Catchkumar , can you post the pics of the leaf springs, head light domes inside the engine bay pics.

Slightly OT , attaching a pic of Narayan Reddy from the famed Bharath motors . This Gentleman rebuilds atleast 2 to 3 hurricanes and Go devil engines per month and is Considered the best among the JEEP collectors and offroaders .

@Kumar hope this helps. I found some info on the net. Jeep Guru's please see and confirm if this info is relevant here. The Early (Short 81 inch wheel base) CJ-5 was manufactured from 1954 through 1971. Identifying features include: Engines: 1955-1971 – 72hp Hurricane F-head 134 cubic inch I-4 1961-1965 – 62hp Perkins 192 cubic inch diesel 1966-1971 – 160hp 225 cubic inch Dauntless V6 Fuel tank was located under the drivers seat with the fuel-fill on the side just behind the drivers door opening. This was moved to the rear of the Jeep sometime in 1970 to comply with federal regulations that fuel tanks could not be in the passenger compartment. Short hood and front fenders. The fender makes a triangle with the cowl. Snorkel cut-out on passenger side of hood before 1965 Faux battery box cover on passenger side cowl, 1955-1965 Ross steering box (mounted on the frame behind the front axle, Saginaw steering boxes are mounted on the front of the frame in front of the axle on the left hand side) Dana Model 18 transfer case (4 cylinder with dual lever through 1966(?), V6 with single lever shift). Twin sticks can be retrofitted to a single stick transfer case.

A two-piece rear axle has an axle shaft and a hub that slides over the tapered outer end of the shaft and is secured with a nut. To determine which it is, if the axle is rounded on the end (dust cap) it’s a two-piece, if it’s flat it’s flanged. Three speed transmission T-90 or four speed T-98 (rare) for F-head, T-86 and later T-14, or T-18 (even rarer than the T98) used in V6 models Narrow windshield frame with fold-down latches, wipers mounted on top through ’68, on bottom from ’69 on, the hinges are two piece and come apart for easy windshield removal.

1) I assume Bharat motors is in Hyderabad? Or am I wrong - bangy?

2) Lovely location, where is this place.

Mods - Can we rename this thread to 'The CJ5 Thread' - no such thread exists and this is one model less spoken about in Tbhp 4x4 section.

[Jaggu]

Yup Bharath Motors is one of the well know garage in Hyderabad. Frank's CJ was also done up there if am not mistaken.

[catchkumar]

Here are some picture references & old Jeep brochures i have collected from different sources.
The Jeep CJ3A with headlights projected out looks very similar to my Jeep & yes its a low bonnet of course my was an open top & these were called dispatchers.
Its ver interesting to see the catching ads. of these jeeps & IMO they were really well marketed :-)

Thanks Madhu for all the dig-up & consolidation of data.
I agree with SV - Mods please change the thread name given the low source of info on these Jeeps in our forum.

Regards,
Kumar

[catchkumar]

This is what i just found out on an original M38A1 & As Fazal sir has mentioned the Jeep he posted up here is for sure an original.

Apologies for my lack of knowledge & as i mentioned earlier am still learning the ropes.
One more learning - a CJ5 & a M38A1 though looks similar have a lot of differences & this is one of it.
So the glove box is in the right place :-)

[fazalaliadil]

Kumar,
We all are learning, by the day.
Note the wide mouth filler cap and on the opposite side the power outlet recess.

Hi Santosh, Jaggu is right , its bharath motors in Hyderabad. The location is Srisailam ghats when we went for one of our fishing trips.

Catch kumar , the M38A1 aka willys MD was the military version of the CJ5 and is called the Pakistani in Hyderabad since they were captured by the Indian army during the war. The M38 A1 has a 24 volts electrical system .

[catchkumar]

Sudarshan, you are the Man! Wow what a mine of information. Thanks a lot for sharing this info.

[svsantosh]

The LARGE odo meter shows the OIL Preassure upto 9Bar (If I read it correct) - where is the speedo gauge?

[Frankenstein]

Santosh, the 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 is nothing but the speedo , it reads 90 miles max.

The oil pressure is indicated just by the light. I have some pics of well restored cjs of my friends from Hyderabad. Will post if people are interested here.
