1959 Cj3b Project

I had picked up a cool 2A, that I was going to rebuild, but the frame was way beyond savable. I picked up a mint 3B frame that I was going to use. But While looking for parts for the 2a project, I came across a couple more good deals on 3B parts. So the 2a is gone, and the build is now a 3B. Planning a mild wheelers, lockers, small lift, tall skinny tires, stock as much as possible, Going to equip with OBA, and on board welder. Going to give it the old gas station service truck vibe.

So what I have is a complete, apart 1959 3b, frame is junk, tub is 90% new steel replacement panels, all just tacked in, so that is good. I can work with that. I had already picked up a mint 3b frame and axles that I was going to use on the 2A.









It's got a cool fold out windsheild that's in bad shape, but I want to try to save it


The good frame

 

I need to find a way to replace or rebuild the inner frame


cool hubs


matching numbers , too bad rear of the frame is swiss cheese

 

Looks to be a great project!

 

That 2a is so very nice. I am sure the 3b will be equally so.
