Jeep updates
Well, here it is on into April. The CJ-3B semi-runs now. The carb need rebuilding, and the left hub on the front axle wont turn to engage or disengage. I mean the actual Warn hub, not the hub assembly.
Research shows the Jeep to be a 1959.
On my next day off, I'm planning to drive to Krage Jeep Motorsports and see about getting a rebuild kit for the carb, along with finding out just what's wrong with my locking hub.
A while back I had an offer to buy a CJ-3B with no hood, grille, or tailgate, and a Buick V6 for 100 bucks. I need to speak with the gentleman and see if the offer is still valid. If so, the parts will have to wait. I'd just as soon buy the semi- whole 3B and flat- tow what's left of it home and use pieces off of it.
Dad's purchased a new welder, so once he gets the time we're going to remove the front springs that are currently on the 3B, reocate the mounts, and install the proper springs. We'll probably install a different front axle as well. The kingpins/ bushings are shot in the current one, but we dont have the time or knowledge to go about rebuilding it yet. Eventually, the current front axle along with the engine, steering, etc...will all be rebuilt, restored, and returned to showroom condition.
As of this moment, I have both locking hubs removed and the carb should come off tommorrow.
Probably oughta post this...
