    One more can't hurt can it? Never had a B. Not sure if I'll keep it or not. Really just want the rears. It's one a 71 chassis with factory 4.88's that I am planning to sling under my green 71. Then I started thinking, I'll just sell the 71 and keep the B. Then I talked myself out of that, for now anyway. Not sure what to do. Never liked the B til I sat in this one. Flatty with the leg room of a 5. Kinda makes sense. Though it has a face only a mother could love. 225, new clutch, new Rancho lift, new shackles ( Conn-Ferr type, heavy duty, new shocks.) Not crazy about the d plate. Could be undone but would take some work. Guess I'll do the rear swap which means this B will get my 71's current 3.73's. Hoping the 4.88's with the 33's on my 71 will work okay. Don't want to have to drop in an OD. Got a title for a 62 wagon with the B. That may be a hassle for resale. Not sure. Not VIN plate on the JEEP. This makes a total of 6 JEEPs now in my "collection." I am seeking professional counselling on Monday. I have a problem.

    Thats a beautiful looking JEEP.Your knees are below the dash,those classic flat fenders and that front end that says "the heck with aerodynamics I am going to get there when I want to".And you got the 4.88:1 axles. Whats not to love? :)

    aallison 74 cj6, 76 cj5. Has anyone seen my screwdriver?

    That is one cool 3B. I'd keep as it is. And wheel it. Way cool.

    you guys are trying to convince me to keep it aren't you? Wish I had room here to build a quanset hut. She would be an awesome trail rig. Isn't there a foundation out there somewhere to help guys like us keep the JEEPs we find? What to do, whaat too do?

    Uh-oh, I never knew that having too many jeeps WAS a problem. Not a bad example for my 3B that I'm working on.
