OMG Should I restore this? And another Cj-7 as well.
Your are very welcome, enjoy your new Jeep. I am looking at a 1959 FC 170 so you guys can help me spend my money!!!!![]()
Congrats Pete! Your back in the game!
As for the oil pressure, the Scrambler had the same problem so I just popped in another oil pump. I have gone about 75 or so miles since then an only had a small drop in pressure. Might want to try that first.![]()
looking forward to this weekend's report![]()
Naw - I have put about 2K miles on it so far.If you wouldve said FC AMC 150 I may have let you off the hook. But you have metal working skills ( which without seeing it I still think youll need) and the longer wheelbase makes it too
to pass up
75 miles? Jeez drive that puppy more.Point taken though. Once I get it here and can go over it a bit more alot of decisions will be made. I just didnt think it would be right to let this go to a 16 yr old kid to beat up at $1500.
At the very worst I'll find someone who needs the special pieces for their restoration and use this as a build platform for my trail rig. There will be alot of thinking going on here pretty soon.![]()
What is this 'other half' you all so much speak of?Congrats Pete...look at the bright side, most of us would have to beg and deal with the other half to bring home another no matter how great a deal it was...or store it somewhere else...no that I have done that...![]()
Just like only differentWhat is this 'other half' you all so much speak of?Is it like the mythical 'snow' you all speak about?

After a bit once I hit about 50 miles on a trip the oil pressure would drp to 5 psi or so. I replaced the oil pump and so far I have made a few 75 mile trip and the oil pressure has only dropped about 5 psi from the start and run pressure of 45 psi or so...![]()

Pete, forgive me if you have answered this before or just don't think it an appropriate question but why not just teach Vick o drive a stick? If it is a physical limitation I more than understand.... (says the man who can't open a soda bottle sometimes~~~She still wants me to get another one. An auto so she can drive as well. ~~~
