Hello dear friends, Getting backto the forum after a long time and still in pursuit to get a dj home, have many doubts creeping up. The list goes as follows and well may be added up with new queries as I end up retoring the same. 1.Did the 1964 standard dj 3a come with wheel caps?if sowhat were they marked like. 2. Top bow design - would it be similar to the cj3a ? 3.Front seat design on a rhd dj3a.60:40 seat distribution. 4.Attachment of the front seats to the floor:hinge design. 5.any reflectors on the rear in addition to the HALL type of lens? think its too much for now. waiting for guidance. regards |

Not to worry. Here's some Quick Answers 1.Did the 1964 standard dj 3a come with wheel caps?if sowhat were they marked like. DJ standard hub caps were a small 10 inch dog dish type hubcap with a raised W. See http://m.ebay.com/itm/111671713008 2. Top bow design - would it be similar to the cj3a ? Not exactly sure but probable? 3.Front seat design on a rhd dj3a.60:40 seat distribution. The seat configuration is reversed from a left hand drive. The widest seat stays under the steering wheel. The smaller fold and tumble seat goes on the passenger side. All mounting hole configurations and brackets are reversed 4.Attachment of the front seats to the floor:hinge design. Some information here but it's kinda hard to sort through. http://z4.invisionfree.com/CJ3B_Bulletin_B...?showtopic=5487 5.any reflectors on the rear in addition to the HALL type of lens? Extra reflectors were not standard on the back of DJ's If you'll PM me your email address I can send more pictures of a special ordered right hand drive DJ that was built here in the states. Also can perhaps send better pictures of the seat mounting brackets Charles Tate |

In addition to what Charles said (He's dead on correct).. The top bow design depends on which top configuration was ordered. If it had the standard 3A style top, you'd have brackets on the tub for the bows to slide into. The back ones would be the typical vertical tube in a welded on bracket, and the forward bow would be in a socket on top of the wheelwell, right behind the front seats, and right at the edge of the tub lip. This would normally be on a DJ with the standard height windshield, similar to the 3A one. If the jeep was hardtop equipped...I don't believe there would be any top bow brackets installed. It would also have a hardtop only windshield , non folding and built into the cowl assembly (It is removable) If it was a Convertible version.....it would have a hinged top bow...with a smaller bow hinged to it. It would used the low windshield, which looks like a CJ3B one.(there are differences.) It is really rare to see one of those. Charles has much more info on the convertible top and there is a large discussion about the convertible model. The Surrey had a special top. (Not a standard DJ by any means..) I think.....but am not certain, that some factory artists renditions show a single taillight and a reflector on the other side of the jeep.. but I might be thinking earlier jeeps. By 64 I would thing 2 tail lights would have been standard, even for export. With the DJ3A they were often built differently, according to the customers needs, or as Willys was using up other parts....so "standard DJ3a" is a vague term. We'd all love to see some pictures when you get the chance! |

Thanks for the prompt reply Charles and Bill. The mydeeperon the wheel caps deepens as by 1964 dj s were supposed to have been made by Kaiser corp. would they still carry the W marked caps? I have mailed my email add. Charles,would love to see more pictuses of dj3a. Bill , the dj I'm looking at here is the one with the task gate and the windshield similar to the cj3a. could I get more information on the sole seat configuration and mounting design. thanks for all the help. regards. |

Thanks BILL for adding more information about the top. You did a much better job there than I could have done. DCWHEELS, I sent you a bunch of pictures of a special ordered Right Hand Drive DJ that was built here in the States with a automatic transmission. I hope some of them will help. Later today I'll both send and post here pictures of a rusty 1963 fold and tumble seat. There's no cover or padding on it but I should get really good details of its construction Charles |
