Good morning,

If you are looking for a new body for your CJ2A, please shop around first. Most of the bodies come from the Phillipines, and sold by all the venders. I bought a tub about two years ago now from Willysacres.com. This was one of the MDJUAN.com bodies. It did have all the holes drilled for the gauges, floor pedals, etc. The bodies have come a long way from the early years when you would essentially get a tub, that sort of looked like a conglomeration of every Willys jeep from WW2 to 1953. I think with the growing popularity of these old jeeps, MDJUAN has had to improve thier product to keep the buying public happy. I was very happy with the tub I received.

Now I must say that I went with the MB tub for my CJ2A so I did have to change the body mounts on my CJ2A frame, but the holes in the tub were all there.

Finally, when I was shopping for a tub, I did many a search on the computer, and found that Willysacres had the lowest price. That may or may not be the case now, but I do suggest that you do some looking first, as the price may vary greatly from one vender to another.

Good Luck!

This is good and timely information as I too am looking for a jeep
tub (M38a1). After paying the high cost of body work on my 53 truck,
I've decided to replace the sheet metal on this one if it was
available.

This morning I talked with Marcus at Willys acres about the quality
of the MDJUAN product. He said that drilling was still necessary.
He also says that although the parts are primed he recommends that
they be beedblasted and reprimed with an epoxy primer.

After hearing comments on this subject I've decided to order from
them and keep my old tub for reference purposes until the project is
complete.

Are there any problems with shipping a body to the USA from Canada? What
type of costs do you expect for shipping?

Robert and John,

It also helps if you can have it delivered to a business. They pretty much drive a tractor trailer up to your location, and pallet jack the tub in a crate to the end of the trailer. After that, its all up to you. I was lucky as I was able to get mine delivered to my store. He just pulled up to the dock, off loaded it, and drove off. Then my wife pulled the Ranger pickup in, and we slid the crate into the back of the truck.

I would imagine, if you have it delivered to your home, that you will need some sort of two wheeled cart, or something to move the crate. Its large, and you need more than one person obviously to move it around.

Anyway, I was very happy with mine, and that was two years ago. Its now on my CJ2A frame, and the jeep is starting to look more like a vehicle again, and less like a potential marital issue. (-:

Good luck!

John,

My tub was bare metal when I got it from him two years ago, so I had to prime it with two coats of primer, and one coat of OD green. All the major holes are there, like the gauge holes, pedal holes, etc, so don't worry too much about drilling. I have not had a problem with anything Markus has sent to me yet, or I certainly would not recomend him. And I am BY NO MEANS a real mechanic. This was my first attempt at anything like this, so trust me, if I can do it, anyone can. (-:

Good luck!
