Looks solid, but a 1964 wouldn’t have the WILLYS branding on the hood or tailgate. It also would have had a place for the parking brake, but that is absent on this one.
“1964 Restored WIllys Jeep, Manual, 4X4. Mileage unknown. Please contact Anna at Worley Motors for more information. You can see more pictures on our website at www.worleymotors.com.”
I always wanted to ask, just haven’t til now. Why 4 shifters? 3/4 speed, high/low, 4 wheel/ 2 wheel drive and? Thanks
Larry, it must have an overdrive.
Warn or Saturn overdrive. Long one next to tranny shifter.
Nice looking and I’m kind of partial to the late production 3B’s.
Re-pro tub is my guess. Notice the extra support/ stiffening strip at the front edge of the fender, where it meets the grill. (exactly like how the M38 has) My re-pro 3A fenders have that same piece. And there aren’t any “holes” in that strip per-say, more like c-notches so one could just loosen bolts and fold the grill down. (again, exactly like the M38)
Yep, that’s a Warn OD shifter.
Larry, feel free to ask questions if you have them. If you’d rather ask privately, email me at d@ewillys.com. There’s a ton to learn and sometimes I forget to point out stuff like that.
Frame looks long at rear cross member , I say repro body on 64 CJ 5 frame
Thanks for the replies. Dave, I have been into FC’s since I first saw one. It was a FC170 parked on top of a dirt pile at an apartment complex. I thought THAT is the ugliest truck I have ever seen, gotta have it! I left a note on the windshield every day until he broke down and sold it to me. I do have a question about “regular” jeeps. Is there a page somewhere where I can see jeeps side by side to see the differences in models? You guys just rattle off model numbers and years by looking at them. I’m just floundering trying to figure it out. I see obvious stuff like high hoods, low hoods, rounded, etc, Thanks
Larry
I didn’t notice the frame thing until you pointed it out
Terry: Good thinking. That’s a possibility.
Larry: I still struggle with some of the finer details on the MBs, GPWs, Wagons, and Trucks, so don’t feel too bad. My problem is that I’ve never worked on any of those models. It’s the active work of working on a jeep that teaches me the most.
I have a variety of brochures that show different jeeps, but even then such brochures don’t break down the specifics we often discuss. For example, the CJ-2A went through a few design changes over the years, such as removing the driver side tool indents, switching from a column shift, changing the front grill. But, it takes some time to learn all those changes. Complicating things is that many parts from many different models can be reused, which makes identifying jeeps more complex. And, the addition of aftermarket body parts only complicates the issue further.
I had hoped to do a book and a website that showed how each model changed over time, but I haven’t had the time to do that yet.
