Re: [WT] 43 CJ or MB

43 CJ or MB
Hi Folks,
EBay has a 43 Willys CJ posted. I used to own a 43 Ford CJ type Jeep. Did Willys and Ford both make Jeep vehicles at the same time or is someone mistaken?

Re: [WT] Rattle can paint...
Tower Paint in WI can mix any paint code for old Willys. I have used them
for years. And yes they pack it in cans.

Re: [WT] 43 CJ or MB
Scott,
CJ's (stands for civilian jeep) of any description did not come ALONG UNTIL
AFTER THE WAR IN ABOUT 46-OR 47. So if you are referring to a 1943 model it
would have to be an army model

Re: [WT] pitman arm installation question...
That wasn't where I used the 600wt oil - I used it in the knuckles on
the axle. For the steering gear I went with the straight 140wt oil
specified in the service manual I have. That was a 1950ish

Re: [WT] pitman arm installation question...
Thanks Dave- I was hoping you were trolling tonight! PS- I filled the
steering gear with 600wt gear oil (for a Model "A")I think this was
from your bag of tricks...

Re: [WT] Show time!
Stick with the soft cloths. Paper towels can be a little coarse and
they tend to leave fuzzies behind.
My approach is probably not the best approach to follow, although I
