1951 U.S.N CJ3A

Post by S.henderson » Tue Jan 31, 2017 10:07 am

Where to even begin!? Well for starters my names Scott and I've recently purchased what I thought to be a regular 'ol 3A turns out its a veteran! Recently started the archeology project of chipping away the trillion and a half year old 50 shades of paint. Ha! On that note as expected gray was encountered but when I accidently chipped too far O.D GREEN WITH BLACK STENCILING!!! I was extremely excited to say the least, I mean a 1951 NAVY 3A originally painted O.D with the stenciling? Never heard of such a thing. This thing just gets more and more confusing to me and I love it. 8) but id really like to know what this JEEP was used for.. sorry about the crap pictures.. my phone takes huge pics and I've had to crop and edit a ton just to get them to upload. I'll figure it out soon.
