1963 Brochure For New Gladiator and Wagoneer

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

This 1963 one-page double-sided brochure printed in Canada announces the new Wagoneer and Gladiator models. What I found interesting was on the back. The chart shows the electrical setups for all vehicles as of 1963. I was surprised to see that while the Surrey DJ-3A still had the 6 volt battery option, the standard Dispatcher DJ-3A did not. I was surprised to see the FCs also had a 6 volt option still.

It is possible this was unique to Canadian made jeeps, but I can think of no reason that would be the case.

1950 CJ-3A Waco, TX **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9000.

Given the year and the military passenger fender, I checked to see if this was a CJ-V35U. The spare can holder and the tire mount on the back of the tailgate appear consistent with one. However, if it had the correct dash plates, most are missing.

Year? GPW? Spokane Valley $11,950

• CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB) This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Listed as a 1946 CJ-2A, this seems more like a GPW based on the front cross member. But, there’s been some frame mods, so this needs a closer inspection.

“The 1946 Jeep CJ 2A was the first production Civilian Jeep, hence CJ… See, ya learn something everyday ! 🙂

This ’46 has reportedly only traveled a little over 12,000 miles. They are VERY basic, they are not fast, but, the bloody things will go just about anywhere…just don’t be in a rush 🙂

The Jeep starts instantly cold or warm and runs great. There are no rust significant issues and as expected is finished in Olive drab.

Kelly-Branded Dualmatic Hub

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

A set up Dualmatic-style two-lever hubs appeared for sale on Facebook the other day. What made this set unique was that the hubs were private labeled for Kelly Manufacturing. It’s the first set I’ve seen with Kelly’s information on it. I doubt there are many other hubs bearing these stickers.

This shouldn’t be too big of shock, as Kelly also private labeled Kayline tops for sale in the late 1950s. And, of course, Dualmatic was offering to private label their hubs for Sears, Allstate, and other entities.

Along with some rust, this CJ-2A has all kinds of mods. I’ve unaware of any factor “cowl cover”; that said, the place I’ve seen these cowl extensions most often is in the northern Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana areas, so maybe there was a dealer(s) in those areas offering custom cowl creations? The hardtop looks to be an aftermarket Koenig half cab.

“Again with a tear in my eye, I am offering my
1949 CJ3A Jeep that I have owned for 52 years.

This was my second Jeep and my family and I
won the most active family trophy in the Phoenix
Jeep Club for several years.

But that was a long time ago, and all good things
must come to an end.

This vehicle has many modifications mostly of the
wrecking yard variety which is the way we used to do
things back in the day.

So here is my fairly honest appraisal.

The Jeep has the V6 Dauntless engine
from a 1966 CJ5.
The engine has a polished aluminum
Ofenhauser manifold with a vintage
Carter AFB 4 barrel carburetor.

I still have the original 2 barrel manifold
and carburetor somewhere.
