Steve-
I just bought a license plate light and an original CJ-5A owner's manual from a guy who has lots of Tuxedo parts, trim, chrome, emblems, etc
Call/text Brian @ 919-637-0616. He has the stuff cleaned up and he ships out fast.
Good luck,
Bill

: Hi guys,
:
: I am not new to Willys, but just bought my
: first FC... it is a '59 FC-170 DRW 4-speed.
: I am very happy to have this FC, I have ben
: searching for a DRW truck for a while. The
: last one to come for sale (within reason)
: was 3 miles from my house, but the ad I
: found was 2 years old and the owner had it
: crushed by the time I called him. Bummer.
: My new truck's pic is attached below (if it
: works)
:
: Some interesting discoveries already:
:
: 1. This is a 4-speed truck and the GVWR on
: the tag (pass seat area) shows 8000 lbs.
: Shouldn't it be 9k?
: 2. The wheels are painted blue like the body
: and appear to be the original paint. I
: thought these were all black or white.
: Most seem to be white.
: 3. My truck is missing the passenger seat,
: so I am in the market for one of those.
:
: I hope to restore this thing as soon as my
: '65 Tuxedo Park CJ-5A is completed, but I
: will probably start tearing this one down in
: advance since the p.o. removed and
: disassembled the motor already.
:
: If the pic doesn't work, you can see my
: project pic and updates here:
