WW 2 Jeeps

[Ken Cutmore]

Hello John:

Thanks for your reply and how are things?

I am in Florida and thought I might get over to Kissimmee to see the FSSF fellows if they put together a reunion this year. On that subject, I'm looking for an FSSF combat uniform.......... any leads?

On the Jeep thing, I should have specified Willys......... it's a 1942 CDLV 505 that was restored in the 1980's, but with modern day fasteners. I'm looking for old style "tall head" or "high hex", USS and SAE types, 1/4", 5/16" and 3/8". I'll rework whatever I can get with hacksaw, taps, dies, etc.

From Ron Fitzpatrick's website, I have the fastener chart put together by Claude Pons .....great!....... lists every nut, bolt, washer, head style, thread, diameter, length, quantity, marking (Ford), etc.............. his site is definitely the reference Bible for Jeeps.

It's in the shop being painted and if I can round up these pieces, it should be running this summer.

Hope things are well.
