I like to support people that are great vendors to the Willys comunity. Midwest Willys on the for sale page sells all the Willys manuals and they are long time suppliers of used Jeep parts.

: Thanks again Craig. If I can ask one more
: question, what vendor could I buy a service
: manual off of? Or is it more of an eBay
: item?
:
: Thanks,
: Chris.

: P.s. thank you for the encouragement!!

: Not sure on a spec page off the top of my
: head
: but the service manual has all the facts.
: Always a first buy item when thinking about
: buying or servicing a FC Jeep. All the
: models with the exception of the DRW have
: common available drivetrain parts. Finding
: the good body to work with is always worth
: the extra bucks.
:
: Good luck on your quest!

: Thank you Craig. I have been looking on fc
: connection, is there some where that would
: have specs on them? As in gvw and what not.
: Also on the 170 single wheels, are break
: parts shared with any other models?

: You hit the nail on the head! Other than
: the
: typical rust issues, front brake drums are
: non-existent on the DRW's! Rust areas to
: check out are above the windshield, cowl,
: cab corners, floors, drip rails. No
: replacement body parts are available.
: Everything has to be handmade. There are
: some nice body panel build links on the tech
: page of The FC Connection.
:
: Good luck and try to find the best body you
: can!

: project truck. And I would love to have a
: 170, dually preferred. But when I am looking
: at them, if I find any lol. What are the
: more problematic issues I should look for?
: Typical rust spots?
:
: Also I used to be into old IH trucks, got
: rid of them due to I needed a brake drum,
: and well I found a used one..for 400 bucks.
: So i decided to get rid of the binders lol.
: Are break parts available?
:

: oddfire into. So I want to go back to jeeps,
