1951 Willys Wagon UpGrades
John Millard
Hi, I just purchased a 1951 Willys Wagon with a 350 Chevy engine. The
rest of the drive train is original including an added overdrive. My wife and I are avid campers and we want to be able to go several hundred miles on camping trips. We can only go about 50mph, any faster and it sounds like the whole machine is going to blow-up. I have called around and found that putting 4.27 gears into the front & rear axles will only give me a few miles per hour. I was also told that the tranny would most likly not hold up pulling a camping trailer. I am wondering what the best recommendatiuon(s) is/are for making a more reliable Willys Wagon for camping trips. Chevy S-10? The Camping trailer weighs 1980lbs empty and perhaps only 2400lbs loaded. My ears are open to suggestions, Thanks, John & Kathy Millard, Arvada Colorado |

Re: [WT] Passenger side wiper blade..........

Even WiIlys didn't sell the blade separately, but it would be nice if someone did. The blade is hollow-riveted to the arm yoke, so would probably have been considered "non-user replaceable". Willys offered only 1 part number, 663648, for ARM and BLADE assembly. The blade is indeed wider than the typical hook blade as used on the driver side: .225" vs .160". Exactly 9.5" long: photo: <> From a quick dimensional check between photos, it looks like Pete DeBellas repro is exactly the same ('cept OD :-). If he has the blade by itself, let us know! Sean Thanks Chris....and I will contact Mr DiBella.....but in my case all I need |

Not sure, but look at under MB hand operated wipers. They have a single hand operated one that might do the trick.

Hand wiper, this is the single wiper for MB-GPW, CJ2A is an exact reproduction. Price $35.00 click the link and then go down about half the page. On the left will be the dual hand held wiper system, and on the right will be the single. Good luck! Chris Lange Cortland, NY ----- Original Message -----

TV 30 WGTE Toledo Ohio will air the program "Jeep: Steel Soldier" on Thursday Sept, 27 at 8:00 PM.

I'm even more feeling left out :( Being in Western Pennsylvania, not far from both Butler and Pittsburgh, I feel a double irony. First Bantam in Butler submitted the first prototype quarter ton vehicle to the Army. Secondly, Pittsburgh is the home of the first publicly supported TV station, and it was also the fifth educational station to sign on in 1954. The program is NOT listed on their schedule. :(

Not sure about that fourth plate, but I'm sure someone on here may. It might be the body tub tag? I'm not sure. Take your time on sanding the hood. Very gently, and wet sand it if you can. I was able to find the hood numbers for my 55 M38A1 this way. And I have found out that my 51 M38 was a "NG" or National Guard jeep, as it had the lettering under about 5 other colors on the rear bumperette. Sounds like you definitely have a war jeep! Congrats!! I am allready very jealous! Yes, please keep me posted! If you have any pics of this new jeep of yours, please send them along to Bullseye@... my home e-mail address. Good luck!

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@...
