If the original carb AIRHORN and/or CROSSOVER TUBE happen to be in the 'box of stuff', I'd be interested if you don't need them.

Is that the correct horn and mount?  I could use that on my '48 Wink.


Sounds good Wink I will contact you guys once the dust settles... Please note, all proceeds will benefit my Willys!!LOL Daddy needs a new second gear!

if you cloud slip in it a tube mailer I could take the rad support rod if it’s in decent shape.

Aww man, saw this too late. I'm always up for a Jeep adventure and always searching for "hidden treasures" in the Nutmeg State. LOL

So if you're looking for someone to take that rear seat, I might be able to send a little cash for the Willys fund. Big smile

And I'm looking for a set of 16" wheels. But I assume those are the last things to go, if at all. LOL

Hi TXtea, I found out the rear seat is for a CJ5 Disapprove It's tough to see in the picture, but it has a pin/spring type connection to the tub. I was disappointed, it was one of the few items on the Jeep I really liked..

If you aren't doing a restoration it wouldn't be a really big deal to either rework the seat legs or put CJ5 type mounts and use it.....it would still look 'right' to the casual observer...just thinking out loud.

Hey Roc, that's not a bad idea.  So Gordon, if you decide not to keep it, I'd be interested in seeing some more pictures and go from there.

I'm pulling the Father's Day card and I will be working on the Jeep Sunday LOL... It's suppose to be a nice day and I'm looking forward to it. I have been keeping a list of members who showed some interest. Here is what I got:

Kulpfarm = Carb Windshield to tub mounts
CJ2A-CT = Tail lights
ndnchf = Horn and mount
eestesl = Parking Lights
Clayvt = Rad. Support
Markcl52 = Rims
TXtea = Rear Seat (I would like to keep this for now)

I will take some good pics of the items mentioned, If you are still interested, let me know (PM Me).... If not, that is ok too. I don't really want to sell anything, but as I mentioned, funds are needed for my 2A. I'm really not out to make a buck, I just want to get my Jeep on the road. I'm not a seller, so if you are interested, please think of a fair price you would pay so that we both win and let me know Wink

Ryan, hope you know I wasn't saying that to knock you out of it.....I don't think either one of you would want to ship it. Just hated to see him not use it if he was just after a 'period looking' rear seat..

Hey Roc, no worries.  Geoff never said he was going to sell it, and I was just stating some interest in it so it wouldn't be pitched.  I work for an airline and can ship cargo pretty cheap, so it's not a big deal.  But ultimately it's all up to the owner and no issues either way.
