1946? CJ2A

Primary concern currently is why the oil pressure gauge reads low. Like 5# idle, maybe 15# revved out. I'm going to get another one and make sure it's not the gauge before I assume there's bigger problems.

Other than that, she runs, drives, stops. The left front brake is not working. The steering feels like it is 70 years old. It has a 3a windshield. Not sure why that is. Came with an overdrive unit installed. I know there's more and I'll think of it.

She's been repainted with some kind of metallic teal. Engine has good pep. Transmission is tight. Transfer case is pretty loose. Has one warn locking hub, and one international locking hub. I can't find the frame tag. I think it is missing. Body tag #17909. Unless this body was swapped on from a different jeep, my research shows it probably was column shift.

What do you all think?

When you dropped the pan, that was after you had removed the engine or it can be done with the engine installed. I need to address rear main seal sometime also. Probably time to just pull the engine and do a clean up.

Nice find! 

Have you been able to see the ACM number? That will tell the tale. 

Here's a great thread on indents that i was led to in order to ID my 2A. 

17909 is pretty early! I have the service bulletins around here somewhere. It can help narrow down exactly when yours left the factory. 

That little pipe is part of the crank case ventilation system.  You should get a little filterand put it on the pipe to keep junk from going into the engine.
