I am working on a 62 Willys Truck I acquired a few months ago. I didn’t need it but I wanted it.
I bet you’re having fun finding parts like I get to with my Willys jeep.
The next job which I would like to do is the windshield frame. All goes well into the next pay period, I’ll order it.
After that, it’s save up and buy the few bigger things it needs and send it to a shop. No lift, no beer buddies, and tennis elbow rules out the underneath stuff.
Brakes all around, lift kit, steering box rebuild, and very likely the transmission need reworking. Barring catastrophic engine problems, it would be done short of paint and body.
Today I learned that taking the windshield frame off my long languishing CJ7 to replace it was a two man job. I got it down anyway.
I used some Christmas money and bought some impact bits. Between those, 3 small propane torch bottles, and some patience, the frozen 1982 torx screws came out.
Nice! My family had one on the farm that my father got rid of a few years ago.
We used to use it to haul silage to a bunch of Bulls that we would feed with beet forks.
Needless to say, the box was in terrible shape. I will never forget it though.
