After several years wallowing in Jeepdom, I'm back in an EB. I bought a 74 half cab tonight and couldn't be much more excited!

It currently has a Ford Blue paint job, half cab, no lift (almost looks slightly lowered), 33x12.50 street tires that'll be good in the sand, Jasper 302, C4, D20, drum brakes (but they're power), power steering.

Immediate plans (after the Jeep is finished and sold) are to replace the half-cab option with a full soft top, LineX the interior, and clean-up wiring and stuff.

Long term plans will be to lift it slightly, install 4.56 gears, install a full roll cage, repaint the body (after minor body work), and add disk brakes at each corner.

EVERYTHING except the fuel gauge works on this thing! I was amazed that even the windshield wiper fluid pump works.

I've been seeing this thing for at least 10 years around Holland and found it for sale by fluke conversations.

Good find, looks very nice. Won't take much to get it in shape.

I see you already put the FORD sign back up on the garage wall.;D

The Ford sign never left the wall because I always knew that I'd end up back in Bronco.

For the record, the oil stain under the Jeep is from the Chevy 5.3 in the Jeep. The hose from the oil pressure sending unit is loose and leaking.
