Thanks! This old 2A is orange, over red, over the original gray. I thought gray would be boring until I see it is one of the rarer colors and googled picket gray jeep. They are beautiful! so it's going to be gray!

You are welcome! Sharing again, so we don't have to back up to previous page to see it.  Edit: My '46 (serial 65990) has been many colors over the years. Under the dash it is red, faded (so hard to tell, but does not look like Luzon Red). I did a search on Harvard red, but it seems mostly apply to wheel color? I am confused, were the tubs painted Harvard Red in '46? Sorry if a dumb question, but I don't have a lot of time to research right now. Anybody have a photo of a Harvard Red '46 CJ2A? edit2: I think gray flatfenders look cool.

If I had to guess, I would say my “pale yellow” is “fiesta yellow” but the color charts I have seen don’t show it until 1948.

I have never really tried to figure out the original color of Wilson, but this thread got me curious.
There seems to be a lot of conflicting color chips out there (at least viewing them on my PC), but this Harvard Red chip from Kaiser Willys seems to be a really close match to the base color on my wheelwell tops (which seems to match what is under the dash)  If I buffed that spot a little, it might be even closer match. I am going to stop here, and declare that 65990 was originally Harvard Red. Now up to 75 known Harvard Red's in 1946  My story actually has an unusual twist. When I first acquired Wilson 30+ years ago, I was doing some repair of rust in tub. On the right side, rearward of step, as I was preparing to weld in a patch, I cut out the rust, and was grinding away the paint to provide clean metal to weld. There seemed to be some kind of "emblem" appearing. I then very carefully removed the top layers of paint to reveal a partial fire department emblem, just above the red paint. My memory is getting fuzzy, but I think it implied a fire department near Wash DC. The original owner of 65990 may have been a fire department!! I always wondered if the factory did special paint in "Fire Engine Red" on request, but now think maybe they ordered a Harvard Red '2A and put their logo on it.

Jeff J, is the body definitely original to its serial number? It is pretty easy to swap one out.

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

I always thought this one was original because it came to me with a title from the sixties but I see something this morning I hadn’t noticed before. The screws holding the data plates are 3 different types.
 My other flat fender is a CJ3A frame with a CJ2A body, CJ3A windshield and an M38 hood so I know parts are pretty interchangeable. <edit>That was the second attempt at loading the picture from my phone. It was upside down the first time so I rotated the picture in my phone 180 degrees and started over. Now I have an upside down on my phone and here instead of just here

are you on an android phone? it would be helpful if someone with android phone could compare methods used on iPhone to overcome some of the challenges of placing photos on this forum to see if the same strategy could be employed.
or it may be that an android phone does not produce the troublesome issues experienced on an iPhone? Edited by bight - 27 Sep. 2022 at 1:53pm |

JeepFever,
Thanks for doing that. Pretty cool to see things broken down. Jeff J, Not surprising that the tags came off during a repaint. At least they were not so lazy as to paint over them. Does your body have an ACM number? Micah

Need more info about ACM numbers… where to find… what to look for… the frame tag is gone because there are reinforcement plates installed for the Ramsey winch.

It describes where to find the ACM on that CJ2a data site. |

Thanks guys. 114429 is what I think I read on the tub gusset. Tailgate is harder to see the way I have it parked in the barn but it starts with 1144xx. Adding 10k would put the serial number in the 124429 range. That is a little under 600 above the serial number I have. According to the chart, another 20,000 jeeps went out the door after mine to get to 1948. If I am reading everything correctly, my serial number and ACM numbers are from 1947.
