I've moved 2 CCKW (one from WA to PA, the other from FL to PA) and NEVER paid more than $1.25 per mile.. DOOR TO DOOR, loading, insurance etc.
What are you telling them that gets you a $3.50 quote? I just moved my last CCKW (non runner) from Ft Lauderdale FL to Gordon PA.. 1200 miles, for...
RE: Re: RE: Share a load GI?
In Dec 2007 i paid $1500 for a CCKW hauled from Ft. Lauderdale FL to Gordon PA on a custom rollback. Door to Door, and the thing didn't run or even have air in the tires.
Thats 1200+ miles for slightly over a buck a mile.
Everybody quotes $2-3 a mile, I have...
There has to be some specific things that NEED to look right.
General stuff like puddles under the truck, wet/weep marks on brake backing plates, around seals etc.. thats the easy stuff.
My main concern are the injector pump (expensive fuel dodad I've head about) and turbo.
I know you can't...
Annville (Ft. Indiantown Gap) is like 20 miles from my house.
GL shows a lot of nice M35s.

The seats look good. There are 4 different bodies (Ford, Willys, ACM I & II IIRC) and there is a chart that shows the characteristics of each 'model'. Depending on year you *should* have a certain one. A production 45 would have ACM II. Basically the bodies went from vendor specific to...
RE: jeep diagnosis
Motor looks good... right air filter, regulator, oil filter, carb looks wrong (might be a Solex, popular replacement to the origial carb).
You are missing a piece that goes from the air filter (big black thing on the firewall) to the carb. Thats bad... engine using...
Nothing I said mentioned modifying the original anything. I said running ONLY a by-pass filter is not good, for the reasons I stated.
TP filters are DEPTH filters. The oil runs DOWN the length of them. Regular oil filters push oil through the 'flat side'. Regular oil filters need that...
From the pics it IS NOT a FORD. Its a Willys MB. See the tool box lids and key locks? The lids are flat and the indets around the locks are round = WILLYS MB. So if you are looking to collect you got a mix-master.
Couple of warnings: Several pics show rust UNDER the paint. Plus the rear...
