Taking a break from my CJ2A truck build http://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/my-cj2a-pickup-lots-of-pictures_topic15518.html?KW= and working on my other 2A. This will stay mostly stock-ish.
![]() Doing a total rebuild. Here is the body I am starting with... ![]() Bought it from Hillbilly (Paul) and picked it up in N. Carolina. mostly rust free, Paul replaced front floors and other pieces. Missing the rear floor section, but I have a decent one from the original body. ![]() Here is the frame. ![]() Last summer I put axles under it ( It is sitting next to my 2A truck frame. ) ![]() Placed the tub on the frame. ![]() Then put on a aluminum top and doors and used it as storage. The 2A in front of it is donating lots of pieces. ![]() |

Hat channels added under the front floor. Used 1x2 tubing. Right now it
is only tacked in so I will need to flip it back over and weld it up.
Rear floor welded in.... ![]() ![]() Bolted to frame. ![]() ![]() ![]() Paul only tacked in side panels that replaced bad sections, so I have a lot of welding to finish. This is how it sits as of tonight. |

Moved the parts frame up. Can't afford new parts so I will be swapping over the front shackles and mounts when there is a decent day. ( if there is any left.)
![]() Removed some more of the layers off paint to prime it and see where little patches are needed. ![]() |

Well done there. What was your source for the 1x2 tubing for the hat channels?

Some more done, had reluctant help from my 14 year old. The 4 year old is so eager to help so I need to find something for him to do.

I like it, I think my build will be similar. I have a little less cancer on the body though. I like the 1x2 bracing and I just happen to have a bunch of it in the yard. Looking forward to seeing it back together.

Tailgate.
