I have a 1949 CJ 3A that needs full restoration and im not in the position to do that really, i dont have a shop or anything i just have basic tools and not alot of time or money to put into it. it will take years and thousands of dollars. I found a 1978 J 20 truck for 1700.oo in what seems to...

nice lookin jeep

thanks for the much needed info, another question. to do this i would have to first cut off the old perches, and then buy new ones? where do i get that kind of stuff for a 1949 cj3a or would i look for one that fits the type of axle i have. and what other parts am i going to need to buy for this?

and when i saw low end i mean torque, basically. what mods do you do to your engine to get more torque/hp at lower rpm's? im going to be dopping a 6 cyl in my jeep one of these days and im going to want to get a bit more out of it than what it comes with. and what kind of place sells after...

I decided to post this here becuase its a general thread that could be done on any type of vehicle. i realized today that my 49 willy's leaf springs are accualy mounted underneath the axle, which sucks because i was planning on doing one of the block lifts where you put one of the lifting blocks...

alrighty thanks :beer:

does any one here know of any company that makes full body kits for old willy's jeeps? or do u have to just do it by hand

where can i find an oil filter for a 1949 cj 3a? i know im not going to be able to walk into some random automotive shop and buy it. i have a few website's where i could look around on but i was wondering if anyone here knows if you can really find it in store. also, im planning to through in a...

sweet! im picking up a 49 willy my self! any tips?

1949 cj 3 a willy, the restoration begins.

1949 cj 3 a willy, the restoration begins.

maybe im just taking it to far...lol. for now im going to get it running under its own power, it needs some body work and a new paintjob so those are my priorities right now, unless something else comes up.

The first thing i am going to do with the willy is get it running, fix any body work that needs to be fixed and get it painted, then get a top re done for it so its atleast driveable. then i will start with the upgrades. oh and of course ill make sure the frame is solid and what not.

thanks a ton guys. My uncle says the frame is in decent shape. a couple rust holes in the floor and maybe a couple in the panels. hasn't ran in 7/8 years but the only reason it died in the firstplace is because the fusebox/wiring got shorted out by water. does anyone know of any good places or...

what else am i looking at here, will a 350 be to heavy for the front springs? im planning to lift it eventually its not going to be a fast process its going to take a lot of work. here are some pictures.

i was thinking a crate 350. not high performance or anything just the low end modle with 310 hp and 290ish ft lbs of torque (i think). and i was thinking a 4 speed unless there is a good option out there i should be looking for.

hey guys, new to the site here and just had a few questions. I might be picking up a 1949 willy off my uncle for 500 bucks. he has a few spare parts with it such as a distributor, gas tank, damper, carb, wiper blades and some other little things. i have always wanted a project car and this looks...
