Got around to pricing new rubber restoration parts for my 52 Willys Overland 4x4 pickiup truck. All the bits and pieces for new window and door rubber parts is between 6 and 8 hundred bucks. I have to plant, grow. pick and shell and sell a ton of pinkeye purple hull peas just to buy new rubber parts for my jeep restoration.

| Seems like the restoration business has exploded with parts available and prices to match. Shouldn’t complain much I suppose as we can restore more vehicles and machines than before and suppliers should be able to make a living also. |

Ken, please post pictures of your Jeep pickup. My dad had a 1963 Willys Jeep pickup. It was one of the first four wheel drive vehicles around here. It had a six cylinder overhead cam engine with hemi pistons and a Holley carburetor. I drove it for a couple years during college when the roads were bad. Mom got rid of it after dad passed away. Supposedly it ended up going to California to a restoration person. I never got any contact information though.

| I got my restoration rubber parts from rubber the right way. They were pretty fair priced and the few parts I bought fit very well. |

There's a guy in Toledo OH that supposedly has any Jeep parts you need. Did you go to any of the Jeep forums and look for vendors? There are a lot of them out there. ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

If you wanted to build a year old truck, it'd probably cost you about $200,000 in parts. Nothing is cheap anymore.... ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |
