CJ-3A Photos
1950 CJ-3A Willys Jeep - This old jeep was used as a tractor by my uncle Ben on his 85 acre farm near Gainesville Florida. He taught me how to drive stick in the florida back trails in 4 low...not too easy when your 12 and only driven go-karts and 4 wheelers. A few years later my uncle Ben and I made plans on restoring an old car or truck as a fun hobby, but we never got a chance to when he suddenly passed away. In remembrance of him I bought the Jeep from my widowed Aunt for 100 dollars and decided to live out the idea of restoring an old piece of history. It has the original 134L-head, axels, dana 18 transfer case, new T90 3 speed, new body and paint. I bought the jeep at the age of 17 and have been restoring it for four years. The body was unrestorable, in fact I fell through the back floor board when I brought it home. I\'m currently in college earning a degree in Emergency medical services, which takes up most of my time, but I still continue to tinker with the project and keep it running. Im an EMT lifeguard for pinellas county beach patrol and drive the jeep to work as many times as I can. I hope you can put the pictures of my project on your list as willys of the week. I know it would mean a lot to me, and Im sure my aunt would love to see it up on your site. Sincerely, John Sleppy

This 1951 CJ3A Willys jeep belonged to my father, was initially bought for farming purposes in the small town of Moca, PR. During the period 1996-1998 I restored the willys to maintain its original parts including a L-Head 134 engine, canvas top,wheels, original rims and the front and back original seat frames.

This is my 1952 CJ3A agra Jeep. We are a Jeep family with two Wranglers a Cherokee and the old 52 I told the Kids that I would get them each a Jeep so that we, as a family, could work on them so that when they got their license to drive they could drive a dependable safe vehicle. Now my 17 year old daughter has her Wrangler and she can tune it and fix whatever may need fixing. Now my 14 year old son and I are working on his Cherokee that we got from my brother. The old 52 is patiently waiting her turn. It is due for a new tub and a ground up total restoration. I am looking forward to my wife and I trail riding in the Ozarks.

I would love to see pics of customer Jeep projects. Great way to get ideas for mine. I am currently restoring a 1948 CJ-3A. It's kind of a Franken-Jeep because it has a 1947 CJ-2A frame and a CJ-3A body with a military windshield but I love it just the same. I purchased a full suspension kit for it last summer and have completed the install. I'm looking at breaks and electrical now as well as some body work I need to do. I will be ordering more parts this Spring. I've uploaded two pics of mine the day I received it and a painting my Dad painted of it for me. -Kevin Krajewski Holly, Michigan

Here some pictures of my 1950 Willys Jeep, it has been in my family since 1950! This is a very special Willys. My Grandfather bought this Willys when it was new in 1950. My Dad learned to drive stick-shift on it, he would pick up my Mom in it when they were dating. Years later it became a "grove" jeep, that's why it has "King Groves" on the side of it. My Dad used it to drive around our orange grove and check on the sprinklers, and do grove work. My Dad taught me how to use 4-wheel drive in the grove with this very jeep when I was 16. I am 46 now - my grandfather died before I could meet him. My Dad now has Parkinsons with dementia and is in a nursing home. This Willys is now mine, and I cherish it! My son is 23, and it will be his someday, and then he will pass it down to his son, who is 9 months old. Thank you for letting me tell my story! Sincerely, Kindra Beck

Hi all;
I have submitted photos of my CJ3A twice. One time in Nov and again over a week ago. I was wondering if something was wrong? because I have not seen them on your post.
