Holie fuck,

Factory these were a flat head screw with a nut on the back, it’s not even a nut really. The only rivets on this jeep are parts of the frame,

After driving the old girl more, it’s badly in need of a transmission rebuild. Once it’s warm 2nd gear is gone and is a real bitch to get into.

So I jumped into it and quickly realized at some point someone swapped a T90 in it. The war jeeps all came with T84’s.

Over the last two weeks, I’ve located all the parts to build a T84. Back where I grew up in Ohio, I local guy named Phil Nelson, has been buying and selling WW2 jeeps for the last 40 years.

I contacted his son Scottt who’s now running the family business, as luck would have it, they had a NOS Ford Script Case still in stock, Ford only offered F stamped transmission very early on in production. Needless to say it’s on the way, along with every part to build a T84 transmission

Have I ever built a transmission? No, but if the 18 year olds back in the day could do it. Well maybe I can…

I’m even found a slightly used floor plate to get it back to original on the floor

Finally got home from traveling and opened up a freshly new 1941 Ford T84 transmission case

Crazy it still has the wax paper on it.

Granted its metal it does show to quality of how things used to be made.

Yes sir, it wasn’t exactly the cheapest way to build a T84. But I don’t suspect there’s very many of these still out there.

I researched the numbers. The tub is March, February 1943 built by ACM (American Central Manufacturing). It’s a type 1, basically first version built for Willy’s.

The Ford motor dates in to February of 1944. It’s a war time block and head. I also found out it has a Ford Transfercase. (War time ).

The Frame and original Jeep would have rolled off the line February on 1942.
