Im new here so just gone right through this thread, really enjoyable, thanks. Any idea what model of Jeep the shackles come from? Im in the UK so they may be easier for me buy them here depending what model they come from.

Thanks for the links, il take a look. Ive just found the engine number and it is TII2, (the 11 looks more like the capital letters ii though) so looks like it could be a 201 or 218. I was hoping it would be a 230. Im only about an hour from Chichester, near a place called Lewes

Hopefully some pictures

Hi, ive recently bought a 1942 1/2 ton civilian truck - im not sure on the model but I think its a WC? Although when I google WC, military vehicles come up? These seem rare, here in the UK. Im not sure whether the engine is a 218 or 230 so that is a job for me, to do to determine what it is initially. The engine is seized so its soaking in acetone and ATF at the moment, im asking for advice on where to get spares (I will have to get them from the US and get them shipped). I would also like to hop the engine up, are there parts available to do this and also what works and what doesn't with them, bigger valves, camshaft etc... I know people who bring containers in from the US so providing I am organised and don't mind waiting the shipping wont be too expensive. Alternatively if anyone has a known good engine they want to sell let me know. Look forward to any response.
