Bob3b's Spen Trailer

Know this is old but I have somewhere stored, the Willys Approved Catalog. The Spen is in it.

Joel,

Bob and Jeff,

Rober B, that would be great, even by e-mail. I have some versions of this ad, but I think fairly small. rchristy@kent.edu

Joey, I did a little light sanding on the tailgate and found the same color scheme. I did find a few leaves painted in white under the black layer but on top of the forest green. I did not find any sign of a logo on the tailgate.

I put some fine sandpaper to it yesterday evening. Someone had painted it Olive drab most recently. What I found on the side was the olive, black, dark (forest) green, primer, metal. I'll try another spot on the other side this evening if I'm out in the barn. What did you use to strip your paint? I want to be vary carful on the tailgate so I can see if there's a logo.

Also, my trailer seems to be of the same vintage as the yellow one above. Same tailgate setup and all. As you can see on the detail of mine, someone added a bent piece of angle to add strength to the sides. I'l need to change that back to original. Also, the bottom most fender mounts have been monkeyed with. Looks like they might have been broken and someone made their own brackets above where the originals were. I'll fix that too.

I looked all over it and still have not found any place for a tag, nor did I find anything that looks like original tail light mounts. Both sides have a slightly different tail light configuration. The springs seem to be straight from the CJ2A production line.

I went with 46 because someone told me that. I would like to know the timeline too. For some reason they changed the whole tailgate. When I re-do mine, that will be the problem area. I can see myself remaking a whole bunch of that. I have not found a tag not rivet holes as of yet. When I do mine, I'll take it down layer by layer to see if I can find the original color. If I can'd find anything, it may get a color close to my 3b.
