I finally got a few pics of the Belleview winch on my truck. Sorry the pic quality isn't the best. Having focus issues on my phone.66stepside wrote:Whoa.

Thanks!
I mocked up the stock bumper, roughly 9 1/2 inches from the forward tip of the grill support. But I'm not digging it. So back to stock for now.

I like that look. There's something about the period correct look that I dig. Is that company still around?twisted frame wrote:I finally got a few pics of the Belleview winch on my truck.

I believe Warn bought Belview and used their design which eventually progressed into the 8264 we know and love today.66stepside wrote:

^Yup, you know it! Good article here: https://www.warn.com/blog/2013/04/10/th ... inch.shtmltedlovesjeeps71 wrote:I believe Warn bought Belview and used their design which eventually progressed into the 8264 we know and love today.66stepside wrote:

Yup! I remember reading the ad in the local (now out of business) want ad weekly. It was listed under Miscellaneous Trucks as an AMC. Then I saw "winch" and had to check it out.66stepside wrote:That's even cooler! That's some great history there. That came with your jeep?
What's that finned box shaped thing in the second pic?

It's kind of interesting to see some of the more effective mods PO's do to the rigs. Maybe a dual battery relay?twisted frame wrote:Yup!

The finned 3-post box is some kind of electrical junction block. By the time I got the truck there was just one wire attached to it which went to nowhere. A lot of the old, added-on electrical stuff had been removed. I'm the third owner and the PO told me the original guy did all the stuff to the truck and that it had a bed-mounted camper with all sorts of gear in it. The story added up when I noticed not only the missing tailgate but the shaved tailgate latches and missing strikers, a labeled fill hole for fresh water, and remnants of a home-brewed rear bumper spare tire holder with dash-wired warning light that lit up if the plunger near the spare mount was exposed if the tire mount was unlatched.

Hahaha, I wouldn't know much about the eras. What ever it used to be is mostly returned to nature. He had plenty of cool stuff, but I wasn't interested in most of it. Secretly, though, I was hoping that board was autographed by Peralta! Hahaha.twisted frame wrote:My best guess on that skateboard is 1990-1996-ish, based on the small wheels and those trucks, although the board itself looks like it was cut out of regular ol' plywood...I doubt it's from Powell or Vision!
I was kinda hoping it was one of the lost children. CJ-8 Scrambler postals have kind of a cult following.66stepside wrote:tedlovesjeeps71 wrote:You should have looked to see if the rest of that postal top was around (blue CJ parts)

I think the whole body was there- hood, grill, and both fenders. The top looked like it was there?

Dang! Sadly I remember those skates and boards., too. Those Alaskan Postals are on my list of top 3 jeeps. Super cool. They pop up every now and again in this area- but are pricey for sure.tedlovesjeeps71 wrote:I was kinda hoping it was one of the lost children.

And these were "Rollerblades"...

Awesome Sears catalog page! Wow, I remember drooling over those catalogs at my grandma's.tedlovesjeeps71 wrote:And is it bad I remember these being skateboards?
Ok, I'm convinced WA buyers really dug the grey-olive-slightly-metallic color of the Kaiser era. My old 77 Cherokee was repainted this color by the guy I bought it from and it's one of the shades I've considered for when I repaint my J4000.66stepside wrote:
1963 1414C. After it was unloaded, we shot the breeze for nearly an hour. Apparently it's a one owner jeep, with legal documents to have it titled, so it all holds out I'll be the second owner. Hasn't ran since 86. 230, manual floor shift, 4 speed- maybe. I haven't had s chance to go through it yet.
