It was a barn find in Maple Ridge

A good frend called up and said are you still looking for a jeep? and my reply was yes!     so we grabed a couple of flash lights and off we went, and yes it was burried under old building supplies and insulation ,at first glance we werent sure what we were looking at at first so after clearing away all the junk we could see it wasent a mb or gpw liked we were hoping but it turned out to be a cj2a with a lot of mismatched parts . even not being what i was looking for i still bought the jeep not quite sure what i was getting into. well i have been at it for two summers barring a couple of detours and side projects like my sons early mustang and a frends camaro motor i am now able to start back on the willys sourcing parts and rebuilding as much as posible , my intentions are to keep it as close to orignal as posible and the more i work on the jeep the more i like the old girl and find out the history of the 2a, ACM #34616  Tail gate # 34603 , now all of the tags are long gone posibly on some other jeep i am not sure but using the ACM # as a reference and the information found on the page the VIN# should be 43482 cj2a , posibly built in May of 1946, if i am wrong just let me know,

i have some holes in the floor that i am working on and some swales in the rear floor that i am trying to straighten out, and after a coupe of days with a large hammer and large chunks of steel for dollys the floor looks not too bad, only problem now is I need to rest my arms ,I think I am suffering from carpol tunnel
