KnarlyCarl Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Wow looks like those super short wheel base trucks at air Force bases I've been to, usually Ford pickups.

Theultimatehic Posted December 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Gonna rip it apart and make sure any rosy is gone but it's pretty solid. There's some tlc needed but it's been in az its entire life. So weather hasn't hurt it too bad. It will be fun to do and interesting to watch I'm sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Oh wow @Theultimatehic 4 sticks. I'm guessing one is gear shift and another for changing from 2x4 to 4x4 but what could the others be for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theultimatehic Posted March 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 One pto the other is an override when in 4 low and hit a flat spot. Shift it and your in high. You don't shift gears when you use it though. They don't do that anymore. You have to stop and shift. Maybe electronic ones you don't have to stop?

Jronman Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 what is pto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 what is pto?Power take off, in my realm in the fire service we have pto pumps meaning that the engine will power the pump and the drive train at the same time, as opposed to one or the other, our bigger engines it's either In pump or drive where the smaller brush unit can pump and drive due to the PTO pumpMake sense? So basically the motor can power the drive train and another piece of equipment at the same time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlas2000 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Is that a cover welded over winch cable? Very interesting project. Did your dad get it from a dealer or military surplus? Doesn't look standard civilian issue for the time period. Hope you get time to work on it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theultimatehic Posted March 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 The cover flips up but can be taken off. He bought it from a guy in northern az in 92 or 93. Civilian model though. Military model would of been cool though, at least for collector value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PTO originally allowed them to pull equipment normally reserved for tractors. I did a fair amount of research over ten years ago when I still had my 1960 DJ3. I want get another flat fender Jeep one day. They're slow, moody, and most need a lot of work these days, but the classic original look is unmatched by anything since. Then again, I'm a fan of military history, so a CJ-3B might suffice, since they are similar to the Korean War era M38A1.

I'm biased, of course, but modern safety standards (not to mention convenience and luxury option necessary to enhance sales) make today's Jeeps little if any more practical than most other 4wd vehicles for off road use. Military use is improbable at best--they simply wouldn't hold up to what I've put HMMWVs and even LMTVs through. Even so, it's nice that modern Jeep Wranglers at least maintain the basic appearance of their predecessors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, mine was comfortable enough but still a little small for my 5'11" height. The military knows how to make even the largest vehicles uncomfortably small, though. Armored HMMWV variants are cramped for someone even my size, especially when you add body armor and battlefield tracking systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
