Need Bellcrank Bracket or Front Crossmember for CJ3A

Post by 52willyscj3a » Thu Dec 24, 2020 8:23 am

Hi All,

I'm in need of a good steering bellcrank bracket or an entire front crossmember for a CJ3A. An entire cross member to weld in would be preferred. Any help is appreciated.

If nothing materializes here, my go to for original parts is Harry Sheets:

Does anyone know of any other salvage yards that may have some old Jeep frames laying around that or beyond repair?

This is a good idea on your part: Spread the net out further.

When I lived in KS, I scanned for possible places. I found a list posted on Rick Grover's website. It's dated but salvage yards don't disappear that often.

I would suggest scanning neighboring states also and if you've got relatives or friends, search those areas too for potential suppliers and , "let your fingers do the walking!" I made a lot of phone calls to eliminate dead ends and scored some really great parts!

Be sure to scroll down and see the link to another list (also dated but still useful) that Rick added from Arturo Garcia.

Good luck!

I think Stingray has taken care of me. Thanks all for your replies.

Just an FYI, I talked to a gentleman who has a NOS bellcrank mount and is looking into whether or not it will pencil out to manufacture a preproduction mount.
