Hello,
I am new to the site. Look forward to chatting with you all. Looks like the Site has some great info on it.
I have a 1947 willys and I just bought a solid 1977 CJ5 that the tub is apart and off the chassis with a 390 and 3 speed. We love driving the willys but as you know it is not the best for long drives. I have been thinking about trying to put the willys body on the CJ5 chassis then selling the old willys chassis and the CJ5 body.
Any ideas on this? Assuming I have done full frame offs before. How hard is all the fitment going to be? Just bolt it together or worst idea ever?
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
Greg
