New to the site, but not Jeeps
 

Hi, new guy here. I have had a couple of Jeeps in the past. An 80's Cherokee 4 door 6 cyl automatic, 4wd. and an 80's Cherokee 2 door with a 4 banger and 5 speed, 4 wd. Now for something entirely different. I have picked up a 52 Willys Overland wagon on a 94 Blazer 4 wheel drive chassis converted to 2 wheel. 350 Chevy throttle body injection with a 700-R overdrive auto. Tilt and power steering, power disc brakes, power leather buckets and rear seat. It is fun to drive and looks like a hotwheel with my polished Amercian torque thrust wheels on it. Body is a little ruff, but an easy fix. Not too rusty. I am using it year round. I put on the stock wheels for the winter. It pulls my car trailer with ease and should tow my fibreglas holiday trailer with no problem. I am really enjoying it. For a 2 wheel drive it gets around in the snow just fine. At any rate, I joined to find a few parts for it and to see if anyone else here has a modified old jeep wagon. Pat.

Welcome to the Forum.. Now that is CLASS! The car behind it wouldn't be a 49 ford?

Re: New to the site, but not Jeeps
 

Thanks for the reply. The car behind is a 51 Ford coupe I put together for my son. Mustang front end, and chevy running gear. I built a 27 T ford touring hot rod for my daughter. I build hot rods, and buy and sell vintage cars and parts, 1957 and older. Nothing Jeep related though. The Jeep is just a useable toy for me to play with. Really having fun with it because it is not a show car, and can be used every day.
