Extra parts.
The guy that had the jeep since 1981 and had over time converted the jeep to 12 volt and had stripped off some of the original pieces but after scrounging around the yard he came up with these parts.Am I glad he kept them as it saves me looking and costing more for the restoration.I am not sure the generator is from the jeep?It is an AC Delco generator but I don't know alot about what was original to the Ford jeep.I bought 4 combat rims yesterday and today picked up a better hood,original rear springs as he put in car springs because the original ones broke,a Ford rear drive shaft as I was told my jeep had an MB driveshaft.I also was given a right hand lower windshield frame arm to convert it back from the tie rod ends he welded to fix the broken arms.I have to find the left lower arm from a parts donor frame to restore it back to original.
