Farm jeep build

You know how it goes, you get one done and then another comes along.
A member offered me the remains of what I think is a very early 3a, it came off his trailer looking much like this but missing the windshield,hood,a fender and some other things.
I started taking it apart to part it out, but then I started to look and think I may be able to build something from it since it has such a nice frame and maybe the engine will run. I have been toying with idea of putting one together with all the spare parts I have for a while now.

After pulling everything off except the drivetrain, and working on the engine I found a piston stuck and broke and a bunch of stuck valves. Also the transmission was completely trashed from rust and its missing a mess of teeth. But I still got a nice frame.and I managed to find a old set of ford rims to roll it around on.

No, just a early nonribed cj head But still valuable to me for a spare. I really bought the whole thing just for the head
and the off chance I could salvage anything else off it.

Looks like a decent start for a project....I see an old Chevy truck in the one pic....awesome old trucks they are...what year is the old truck??

I got a good ways with it now , just playing catch-up with the build thread. This is after a used piston was swapped in, new piston rings,all the valves removed, cleaned, valve guides cleaned, allot of cleaning in the engine, water jacket pressure washed out , a distributor swapped in and everything bolted up to a better transmission. This is also the point I found out the early 2a starter I was going to use is fried beyond fixing. I didn't have another, but after searching though my parts I found a 12v cj5 starter, bell housing, and a power unit flywheel with the right ring gear. Everything came back apart and I swapped the ring gear to the cj flywheel, so I'm completely 12v now. After all that, I was rewarded with a sweet running l134 that is holding really good oil pressure and doesn't seem to smoke at all.

Been tinkering a little with it, hopefully have the fuel system all together, cleaned the fuel pump and it seems to be working fine, found a few holes in the fuel tank so steam cleaned it and the air cleaner and patched the tank. Thought I would try to slow the rust and throw a coat of paint on the tank.   Also got a little wiring done so it starts with a key switch.

Score on getting the engine running! (Though I think that 100mph speedo would be ambititious, lol)

Could you please post some pics of your floor when you get done? What are your plans for braces? Awesome build
