seen a lot of Willys Jeeps, I really appreciate your comment.  Thanks Joe Friday.

 


cal.bar...

I personally don't consider the divisional point between the "flat fender" and the "not so flat fender" to be an arbitrary point.  The far reaching design change that resulted in the CJ5/M38A1 is pretty well defined.  I would imagine that most people in the flat fender community would agree with me on this.

 

Just coming from the interchangeability perspective, most components found on an MB will bolt right up to a CJ3A with very little effort.   Not so true if you try to marry a CJ5 tub to a CJ2A chassis.

 

You are now a member of the Flat Fender Community.  I predict you will eventually see this to be a historical point of reference for Willys.


Jscheiner,

My apologies for taking your transmission mounting thread so far off track.

Yeah It is off by about an inch :( And nothing I have been able to do is putting it forward. I am pretty sure when I removed it, it was bolted up...

JS,
you're missing the transmission mounting plate.  I'll check some of my photos to see if any show the plate.

I don't have a good photo.  Here is a link to a photo and discussion about a similar issue...

I just took this photo of mine. Hopefully you can see that where the transmission bolts to the plate it is offset a little from the crossmember.


If Tim had a picture of his it would be much prettier than mine. No grease or mud or anything. He's aleregic to that stuff.



Here's a link to that part in Walcks catalog.

Okay that makes much more sense. Just ordered the plate, and the rubber mounting. 
Thanks!

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

Happy Trails! Good-bye, Good Luck, and May the Good Lord Take a Likin' to You!

The best Jeep is the one you are driving. Whatever it is.
If my feeble old mind still works, the OP was asking about the plate in his Jeep for the transfer case. Perhaps we should wander back in that direction.

My apologies, glad the missing plate was noticed and sourced. (even if a  CJ3B is a Bulldog LOL)  Oilly

As we all know, the old part will be sitting right there in plain sight as soon as the replacement part is installed. How do they do that?
