I used Mar-k's bed kit of white pine for my 59 short bed. I also used their unpolished stainless bed strips and fasteners. I'm very happy with their product. I use my truck as a daily driver and as a pickup hauling stuff, so I didn't really want a finish that was going to get all scratched up...

bed done Got the thing put together today. I'm really happy with how it turned out. My wife likes it too!

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...

headers 58Apache, Sorry i haven't replied soon about my headers. I haven't been on here much lately. My headers are Headman Elite Heavy Duty, part #69268. I got mine from Summit Racing. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hed-69268

Steve, I had trouble with my light switch breaker always kicking of with my halogen headlights. I finally broke down and put a relay in so the main amperage never hit the switch. Stan

My mounts Raymond, My truck is a Chevy. Sorry, I haven't been on the forum in a while and just saw your question. The mounts work great on my 59 in combination with stock bell housing mounts in the rear. You should be able to see the mounts in the picture.

Mike's jeep is pretty cool too! Hi MIke.

Oh man Gerard, that is a bad deal for you. I was really surprised that you had troubles with Keisler because they were great to work with me and their customer service was great. That was 3 or 4 years ago. That bankruptcy news at least lets us know why you are having the trouble you are with them.

Wandering into Willys territory Mostly a lurker here anymore, but since you guys sort of wandered off into what I'm doing these days. Here's a shot of my 48 CJ2A with my daughter and son-in-law, just out for a little Sunday afternoon trail ride. If you like old Willys jeeps...

"26 Horsepower" Is that correct? That's not many ponies for a dump truck.

Gerard, I can't speak for the Muncie 420, but I have purchased a rebuild kit for the T-90 transmission in my 48 Willys CJ2A from Novak and their stuff was top notch. They have great tech information on their website as well. http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/sm420.htm Stan

Classic Truck Here's the cover.

Just got by Classic TRuck Mag in the mail today. The Brothers gathering is covered. Didn't see a truck that look like the one in Roberts avitar.

Just FYI. My 59 has halogen headlights in the High Beam while the low beams are still the old conventional headlights. Every time I switched to high beam the lights would stay on for a few seconds then flicker off. I talked to the the tech support at our host and he told me that halogen...

I had a different brand vehicle with this same sort of problem. Turned out my distributor advance weights and springs were not functioning correctly. Timing was fine at idle but messed up at anything higher than idle. Took the dizzy apart, tightened up the springs and cleaned out all the gummy...

Don't know about the BBB, but I have had my Keisler 5 speed running in my rig for several years now and I am very happy with it. I have had good response from their customer service and from their tech help. Looks like other people have had different experiences with them, but mine has been good...

Bob, I put a 350 in my 59 a couple of years ago. I am not a very neat person and my wiring reflects that, but there are some before and after photos in my "What I did last summer" thread. https://talk.classicparts.com/showthread.php?t=11124 Stan

Steve, I don't get on here as much as I used too. (I've been busy with a 48 Willys CJ2A project, http://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/grampas-cj2a_topic16836.html ) But, I have really enjoyed reading through your posts and following your work. Great job!!

Thanks Nate and Gerald. Engine and gauge grounds might be suspect. I'll make some time to get those checked and updated. Starting second job this week so my tinker time is going to go down in a big way, but I really do want to get this sorted. I suspect that there may have been some gauge...

Well, I pulled the sender out and cleaned out the Teflon tape, then put it back together. Then I went for a little test run. The gauge was a lot steadier and didn't go quite as close to the peg, but it still seems pretty high. I suppose if I took out the 180 thermostat and went to a cooler one...
