Re: diameter of headlight hole in jeep mb 1945
Alex, just a thought here, by the time you go rebuild the
smaller 5 inch headlight holes you might first try buying another war grill ? I see them several times each year at the Military Swap meets on the east coast. Original, used grills range consistently between $35 to $50 Enquire to guys on this list or enquire at www.g503.com Just a thought ! Robbo at the Sheep Dip Cafe' & Jeep Ewe'porium Syracuse, NY area |

Are you sure the pumpkin color wasn't their "autumn wheat"? I've seen
it where it had faded to a nice pumpkin color. Try the attached link and enter Willys with the '59 year and you'll see autumn wheat - looks orange to me. ________________________________ From: WillysTech@...

If you want to go with a new MB grill, then look at WillysAcres.com. THey carry one for $100 I think. Not sure what you could do to make your light holes smaller, but the MB lights are, I think, about 9 inches across. I'll have to measure mine tonight to be sure. I'll let you know. Good luck!

Re: [WT] 43 CJ or MB

Yep, that's a Ford script jeep. Willys did the same thing on the back of their jeep until the govt told them it was a war, and they shouldn't be advertising their product in such a manner.

The script jeeps are more rare now, so if you know where it is, I suggest you buy it back. And then sell it to me of course. :) HA! Chris Cortland, NY ----- Original Message -----

Re: Wagon Bumper Rechroming

Hi Kyle,
i just had the front and rear bumpers for my 1950 Willys Jeepster straightened and rechromed by Denver Bumper Works They did an outstanding job with 4 week turn around. The front bumper has two bumperettes and a grill guard and everything went back together perfectly, looks great and best of all the cost came in under a kilobuck! Curt |

If it was 'Script' it was produced in '42, unless an older tub was unearthed in a warehouse.Willys used their block stencil type lettering in the same location on their tubs. The War Department told them to knock it off, too.

Re: [WT] pitman arm installation question...
David,
I've found three different recommendations from three different sources: "heavy gear oil" "90wt," and "140wt." I didn't want to run the risk of seepage even thought the unit is now sealed properly. I considered the semi-fluid synthetic grease route but, after I re-read some old postings I thought your idea of the 600wt was a good solution...even if it was intended for knuckles! The unit has a light coating of gear lube at friction point too...I'll let you if I exspirience any ill-effects from the 600. Thanks, Matt In WillysTech@..., "David Hoelzeman" <mathman@...> wrote: on the axle.

Kyle,
I have an extra set of gauges, let me know and I can send you some pics if your intrested. Steve '50 4wd Wagon 327 SBC Topeka, KS US Navy Senior Chief Kyle <WillysWagon@...> wrote: With the seat frames & window trim off to the powder coating shop & seats in for new covers, it's time to look into getting the bumpers redone. I've looked at powder coating and didn't like the lack of shine. When getting a rough quote from the local chroming shop, it came in at around $1200. I have a 50 1/2 Willys Wagon with the wrap around rear bumper (3 pieces) and the front bumper has the extra bar on top along with the side bars & guards (6 pieces ). What have you all done to get a nice looking bumper, send it to a re-chroming shop? Who did you use and about what did it cost. I don't mind spending the $1200 to get a new looking shiny bumper, but would like to pick the hive mind on what you all did. My neighbor works for FedEx and can get decent ground shipping rates for me. The wagon goes in to the shop for a new coat of paint this month too. Soon I'll be able to post some pics of the progress being done. I even re- welded the dash to accept the stock gauges, now I just have to find some, ha-ha. My father had drilled it out to accept the round gauges back in the 80's. Glad to say the chrome I do have is shinning up nice.
