Hi all, I have just purchased a new vehicle and thought I would de-lurk and say hi. Here is what I,ve got: Body: '57 Willys Wagon. It's in great shape. Very little rust ,decent paint and trim. Interior is fairly complete. It is running on: '77 Chevy 3/4 ton 4wd P/U with a Small Block 400. Runs great, drives pretty nice.
I am looking forward to many fun projects and trips with it. I have been out of the auto project loop for a few years and it should be fun to get back into it.
I guess my first question is, do I even qualify to be in a Jeep+Willys newsgroup or club? Even though it is a '57 Wagon which is very cool, will I be shunned for not being "all Jeep/Willys"?
OK, my first serious question is: It came without setbelts(I understand they were an option then). What kind of setbelts could I put in? Can I do shoulder harnesses? Is there anything there to support them? Where would be the best place to get them?(I would like to go with new if I could.) How would I go about mounting them? Can I just bolt them to the floorboard along with the seats?
Thanks for the advice in advance. This looks like a cool group and I look forward to many fun experiences here and on/off the road.
