Hi,
I'm new on here and live in the UK. I've started gathering parts to build a truck. Started with a '47 tub, then got an outer windshield frame. Then found a '47 rolling chassis. Picked up a 198 V6 Buick and a 225 V6 out of CJ5 together. Now found a T90 and transfer case. No doubt I'm going to have plenty of questions along the way. |

You've got a great start and it looks like a good shop to work in.

Welcome to the page, 65Paul! You're not missing too much now. Driveshafts, radiator, battery, wiring, what else? It'll be a running Jeep soon!

There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable

Finally had time to do a bit on the Jeep.
Spent a lot of time positioning engine & box. Ended up about 5/8" left of centre. End of steering arm hits bell housing on left lock so got to look at ways of getting around that. Can the arm coupling be shortened? or maybe notch the bell housing? Got the engine mounts done. Welding part of mount to chassis and then bolting from that so if I need to adjust position later it's not too hard. Started making transmission mount as well but waiting for new donut. |
