1954 cj 3b

Thinking about buying a 1954 cj3b. Never owned one only round fenders. What should I look for? They look kinda cool.

 

Basicly the exact same drivetrain as a 5/6 in a flatty body, and in my opinion, the only really significant difference being the spring lengths. Check for rust/bodo/patches in all the same areas as a round fender-floors, sills, tool box etc. If you have a 134 powered round-fender, you already know what to look for in the drivetrain.

 

Yep, all jeeps rust out in the same areas.

 

This willys I'm going to look at has a t90, does'nt know the gear ratio has a heater and is 6volt. Suppose to be all original. The 4 cyl does'nt run.

 

If still stock it is going to be a T90A, 1 1/8" intermediate shaft version of the D18, and 5.38 axle gears.

 

Thanks for the info. I'll let you know the condition.

 

easy to get running (probably) i bought a 53 in august, let me know if you need help or pics of anything on it

 

I'm up here in Greeley, I have a '61 with a v6, PTO, OD, etc.. Probably my favorite vehicle.
Let me know if I can help.
