Let's see your original parts!

I was thinking of a great way to get an archive of photos for original parts. If we each put a picture of an original part (doesn't really matter which one), we could get a great collection together. It would be helpful for restorers to know what part is supposed to be there and what it looks like. You should put year and model. Hope this works. Lame start, but here are my original '55 CJ5 top clips on the side of the body:

 

What I do, is I made a folder in my "C" drive called Jeep Stuff, and when I see a photo I want I just right click it, click "save as", put it in Jeep Stuff and give it a name then save it. I have sub folders under Jeep Stuff for heaters, tops, engines, etc. All the cool photos I run across, I just save 'em in my own archives.

 

Re: Let's see your original parts!

That is ideal, but i'm sure it took you a long time. If we could get one thread, we may be providing a good source to those that have not the time to search every post and reply on this site looking for pics that might be the right one. Am I off base here? :? Is this not a good idea? Let me know so we can nip it in the bum if it is not. Thanks, CJ.

 

56 cj5 heater

 

Exactly like the one that was in mine, although yours is much nicer! Had a rheostst switch( white knob) clamped to the dash to operate.

 

Thanks Mike and Adam. Seems like every good idea has already been considered in this day and age! How do we add to that album? CJ

 

Clay, that is the same exact heater that my '55 had. I know Howard would love that if you would sell it!

 

I will probably never use it so i should give it to someone that will, but willysnut I think it was asked a while ago

 

Sorry it was rondog

 

Are you wanting to unload that fine old heater?

 

I'm not too cheap Howie. I'll sell you mine for $1,000.00. That's not too "cheap" is it? :twisted:

 

Cee Jay I can't attach photos in pm not smart enough. I have 2 hard tops one on 56 one on parts 65 jeep if you were closer you could come over and see if one was worth having but i think they are too rusty to ship that far i don't think they are worth the shipping cost. ron dog pm me your address I'll send package but you have to restore and use in jeep.

 

sorry these 2 didn't attach

 

Looks like you may have my original color also. Have you figured out what it is? I think I will skip on the hartop idea at this time. R)

 

Good thinking you haven't seen new england rust. Don't know color
