My 1955 Willys project

[Mudhawg]

buddy dropped this off as he moved onto a fullsize chevy and no longer had room for it, setup for a chevy 350 already narrowed 60 rear narrowed 44 front currently on 36 iroks but he wants them back, i have all the windowframe/doors was just too lazy to put them on for now

[w squared]

Now that's a cool project!

[Mudhawg]

Hoping its finally something me and the old man can work on together instead of arguing about garage space

[Gearhead]

Clean up the garage , gain back some space instead of arguing about it.  It looks very messy  , items that are laying around and have been for a long period  should be discarded . I purge ocassionally , if I didn't the junk would accumulate and overwhelm what little space I have.   The first time , it was hard parting with treasures that had been stacked in boxes , I needed room more than I needed to archive un needed items , now it's easy to sort through  and toss  old useless crap  and has become an anual event .      Ever watched that television program called      Horders  ?

Sweet project if you need a 350 pm me

to bad you passed on the 'burb dude, that driveline would have been stellar in that thing.

[Mudhawg]

i have to run a standard an auto is way to long for this thing, plus i really didnt pass on it considering i had cash in my pocket and you sold it 

[JackstandJohnny]

snooze you loose   besides, i fetched a fair deal more than i would have let you have it for. can't blame a guy for not holding it.

probalby gonna have to stretch that wheelbase neways.  unless you want to hook up the tcase to the diff   dem CJ5 have a pretty short wheelbase!

finish this one doug; its even better than you XJ

[Mudhawg]

ya the rear drive shaft is a whopping 9" long hahaha it had a 350 with a ford toploader out of a mustang and a tcase but id rather just run all chevy thats why im planning 350/Sm465/NP205 instead of the hacked together setup before

[hps4evr]

an np205 in that! ouch! unless you allready got them maybe try a 231or a 300. 205 are strong, but heavy, hang low, and dont have much for a low range. just a thought dude. im sure the 465 can make up for the lack of low range but i dont know about the other 2.
nice jeep tho;)

[Mudhawg]

was even thinkin of a 208 to shed some weight id like to keep the driveline all chevy so when something goes wrong parts are easy to find

[Mudhawg]

got bored last night so stayed up till 4am sanding/painting to give myself an idea how its gunna look used krylon Italian Olive satin spray can for now

[XJay]

Looks like a sweet project - will be awesome when it's done.

[Mudhawg]

dropped the covers on the diffs today out of sheer boredom, turns out theres a pair of detroit lockers sitting there haha  not bad for a free truck

[Justink]

so dumb question but where did you get that flag on your roof?
