Well, with the way parts get switched out on these old jeeps, its not really a surprise that it would have a different hood by now. I think mine was a radio jeep as it has extra springs on the back, and holes for where the radio gear cables would go...Just a guess on my part, as I have no idea for sure....Most of the history on my jeep before it came to Cornell Univ is a mystery to me...but its fun trying to solve it from the clues left! :D

Really nice to meet you, and glad we both have the same love of these old critters!!

Have a good day!!

A pic from a car show a while back. Neat little gun the other A1 has on it, ain't it? I'll bet that keeps folks from tailgating....Lol!

Chris, every though its "pink" and not OD Green, I know it still has to be a ball to drive around town, you just need to get it done for your "very understanding" wife!!!! :D

Coral, salmon, pink. Its all the same to me!! :D
Completely original, only 23K miles on that pink jeep. Pretty rare I hear.

My wife loves it, so its all good. And Bruce, my wife is ABSOLUTELY the most understanding woman I know!! Or else she would have thrown me and my jeeps out long long long ago!!! :D

Hahaha!!!

He's off to a good start, bet he's counting the years until he get a licence. Does he know how to turn off the light switch?

Nice Jeep 8) What tail lights are you using to have blinkers :?: If you want to have a full red lens (definitely a safety upgrade) and still use original early M series light buckets, install a pair of M561 gamma goat lenses.

I recently bought a set of those lights! Great minds think alike huh???? :wink:

The tail lights on it at the moment are the ones Cornell Univ put on it. They are twelve volt and have turn signal capability.

One of these days I will install the full lens version and make it look a bit more original.


Thanks again,

Chris

Neat idea with the rear license plate holder too! Sure beats my two zip ties method!! :D :D


I may have to rig up something similar! Very cool!

And no Aedan has not learned how to use the light switch yet. Although, Cornell converted it over to a regular light switch. The military one is still there, but just for show...
