“It is with much sadness that I post this unique gal for sale.
What do I have: replacement title says ‘44 but I don’t think that’s right. I believe that she is a 1951 CJ-3A and NOT a WW2 Jeep. I believe it is one of 75 jeeps that the Valentine Weldong Company converted for use as a Navy APU. The hole in the dash along with a few holes where their badge would go and the hood bump leads me to this conclusion. I have no proof of this, just what the evidence seems to indicate.
Engine: She does have the F4-134 engine that was put into the Navy APUs along with a very well done hood bump to create the additional clearance. Runs great and clean if you drive her often. Did spit some smoke at startup recently after sitting for a couple months but cleared right up.
4-wheel drive: is operational, Continue reading →

This one has some 1970s era paint styling, so I thought was worth posting despite the fact that this sold quickly for $8500.

“Customized Jeep CJ-5, older renovation but still in good shape. Has dauntless odd fire engine with 3-speed manual with overdrive. I have not owned long and don’t know a lot about it but enjoy cruising around. Put a timing chain in it and new plugs when I bought it. Believe Radio works but no speakers, wiper motor needs replaced and steering is a bit loose, soft top in great shape with removable doors.”

Life’s been busy this last week. I’ll update as soon as I can!

Improving the steering was one project I addressed this week. First, I worked through both Heim joints and the quick-steer, cleaning and lubing as much as I could. Then, thanks to Rob Stafford’s suggestion,  I modified the power steering pump, first by drilling a slightly larger hole through the servo valve, then I lengthened the spring that controls the actuation rate. I felt this was the least invasive of the modification options.

Here is one of the links I relied upon: https://www.pirate4x4.com/threads/modifiying-saginaw-power-steering-pump-revive.2712489/. I would call the improvement drastic, but it does seem to have improved the steering. I figured making this change was easier and made more sense than trying to remove the quicksteer, which will be a bigger project.

I also spend some time looking at the rear axle, as I thought it had shifted. After making additional measurements, I concluded that my initial estimations were wrong. The axle hadn’t moved; when at the race, I’d mis-measured. Anyway, I was happy to make a dumb mistake, as it meant I didn’t have to address the issue.

August 1960 Traveller Brochure

I bought this rare Traveller brochure off of ebay, one I’d never seen. It’s printed on a heavier than usual paper, almost card stock thick. This is the earliest example of a Traveller brochure that I’ve seen. This brochure is form number 8-9-tr-60-8-1.

This brochure starts as a 5.5″ x 8.5″ brochure. Here’s the front page. The use of “Traveller’s” plural refers to the 2WD and 4WD as separate models. A 1961 brochure used the singular Traveler and did not show the 2WD with its different styling, but a 1962 switched back to the plural Travellers.

This issue of the July 1956 four-page service and parts news introduces the Power-Lok differential upgrade, a dealer installation option. A news item on page three seems a little bit too enthusiastic about the clutch adjustments, as the article claims one in three adjustments leads to a clutch overhaul (and service profits).
