Some 3b Pics

[wheelie]

I guess I'll help keep this active and add a few pictures.

I brought this '54 home to part out many years ago. Discussion here on the site at the time led me to paint the name "Tetanus" on the side for no reason since much of the beast was going to scrap anyway. It would have been something in its' day before it's demise. Braden LU-2 on the front. This is the jeep that sparked some discussion about the slightly oversized glass marker lenses on the front.











Searching for pictures of Buford but I can't them. Thought I had some digital pics from when I first brought it home but they're either lost or I'm mistaken. But I can't find those actual pics laying around either. I dunno. Only ones I have of him are in the garage at the start of the teardown. I'll keep looking.

Wow that puppy was RUSTY

Yea. No doubt it had a hard life. Snow plowing is hard on them. It came out of northern Maryland. Tetanus was a great name for it and very fitting. Almost hated to junk the remnants after naming it.

Guess my shots of Buford are long gone so no love there.

Wow, what a cool B. Too bad.

I'm impressed it had a pto winch, snowplow lift and a pintle hitch all packed together on the front.

Hey Dave you didn’t by chance save the Husky Hood Ornament did you? Definitely rusty especially when it’s rusted out the front of the fender where it did.

Hood ornament was sold along with anything else that was salvageable and wanted by anybody....which really wasn't much. But I made a few bucks on it if you don't count my time. And a couple of small parts I kept for my own use.

Found the shots of the B I was looking for. This is the one in the torturously timeless build thread.
