I think I will take a week off from work and watch the transformation take place and, to pay respects to BigWalton, take TONS of pictures. Posted daily of course. :cool:

I think you'd have a lot more people than just me to answer to if there weren't sufficient pictures of this thing coming together :evil: My minions at work! :rotfl:

I really want a live webcam feed!!! :woot:
 
your 'auto hubs' are simply stock drive flanges and do not offer an axle disconnect feature that locking hubs do. There are auto locking hubs that work in forward gears but do not lock in reverse, these also have a conventional manual locking mode that works like a 'normal' locking hub but they havent been offered for years. I hope to find some from a J 10 (the only ones I've seen) for my scrambler but haven't had much luck yet. I would put some sort of lockout hubs on the front though.
 
WOW! Jealous, very Jealous. Can't wait for the pics Buffy. My brothers friend found a 68 GT350 in a barn about 10 years ago and got it for $2,500. I love to hear about these kind of finds! Very stoked for you.
 
just realized there were MANY more pages.....and what do you know....there were pics! :rolleyes: Eventually I'll figure out these futuristic computing tools.....:crazy:
Beautiful Jeep and so cool with the deisel setup!:drool:
 
I am getting very antsy to get the motor installed and take it for a spin. My slush fund is getting close, but not close enough. I am hoping to have enough money together by the end of summer! :fingerscrossed:
 
I love it....so cool!!!

Question...it appears to have two ash trays, one mounted on the dash, the other under the dash just below the wiper switch. Why two ash trays?
 
I don't think that is an ash tray but from the picture it sure looks that way. I will have to take a look at it tonight when I get home. And the motor fund is ALMOST THERE!!!! :woot:

I think the ash tray on the dash was added later like that button or snap between the oil and volt gauge. That dash ash tray was used when the Jeep had a/c and was centered over the oil and volt gauges. To me that one looks to have been just screwed into the dash by someone. my:twocents:
 
I was looking through my pictures the other day and something caught my eye that I had not noticed before. It looks like my Jeep is haunted! In one of the pictures there is an orb floating in the air. The picture was not the first or last I took that day but the only one with the orb in it. If you blow the picture up you can see facial features, eyes... nose... Anyway thought it was neat...

Here is said photo, the orb is slightly right above center. Maybe it is the previous owner hanging out with me :smokin:....

Well certainly is an interesting find.

I did my best to blow it up and find what you are seeing in terms of a face.

It looks a little more like the number "3" to me, any significance to three?
 
Unfortunately what gets saved is only 34KB and the original image I have is 687KB. Shoot me a PM and I'll email you if you are interested. If I get a chance this evening I'll see if I can blow up the picture and repost it.
 
Still have it.... still saving my pennies to get the motor installed.... not ready to sell. :D

Everytime I get close to having my money saved I have a family issue that drains the mad money. Family first toys last.
 
I just spent an hour (at work no less) discovering this thread for the first time. Now I might have to spend an hour or so of 'alone time' to come down off the high. (I think I might have pee'd myself.)

Truly an awesome piece of vehicular history. Great backstory. Incredible provenance. True rarity. Fantastic condition.

As the guys on Antiques Roadshow would say, "This one has it all."
 
I pulled the cover back on it the other day and was sitting in it. Hands on the steering wheel almost caught myself making diesel noises. :cool: I am really looking forward to cruising down the road. I recently purchased a factory AC unit to install once everything gets going. :D

Don't know about that.... you haven't seen my driveway. I look like a used car lot. I have 7 toys.... 6 vehicles, 4 of which are 4WDs and 1 classic sports car... and a motorcycle. :woot:
