A project is never done.
Here are the factory correct hooks that I put on the frame horns.Posted Image
And here are two pictures of the engine bay,showing the heater control valve installed, and also a Mid 60's vintage Wix oil filter installed. The "spin on" type oil filter is correct for 1964.

jeepdan, let it get out and get dirty, let it run. It looks sanitary and that is for street rods not jeeps, especially 'trailer queens'.

Dan, what an amazing job you've done; so impressive in fact, the photos encourage me to want to get busy again on my 3B!

Is the trailer sitt'n beside the jeep an MBT or M100; (whichever, it appears to be in great shape as well)? I seem to recall seeing a photo you posted some time back showing the jeep pulling a trailer, but really can't remember if that in fact was yours or another 3B Page member; (both the jeep and the trailer, perhaps a 416, had M 151 Mutt wheels).

Now that I think about the 3B & trailer photo, that may have been Eddie's jeep.

Thanks for the kind comments and the fun jabs over it's sterility.
Admittedly, I had a whole lot more fun with the jeep before the restoration. Driving around our 20 acres of WV hills cutting fire wood, and hunting was a blast with it.
It never ceased to amaze me how it would crawl around the woods loaded down with fire wood, or pull a log.
Ever since the restoration six years ago, it has never been driven on a wet road or caught in the rain.
Heck, it has never been washed with water :rolleyes: , only wiped down from frame to body with dusting rags.
Now that I'm aware of it's rarity as a military 3B, it will always be treated this way as long as I own it.
I have really gotten a preservationist attitude as I have grown older.
I may even will it to a museum someday, although my children would be pretty upset over that.

Say, I was wondering about your oil filter, what happens when you unscrew it? :) Beautiful Jeep by the way. I like it a lot.
Old retired fart living in Ione, WA. I have a 1964 CJ3B. Recently overhauled original motor, transmission and overdrive. 11" Bronco drum brakes on all 4. Needs a new coat of paint but that will have to wait till next summer, it's next summer and I'm working on that now :) UPS & FEDEX will continue to profit :)

Never changed a filter on a Hurricane before but seems like it's in a good position to drain down OK. Left over night even better with couple of rags to catch the drips.

Horizontal mounted filters are the worst...always messy. :(

Outstanding example there Jeepdan. What a beut'

I found this set of hooks on ebay back in February.
According to the seller, he removed them from a 65 jeep commando that he had bought years ago. My winning bid $70.00.
According to the G503 forum, they were used on WW11 MZ-2 radio jeeps, CJV-35, and some marine corp. jeeps.

Oddly enough, according to the G503 forum, the hooks are still manufactured by Holland Hitch, Only the part number cast into them is slightly changed.
The original numbers were; 1257R and 1257L

Very nice indeed! But I think if my 3B ever looks that nice I would still have to drive it! That's what they were made for.
