Re: Tail lights
I've been reading these with interest. I have a '53 Willys M38A1 that has two tail lights, however... This was built for the military and has the blackout lights and the tail lights built into the

CJ2A/M38 Body
Hello all, I'm currently in deep frame off rebuild of a 48 2A. Frame is now blasted and painted. I rebuilt the Flat 4 last fall, just finished the Spicer 18 case and now have the T-90 in pieces. Ready

Re: Tail lights; 2nd a dealer option
The second tail light was a dealer option, at least for the CJ-2a. My understanding is that the laws varied by jurisdiction, with some areas requiring two stop/tail lights long before others. I added

Re: Tail lights
Hi Rick G., I won't argue with you on having two tail lights. I was hoping to find the original style lights/mounts and put them on both sides even though it may have only had one tail light. Is it

Re: Rear Main seal
Can't help you with the seal on a 226, but I did the neoprene rear seal on my L-134 about two months ago. Before I did it I was told that it probably wouldn't work if the crank or rear main bearing

Re: Tail lights
David, et al, I know that at some point, it was okay to have only one tail-light. My '48 CJ-2A came with only one, and a second was optional. Actually, mine has 4 now, since someone added a

Re: Tail lights
As I recall, the 48 owner's manual that I have shows only one tail light. Vehicle safety standards have changed in the last 50 years. Sometime before the mid-50's (Service manual published in 1956),

Re: Tail lights
From: "David Macbeth" <macbethd@...> Dave, I think 46 through 49 had one tail light on the left side. My 49 wagon's tail light is mounted on a bracket that pivots out when the tail gate is down

Re: Tail lights
Dave M. in Idaho, Thanks for the tail light information for my '52 Pickup. Since you've owned a bunch of these vehicles is there any chance you have some spare tail light brackets that you're willing

Tail lights
I looked up the tail light issue in my service manual and it shows two tail lights on all models of pickups and wagons. Every pickup I have owned (5) has had a tail light on both sides of the frame.

Re: FINALLY HOME/frozen engine
I had this problem with the flat head six in my 59 PU (it has since been replaced with a 283 chevy). I poured some automatic transmission oil in the plug holes and let it sit for a day or two. Then I

Re: FINALLY HOME
Hi William Bigelow, How about some Automatic Transmission Fluid in the cylinder. I've never had to do it on the junk I drive around but there are many claims that it works. Mark Peterson - 1952 Pickup

Re: [WT] Re: Year of Manufacture plates
Here in Ohio you can get the Antique plate for a LIFETIME registration fee of $12.00! What a deal! Same rules though, only can drive to parades, show, parts runs, special events, etc..... However,

Re: FINALLY HOME/frozen engine
Bill, I remember an old timer telling me that the easiest way to unfreeze and engine is to pour kerosene into each plug hole and let it sit for a day or two. This advise was made prior to the

Dear Fellow Members, I hesitate to do this (my hard drive is only 1gb), but I'm going to solicit advice from the collected Willys "brain trust" on this site. :-)) Anyway, here goes. I finally got my

Frank- I've spent some time hanging around at Texas Spring in Amarillo, talking with the owner - *the* authority on spring rebuilds, upgrades, etc in the Texas Panhandle. It's a great big dark shop

Re: Year of Manufacture plates
Matt--How does the "antique plate" work in Kansas. To my notion, they are next to worthless here in Iowa. You can drive it to a show, or in a parade, but that is about it. For display purposes only. I
