nice

Looks like a nice clean 62. I did the same conversion to my 62 2 years ago...it pays off as the increased mpg's are worth it...DOUBLE the mpg!
How coe you did not pull the engine tranny together? Pull off that rad support and pull it straight out..really alot easier.

Like I said you will really enjoy, the only fault I see so far is the alternator is a little low on amp. for all the accessories. Are you going to run A/C? I was lucky as the bj60 I usd had factory A/C.

Looking good

I am going to pull the core support on the bj.

I took the 62 apart in pieces in order not to damage the truck.

I will be running a/c in the 62. This is a major factor for the conversion.

My 60 doesn't have it.

I have been rolling the bj for about 6 months.

Mpg is always above 20. I love it.

I took your advice and began removing the core support.

Once again, FLORENCE is sleeping on the job.

Hopefully, I'll be able to get the body panels aligned, once the mechanicals have been swapped.

You could use the rad support from the Bj and go Round headlights......

Looks like a great project when they are both lined up

In my book, the squares are where it's at.....

I didn't know that 3bs were that responsive! Excellent build.

Are you going to keep it standard? If so, are you going to swap out the entire pedal bucket?

Yeah, I am swapping the pedal bucket, flanges, drive shafts, xfer, tranny, motor, gas tank, radiator etc.


Thanks Orangefj45 for the write up:

X2 on the "snappy" 3b, I wish my "hotroded" 2f was that snappy...

3B's are pretty torquey on the bottom. They propel the truck pretty easy, but its the top end on long hill and highway where it runs out of steam.

update......




I went ahead and removed the carpet and front seats.

 

[cruiserjunktion]

Removed the hood and engine today.


Looks like the truck had a lift kit installed......



Gained another 2 inches w/o the 3fe.

It is time to detail the engine compartment and under the truck.

Here are the "BEFORE" pictures
