1955 Cj5

Responded to an ad on a Jeep a block from my house. The ID number puts it at a 1955. Body rotted to Hades. Has lockout hubs, 1964 Buick 225....newer?? rollbar?

If you had an opportunity to get parts from this what would you rob...in order

What if you had a 48 CJ2A? What swaps from the CJ5 to it?

Thanks!

 

If it's cheap take it all Then you dont have to think under pressure!R) You can't have just one jeep...

 

1. :v6:
2. Radiator shroud if present
3. Wheels if original
4. 0-9 Speedo if not broken
5. Steering wheel if it's not cracked
6. V6 T-90
7. 60/40 bench if present
8. Windshield if glass is good and frame not rotted
9. Axle shafts (just pull them whole)
10. T-case if it is a transplanted big hole model
11. Twin stick setup
12. Driveshafts

 

overdrive
twin stick transfer
axles especially if power-locked

 

If it's cheap and you have the space for it, grab it! Worry about the details later. You'd be surprised what parts are in demand and hard to find. Especially if it has the original seats.

 

Yeah, my wife asked me what I would do with another one, then told me to get it.

 

Just get it! Parts are always cool!

 

Brian in Fowlerville

He "WANTS" $500. IF you want to check out the frame, I don't want to say good, bad or otherwise...it is north of Gaylord or wait until spring. He says he will part it out but saying it and doing it outside when it's freezing is easier said than done. Windshield is cracked and this is an old hunting camp vehicle. Right now it's in a yard covered in 10 inches of snow. I do not have an extra $500 as I am paying off in two Jeeps now. I could store it and split some parts with you if we wanted to go in together on it.

Said it has split twin stick...how do I know if it is a 64 model V6 I do not know enough to ID anything by eyeball like a T90. I know what a 0-90 speedo looks like

I am a newbie but I already own THREE Jeeps in the last 8 months.

 

Okay help me out....this may not be a 55.

body code is 8305 that I did not take into account

serial # 167210

 

Looks like a December 1963 build date.
