i haven't been on here much in the last couple of years because I have been spending my project time on my 48 Willys CJ2A. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zMMq4fESks[/VIDEO]"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zMMq4fESks I still have my 59 and it's still my daily driver. Since I've had it...

Ever since I got my truck back together the temp gauge has moved up almost to the peg and mostly stays up there. I have never had a boilover and have 16,000 miles on the new engine. I have tried several different temp sending units and they don't seem to change anything. I have a 180...

I thought you AD guys might enjoy this guys drawings. He put a link on Thecj2apage.com forums (my new project is a 47 willys). Some neat jeep cards and a couple of AD ones. I'm not connected with the guy, just saw his stuff and thought some of you might like it. Here's the link...

I hope that someone can learn from my ignorance. This is my first truck ever, of any vintage and ever since I got it a couple of years ago it has been a beast to steer, really a workout every time I would get in it. I thought it was due to the wide radial tires that I am running and that were on...

As a teacher with no garage in the middle of the "greatest snow on earth" (at least that's what the tourist brochures say), I have to do most of my work on my truck in the summer. This summer I removed the tired old 327 the previous owner of my truck had in it and replaced it with a 350. At the...

posted this on the 55-59 forum, but thought I might get some more hits here. Can anyone tell me if they have used the V8 conversion motor mounts sold by our host, part # 79-375? How do they work? Do you have to drill holes in the cross member to bolt them to? My truck, a 59, has a 327...

Can anyone tell me if they have used the V8 conversion motor mounts sold by our host, part # 79-375? How do they work? Do you have to drill holes in the cross member to bolt them to? My truck, a 59, has a 327 installed by the previous owner where a 6 cylindar used to be, but he did kind of a...

I'm thinking that I have the wrong clutch fork in my 59. The one I have looks like the one our host lists for 60-72, but I can't find a picture of the fork for a 59 and I can't find anyone that sells them. My linkage is terrible. It rubs and hangs up, even with a giant spring on it that makes it...

Anybody know of an electric replacement for the stock oil pressure gauge on a 59? I can't get the stock one to quit leaking and I'm tired of oil dripping on my foot. Stan

Is there someplace (website, book, helpdesk etc.) that can give me information about what it would take to replace my truck (59 1/2 ton) 4 speed with a more drivable transmission such as a Muncie M20, M21 etc? Not really planning on pulling out any tree stumps or climbing up any walls anytime...

I'm thinking about upgrading my ignition from points to HEI. My truck is a 59 with a 327 engine that the previous owner got out of a car. The motor is mounted on the original front engine mounts and the bell housing mounts. I am wondering if the larger HEI distributor will have any clearance...

Anyone know where to find a kickpanel vent door? (59) It's gonna be cold riding around in this thing in Northern Utah come winter if I don't find a way to block up the vent. I guess I can do like the guy I got the truck from and stuff an old towel in there, but ... Stan

When I bought my truck all the wires and hoses under the dash were scrambled or disconnected. I bought a new wiring harness and hooked up all the guages and they work fine. Now I have moved on to the the wipers and I hope that when I get the lines all hooked up they will work too. I have no...

So I bought this 59 half ton with a 327 of questionable origin and ancestry. The kid said he thought it was from a 68 Impala and he couldn’t remember where the transmission came from. I don’t know anything about how to tell what type of transmission I’ve got, plus it’s covered with about an inch...

This 59 3100 that I just bought has no brake pedal return spring. Should it? The pedal doesn't return all the way to the top without help. I have looked at every on-line catalog I can find, and a couple of paper ones and I can't find anything listed. I just spent some time under there replacing...

I’m having trouble with a fuel pump on a small block. I bought a 59 pickup that has had the 6 cylinder replaced with a V-8 by the previous owner when he was in high school in the early 90’s. The guy I got it from couldn’t give me much info on the motor except “I think it’s a 327 we got it out of...
