Re: [WT] Installing door window
David,
The piece of metal that the bottom of the window slides into has two horizontal tracks on it. One is longer than the other. Which one is on the hinge side (or vent) of the door? I am a bit confused as to which side of this piece faces the inside of the cab. Thanks, John In WillysTech@..., "David Hoelzeman" <mathman@...> wrote: there. Or just reverse the disassembly process:item or should the division bar trac and roll-up window trac be removed? |

Re: [WT] jeep mb "recessed" headlights

hello chris,

thank you for your response. the more I survey the jeep, the more I am sure that it was a military jeep. over the next few days I will try to gently clean the paint on the hood and see if there are any numbers. the delivery plate reads 4/19/1945. the frame plate reads the same serial # as the dash plate. I noticed that some of the photos I have seen on the net that there is a smaller fourth plate closer to the center line of the jeep. Would you happen to know what information it contained? thank you again, I'll keep you posted if you like. alex ----- Original Message -----

Sent: Saturday, September 22, 2007 9:56 AM Subject: Re: [WT] jeep mb "recessed" headlights Hi Alex, MB's came with the recessed headlights in the grill so it is all probable that the previous owner, or one of the previous owners changed it over to a civi grill. One of the jeep dealerships in my area would make this change for a customer back in the early 50's according to one of my neighbors. He had a MB from the local Army Air corp base, but didn't like how dim the lights were. The dealership changed the lights and grill over for him. Both he, and I, wish he still had that old jeep. :) Does your MB still have the data tags on the dash? Does it have the tool boxes built into the rear quarter panels? Lack of tail gate? What other changes did they do to it? Can you tell MB's are my favorite??? :) Chris Cortland, NY ----- Original Message ----- From: alexande1r To: WillysTech@...

The Flyingn Jeep? - was Re: Fork-n-Jeep : Re Donny Dickey
Donny, Are you saying that jeeps were converted to everything
other than an aircraft. Because there were two version of the flying jeep. They used the helicopter principle. A tower was built between the driver and the passenger seats. That tower housed the main rotor support bearings. If you search the internet you will possibly find the pictures of the two versions. I have no idea if these things actually flew ??? They were called the "FLEEP" for Flying Jeep. It was tried sometime during the second world war. Robbo Re: Fork-n-Jeep? Posted by: "Donny H. Dickey" b.i.x@... bixis2 Wed Sep 26, 2007 6:46 am (PST) Other than air craft, is there ANYTHING that Jeeps haven't been converted to? DHD |

original bolt finish
Hi, I'm still working on my CJ2a, my question is... what was the original finish
on the bolts & screws inside the cockpit? Were they blued, unpainted or what? How 'bout the footman loops and screws? I could ask my uncle who was a mechanic during the last big war but he probably would think I was mad. I looked on the WT database but they only have lots of questions about the wheel color. Thanks for any help. |

Passenger side wiper blade..........
Anyone have a source for the passenger side,hand-operated wiper blade for a
`46 CJ2A? I even contacted the Wiperman and he couldn't help.......said it was quite a bit thicker than normal blades......and I am betting few of you even HAVE that wiper,but I`m searching for a source.Part number or even a substitute that fits would be GREAT also!! Thank you..............Mike *** See what's new at |

Have you tried Walcks4wd.com? I don't know if they carry such a thing, but its worth a shot? I haven't seen too many parts manuals for the civi trucks, but maybe..... Sorry I can't be more helpful, but hopefully one of the truck owners will chime in. Good luck! Chris Cortland, NY ----- Original Message -----

I am in the process of aquiring a '51 Willys Wagon... and am looking to find a parts manual for it... I have restored a '52 Willys/Ford M-38CDN and so am used to the military manuals. But, I have found having a parts manual handy during tear down is helpful to see if there is something missing that needs to be replaced down the road prior to rebuild. Also having the correct part number and reference make sure you are asking for the correct part... Plan is to restore the Wagon to original configuration and go from there... Any advice is welcome...

Part Manual For Willys Wagon...
Harold Miller
Hi All,
New to THIS forum, I belong to the Willys Military Jeeps group also. I am in the process of acquiring a '51 Willys Wagon 4x2 and am looking for a source for a parts and service manual. I would like it on CD in PDF format but Hardcopy is OK. I have restored a '52 M-38CDN and M-100 trailer and got spoiled on the military manuals. Hope to have the wagon this weekend. Any help would be appreciated. Hal OKC, OK |
