Heck! We should just grovel to him about available parts!

 

You bet! I would love to have a military jeep, open top with canvas seats and a windshield that laid down across the hood!

I would keep the original flat head engine - it had about a 4 to 1 compression ratio and would burn about anything including kerosene. And the old clash and crash 3 speed manual tranny - - - - -

 

Hey, welcome...! Glad you took my advice and stopped by!

Guys, mrcman58 has a very interesting bumpside project in the works...but I won't steal his thunder, I'll let him tell you about it!

 

Getting people to sign up is not too difficult - it is getting them to come back and join the discussion that is hard.

Wish you guys wouldn't scare off all the new members!

 

Welcome to the group!!! You have four from my favorite year 1970!!!

 

Hay ***** B the regular ford jeep is a 3 speed, but the ford (GTB) burma jeep is a 4 sp, basicly it is a large jeep looking thing on a 1 1/2 ton frame. sort of a wierd looking thing. i like it because its odd, sort of like me!!!!!!!

all 6 of the burma jeeps i have are currently at the Eagle Field museum in Dos Palos, 4 of them i own myself the other 2 i own half & half with the owner of the museum. we also have an airshow the second weekend in june every year. check it out if interested WWW.eaglefield.org or www.eaglefield.net as far is all the other trucks i listed in my signature, they are at my ford farm. i also collect and sell ford truck parts since the 70's, need anything let me know. i do it as a hobby not a buisness, mostly 1948 to 79, but not much for 53 to 56 models sorry I thinned them out already, I'am thinning out my stuff (spare parts) so check if i have it, or feel free to arrange to stop by and look around to see what i have.

Hay fastmover, I sent you a PM e mail about the 67 to 72 inner fenders and the radiator support you are looking for. I have them and lots of em. there are two different radiator supports for these years, the one for the thicker rad - and one for the thinner one. i have both as spares...... Jess

 

Yea, I know your museum - more my brother than me, but we worked with the war birds for several years, and I got to go out on the carrier for the Doolittle raid reenactment.

Someone gave me a photo of some Jeeps in Burma that had steel railroad wheels installed - the army used them as switch engines at the rail head. Maybe they were your style jeep (1 1/2 ton Ford) - it always seemed to be a lot to ask of a 1/4 ton jeep!

 

"Oh Yes " the dolittle raid reenactment, that was a very cool event.
