Re: tub rails...
Don Miller
What I did was remove the body, flip it over and fabricated new ones out of
a structural steel called "unistrut"...this is a very strong channel shaped steel that has slots spaced every couple of inches or so. I cut and laid the pieces directly on top of the old (barely there in some places and non-existent on other places)channel. I tack welded it together (no solid welding yet so as to avoid heat warppage) then welded it to the tub; again skipping around to avoid heat warppage. I was having fun welding and teaching my son how to weld so we probably welded too much but 1 inch of weld then skip 3 or 4 or 5 inches would probably be sufficient. You may have to drill some holes depending on how the holes on the unistrut fall in relation to the mounting points on the frame. Good luck. Don ---(0)IIIIII(0)--- |

'Ya gotta see this.
Kendal Jackson
Was goofing around and found this.... MB for sale :-) Anyone want to split
the cost? I would be willing to bet the guy would come down on price a good 50K if we talk real nice. Do you think out off all that we could put together one decent Willys? Kendal Jackson --It might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level I'm really quite busy-- |

L-134 Generator Found
David H. Hatch
Hi...
Just returned from ham radio event. A guy there had a Willys L-134 generator. All nomenclature plates intact, all serials readable. Donaldson air filter. Ran like a charm, 24 hours straight for the event. Not for sale that I know of, but for those "documenters" of such, I can get serials for you. Just ask. Dave |

Re: Electrical System

Bob,
As Reed has said, the write up on the 3B site is very good. As for a parts source for the alternator, believe it or not, I was able to get one at NAPA that worked for my application (a '48 CJ-2A). They have more than you'd think, if you can convince them they have it and get them to look in their books. Sean bob.dee@... wrote: From: bob.dee@...-- Sean R. Kerns (aka Snake) e-mail: music@...

Yes! there is a Bernie Daily
Hi all,
Life, work, Willys they make such demands. Well, maybe not the willys. It is always there ready to take me anywhere. Like last night. I went to a cruise nite 50 miles away. That's a 100 mile round trip. Going the temperature was in the 90"s, coming back it had cooled and my bright (really) 6 volt system showed the way. the truck was a big hit. Everyone loves them as you know. Maybe the corvette guy next to me felt a little slighted (shouldn't have bought such a common car) I displayed the "Original SUV" decal and I got a lot of smiles. I just got my plates renewed and had my year of manufacture '55 Commercial plate with the '59 tag, looks good. since I only run a rear plate, I now have a motorcycle sized plate from '56 that was for pre-paid New York state Thuway use. Neat! I haven't been back in a while, the list was hard to red with the blue border encroaching on the print, looks good now. I started a new job and I may get back to regular email for the list. Maybe even regular contributions : ) we'll see. Love the list!!! Bernie |

Rick, I think you are correct. On another T-90 the only difference is in the (tower)housing.

Re: Backup lights
J.Lewis
Since the boss is already cast in the shifter there must be a switch
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
manufactured specifically for that transmission. I'll bet that it was used in other Willys vehicles, possibly the same switch was used in other transmission models as well. I know that the T18 in my CJ-7 has a switch in a similar position. I'm thinking that the T18 switch could be used for the T90 as long as you had enough room in the casting to drill and tap the correct size hole. Someone needs to take a trip to NAPA and ask for a backup light switch for a T90. Failing that, ask for a backup light switch for another transmission, take a look at it with the measurements of the T90 in mind and determine if it'll fit. It might be worth a try. All you have to do at that point is figure out what kind of backup light(s) you want. A whole other topic for discussion that would be. - Jerry '46 CJ-2a #53681 (in many pieces) ----- Original Message -----

If so, do you remember what switch you used.------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Re: Electrical System
Good morning from New York:
I would like to remove my generator and regulator and replace it with a altanator. Does any body know what altanator part number i need and can i use the same generator support bracket. Is this an easy operation to under take or is their a lot of modications needed. Question no. 2 : How would i reinstall my plow pump, since now my generator would be gone? This is being done on a 46cj2a, whiich is used soley for plowing my driveways only. It allready has been converted to 12 volts since 1985 when i picked it up. Any help would be appreciated Thank you.

Re: cj5 body mounts
Melanie Guilbeault
Hey Jesse,
this is Mat from Germany. I have a 69 CJ5 which I am partially restoring. I had the same problem with the body mounts, and I ended up making them myself. When I was finished I found an ad from "classic enterprises" box 92 Barron, Wi. 54812 Tel. 715-537-5422 in one of my 4x4 mags. They have a picture of the strengthening ribs below the floors and the rear cab mounts by the tail lights. Hope it helps!

Hi Jesse,

Welcome to the list. If there is enough of the original body mounts left, you can cut them off and take them to a custom sheet metal fabrication shop and have them make you a new set. Then you can weld the new ones back on. I recommend that they not make the new ones out of galvanized metal. Most welders will not weld on this stuff because it's toxic. As for getting to know us. My name is Rick Stivers and I'm in the Air Force stationed in San Antonio, TX. I drive a 1962 Willys Pickup with a 350 Chevy motor installed. You can find out most of what you want about my truck at my web site. If you really want to know about us though, I would recommed spending a few weeks going through the Willys Tech Archives. There is a wealth of info on us in there. Our hopes and dreams are revealed to the world through out postings. And Jesse, YOU DON'T HAVE TO YELL! :-) Glad to have you onboard.

It had a switch mounted on the shift rail that would apparently light a light somewhere when it was shifted into 4WD. Unfortunately the switch was too far gone to be used. The end of the switch had a rounded end so it could slide in and out of the machined grove. That sent me looking at the boss on the Shift tower. You guys have to admit that it looks like it was put there just for that reason. That in turn sent me pulling the shift rail out and sure enough there is a machined beveled groove cut there for a detent ball to slip into. I'm not a rocket scientist, so I figured somebody else had already discovered this, and made the required modification to make it work. I don't know it the switch that was in the Dana opened or closed when the button was released, but either way I figure I could wire it up to work. Ron, I'm not sure if I have clearance to fit a switch on top of my tranny because of the floorboard. If not, I think your installation on the end of the rail would be a good alternate solution. Either way I'm going to try to get backup lights on this thing by years end. Rick S (TX) |

Re: Shift tower
Ron,
I think I've figured out the differences in what we are looking at. Apparently the shift tower for the M-38 is different from the one in my pickup. I would surmise that this is because, M-38s were made to ford deep water and my truck was not. Does anybody have a illustrated parts breakdown for the M-38 T-90 that can be posted. I will scan one for the pickup as well and post these pictures along with the instructions for each type. Great job Ron. I really do appreciate this. Rick S (TX) |

That would probably work. You would need to machine the groove in the shifter rail to smoothly lift and lower a follower of some kind, probably one of the balls laying in the back of the shop that bounced off someone's forehead. Actually, should be something a little smaller I think. You could set it up with a normally open switch, so when the follower dropped in the groove, the switch would make. Something akin to a late model stoplight switch like most swing pedals use. Ron Rick48CJ2A@... wrote:
