Family CJ6 Project

All three Internationals are nice, I especially like the medium duty one.

 

I used hanging pedals from an early 70's CJ with a corvette master cylinder and an 80's era clutch master. For gas pedal linkage I used a 70's Ford truck setup so no cable. I'm going to get pics of the engine bay and such up soon as ******* stops by.

 

The blue one ton is mine, been in the fleet for about ten years. I wore out two floors in the dumping stakebody with firewood and such. It's powered by a 392 and has 4:88 gears. The big blue truck is mine and has a 6-71 Detroit diesel in it and a 33,000 lb gvwr. When I did the cab, I had it hot dip galvanized. The Orange International is my friend *******'s truck. He put a 6.9 diesel in it but is currently yanking it out for a Cummins and six speed. All of these trucks work and have dents and scratches. The Farmall M is mine and has Arias pistons, a custom cam, distributor,governor and carb. It also works doing feed plots and tillage for me. I just added the wide front this year so it's a bit safer for my son CJ to operate.

 

On the Willy s wagon from the scrap yard, it's so rotted that the frozen mouse nests were all that held it together so don't feel too bad that it's at the local wrecking yard. The hood is good I think but that's about all. The engine may be a good core if someone needed a rebuilder.

 

wow the Jeep looks amazing! Keep up the good work,I look forward to seeing some more progress.

 

Nice! Looks really good!

 

Where are those 3b's?

 

Friends farm near me. He's kinda funny about selling stuff. I'll ask for you.

looks great... I am debating doing that with my tub too..
you didn't to the tool box option right? Im wondering how im going to go about that...

did it add any sound deadening?

 

I wish now I did the toolbox option, but I needed to keep price low as possible at the time. The spray in liner does add a good bit of sound deadening. I wish it was like the sample at 1/4 inch thick but it was more like 1/8. The vortex liner is not as rubbery as rhino lining, but more rubbery than line x. Seems like things shouldn't slide around too much and should be durable. Time will tell.

 

*******, your video of CJ driving the Jeep on the trailer played the first time and then I got some video of basketball and nonsense. What the heck is all that?

 

New cam lifters and timing set. Also now running pertronix. Made bumper loop out of u bolt from a mack truck

Engine is all back together. Quieter and smoother than ever. New cam lifters and timing set.

 

any special prep work that needed to be done to the aluminum before the bed liner?
