Sorry to hear about your van, thank goodness you weren't in it. If you were in Port, I could have the Auto shop look at it.
I go away for a few days and the students go into spped mode. The cab, bed, rims and tool box are now sanded and primed and back at the school. A new flywheel has been ordered, again thank you Youngs Automotive (now we are just waiting to get it and put it on). Once it is on then we can put the body back on. In the mean time the students have painted the rim lug nuts red and primed some of the smaller parts that go into the cab. A new exhaust has been put on today as well. The overflow tank has been removed from the 2nd CMP so that we can see what shape it is in. A retired autobody guy is also coming in to see what needs to still be done to the cab and then show the students how to do it. Flex oil lines have been installed and the gas tanks are being sanded down so that they can be repainted. Speaking of repainting..the colour that we are wanting to use SCC No.2, do you think it is similiar to the brown that UPS uses?? Just a thought. The last picture I downloaded, can anyone tell me what it is??

bracket id
Hi Joel,
re the last picture - it's a mounting bracket for a set of 2 truck safety reflectors / flags. It's postwar civilian, probably used into the 1970's and later. A Google image search found this: http://thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/m/mtm2...5t_yIA/140.jpg HTH Brian

Oil line plumbing
Looking good, just a concern on the filter flex oil line routing so close to the exhaust, you may want to re-visit it.
The flex hose material will harden and crack with exposure to high heat, 1000 plus F. Potential for oil fed fire. Walde

I will check with the Auto Teacher tomorrow about the oil line. Another busy day, the seats are installed (four seats into two). The 2nd CMP tires are for now so that we can move the CMP to be cleaned and undercoated. Gas tanks are sanded so that they can be painted and a steering column brace has been installed as well.
Hey does anyone know what the little rectanglar hole in the steering column is with wires hanging out. Oh, another painful point is that we have yet to find a flywheel gear ring (139 teeth). NAPA Online (in the US) says they have one but the two stores I contacted (one Canada the other US) say that they can get the part. It is fustrating. Oh and NAPA Online won't let you order from Canada. AHHHHH  The last picture is the 2nd CMP engine which has the flywheel that is bigger, 169 teeth I believe.

Your second engine is a 235 from 1953 and newer.

"Hey does anyone know what the little rectanglar hole in the steering column is with wires hanging out? "
It's the horn ring contact point. You can get a replacement plate from any jeep parts supplier.

We decided to take a chance. We tack welded the busted gear ring and then heated it up and placed it on the flywheel. Then spent over an hour filing any rough spots and making sure where the brake was that the gap between teeth was not any bigger.
It is now installed...we just need to put the clutch plate back in and the transmission. Then we will see if the engine cranks over.
