Jr just bought this '74 Jeep. Has a 304 and a 3speed tranny with a PTO and Ramsey's winch running off the PTO.
Not sure yet what tranny is in it or the axle ratio.
Has a gas tank in the rear and a tank under the drivers seat w/a valve to switch tanks (dual tanks).

Nice thing about being out West=no rust/light surface rust :tongue1:

Sweet Jeep.

That's a very cool find Rollbar. I'm sure there is some kind a web site where you can run the vin# and find what size gears are in it.Maybe take the dif cover off and see if it's marked on the ring gear.

let us know what work will be done on it when the time comes.

I did a quick check and it seem like the tranny is a T15

Here are some pics of the front seat and PTO linkage. Not sure how to work it yet-didn't feel like laying on the ground to take pics but will when we gunk/de-grease the Jeep.

Clean it up and wheel it for now. Then rebuild the motor and go from there. Have to check it out and see what it needs besides a paint job.

I have to admit, I have an addiction. Isn't that the first step to recovery of another Jeep :2thumup:

It is a sweet Jeep-I love the minimal rust factor out West :biggrin1:

I see so many Jeeps and not rust (some surface but). A guy has a old waggy for 500 bucks, needs trans work-excellent shape !

Yes I have an addiction and I don't know how to fix it. :nervous:
