Rick's CJ-3B Jeep

 

The suspension is 3 link up front and 4 link in the rear with coil's.
I got the coil's from Art Morrison (Fife, Wa)
I did not have the tools to spline the axles so I had Barley Machine Shop (Bremerton,Wa) spline them for me.
I had Bud Machine Shop (Tacoma, Wa) build the 302 Motor.
I found a C-6 in the paper and I put a shift kit in it.
My uncle's junk yard had a NP-205 in a box all in pieces.
The Fiberglass Body, I had some mold's and I picked the CJ-3B, it took only one week end to build the whole body.
This was the first Jeep body I built off the molds a friend gave me.
For the roll bar I pick up a pipe bender and bent all my own pipe.
The tools I used included a Sawzall, grinder, welder, drill and put it all together in my small garage.
When I started this project I really did not know if I would finish it or throw it all way, you can see I didn't throw it a way.
This is the first time I built some thing like this.
My wife at the time said it was a waste of money and it will sit in the garage and take up space for year's and never be touched. (as you can see... it gets plenty of use!)
