One combat rim, seats ? tool box lids? GPW motor, Willys head, T84 trans, axels, etc.

Jeep had a CA ID# assigned when I bought it 36 years ago because we didn't know where to look on frame and data plates were missing. Located in Northern Calif. I'm not sure if anything is salvagable, lot of heat as you can see

I wonder was it a wiring issue fire.

I use one of those little screw in wheel isolators on the negative to disconnect the battery when the jeep is not in use and as an anti - theft thing when I am out and about and have to leave the jeep out if sight.

Not expensive and gives a degree of protection.
