1956 Caddy-Camper-Jeep Caravan

• CATEGORIES: Features, Old News Articles • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Today the four 1956 Willys Newspapers in the mail I won on eBay arrived. There is lots of great stuff, both photos and interesting stories. I’ll be sharing them all in the coming weeks.

This first article from the page seven of the June-July 1956 issue tells the story of a retired couple by the name of Hawkins who readied a caravan for some cross country exploration. At the head of the caravan is a Fleetwood Caddillac. It pulls a camper-trailer that pulls a CJ-3B carrying a boat. Looks like they were ready for anything!

Bill’s Half Scale Jeep

• CATEGORIES: Features, Models This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Bill Shaw is looking for some five lug tires for his 1/2 scale jeep project. If you comment below, I’ll make sure he get’s your info. Here are a couple links I found:

http://www.etrailer.com/Tires-and-Wheels/Kenda/AM30000.html
http://www.amazon.com/Kenda-Trailer-Tire-Wheel-Assembly/dp/B000GU40A0/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Bill writes, “I am working on a ½ scale jeep, mounted on a John Deere garden tractor. The engine fits well and I am now working on the axles which I am lowering 6” (if you look on-line, most of these projects have an odd out of kilter high on running gear look). We (my son-in-law, grandson and I) are looking for 4.80/4.00-8 military looking non directional tread tires, 5 of them. If anyone has a lead please let us know – Kanda used to make them, I think. The photos are of a correct size wheel in place, the engine (just fits) and the front steering axle as I am lowering the spindles. We are going to use 5 lug trailer spindles and hubs on the front and on the rear I am going to modify 6” chain sprockets with wheel lugs for the drive axle.”

3D Printing Parts

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Scott has been testing the creation of small jeep parts using a 3D printer. He’s hoping to find options for the type of parts that aren’t sold by vendors. For example, you can see the wagon slider window and rear ashtray knobs he produced below. He tells me the 3D knobs he has produced look and feel like the real ones. You can see examples below that he’s made in different colors.

He’s also testing out the production of other small parts, including ones with a true chrome finish. If anyone has any ideas about hard or impossible parts to find, feel free to comment below.

I purchased this 1951 Willys CJ-3A from a Willys enthusiast in Prescott, Arizona. At the time, I planned to buy a cabin in Prescott and store it there, to enjoy on weekends. My plans changed, and the Willys is in my garage in Phoenix. I am not able to use it like I planned. I love the little thing and don’t have to sell it, but someone should own it who can use and enjoy it as these vehicles were meant to be used and enjoyed.
