Worldwide vintage autos is pleased to present this 1946 willy's cj2a. History the lessons learned with the cj-2 led to the development of the first full-production cj, the 1945-1949 willys-overland cj-2a. The cj-2a looked very much like a civilianized mb with a tailgate and side-mounted spare tire. One major difference between the mb and the cj-2a was the grilles of the two vehicles. The mb had recessed headlights and nine-slot grilles while the cj2a had larger headlights flush-mounted in a seven-slot grille. In place of the mb's t-84 transmission, the cj-2a was equipped with the beefier t-90 three-speed transmission. The cj-2a was still powered by the reliable l-134 go-devil engine. Many of the early cj-2as were produced using surplus military jeep parts such as engine blocks and, in a few cases, modified frames. Some of the use of surplus parts was due to strikes at suppliers such as autolite. Since willys produced few parts in-house and relied heavily on suppliers, it was vulnerable to strikes. Unfortunately for willys, strikes were common postwar. This undoubtedly contributed to low production totals in 1945 and early 1946. Since the cj-2a was primarily intended for farming, ranching, and industrial applications, a wide variety of extras were available such as: rear seat, center rear-view mirror(stock cj-2as came with only a driver side mirror), front passenger seat (stock cj-2as only came with a driver seat), canvas top, front pto, rear pto, belt pulley drive, capstan winch, governor, rear hydraulic lift, snow plow, welder, generator,[6] mower, disc, front bumper weight, heavy-duty springs, dual vacuum windshield wipers (stock cj-2as were equipped with a manual wiper on the passenger side and a vacuum wiper on the driver side), dual taillights (stock cj-2as had a taillight on the driver side and a reflector on the passenger side), hot-climate radiator, driveshaft guards, heater, side steps, and radiator brush guard.
