I had 2 Jeeps.. First one was a '51 Willys CJ3A Underpowered but what a cool jeep it was. Sat in a sheep barn for over 30 years before I got it out and cleaned it up. Got it running , built the brakes, Painted it a sharp metallic blue body added a white Meyers cab, bucket seats from an early mustang. Kick myself for ever selling it.. Second one was a '67 CJ5 my dad sold to me. Dauntless V-6 , 3 speed , full Meyers cab. That was the runningest Jeep I have ever seen. I could power shift to second and squack the tires.. Wind 70 in second gear.. I beat a Plymouth Barracuda with a 273 v-8 at every light from Perry Ohio to Painesville Manners. Going to work early in the morning, I took it out of 4 wheel drive because the roads were plowed. Crested a hill and saw the nastiest snowdrift across the road . It got ahold of the Jeep with the plow and spun me around into a ditch and layed in a field on it's side. Clamshelled the Meyers snowplow shut and bent about everything on it.. I was 20 years old at hat time.. That was the demise of my Jeeps. After that switched to High Boy Fords , then Chevy trucks with the last one a 1986 Chevy CUCV diesel pick-up.. Now at nearly 70 years old , I've got an old mans Tacoma 4x4 with a Snow Dogg plow. Memories from a Geezer !!
