- 74 CJ5 258 I-6, 4 spd T-18, Dana 20 T/C, Dana 30 Front, Dana 44 Rear 4.27:1, still learning everything about this one, 14 JK pretty much stock
So the 74 is almost done and my youngest really wants an older Jeep as his first vehicle. I do have time since he's only turning 12 shortly but wanted to get some input. I found with the intermediates parts can be somewhat hard to find. Couple years newer and you can get everything.
If I'm looking in the 50-60 models (he really wants something in the 40's but that probably isn't going to happen) are there any certain years/models that are going to be easier or harder to get parts for or have problems that I wont want to deal with?
Not really in the market right now since I have some time, but if I happened to run across a deal, would like to know if I might want to shy away from it or think about starting a new project.
Thanks!
