I have a few odds and ends kicking around from when I had my 77 t/a. New front springs, interior peices, etc. Free to a good home if you want them.

On hiway 63 to fort mac, about 2.5 hrs north of edmonton. I do get down to edmonton and red deer once in a while though. Actually might be coming to Calgary area to look at an old jeep in the next week or two.

Haha yeah Dave its Fury 2, I bought it from my cousin back when I was 14. We then put a 440 in where the 318 was and swapped the 2.94's for 3.23 sure grip. Put a 284/.484 mopar cam in it a mallory highfire ignition, rebuilt thermoquad and a better set of heads with headers and a flowmaster exhaust.
Went pretty good till I blew the front seal out of the tranny 2 years ago showing off, its sat on the driveway since....

Fred, what year of 440 did you have? I used to have four of them. At one time that all thats the only engine that I drove. For a period of time the 67 440 was the engine to get, thats before all of the aftermarket stuff came out. Front seal for a 727 is easy fix in a 2wd. You can have that tranny out in 1/2hr. The older cars are alot easier to work on than these darn trucks. How solid is the charger R/T? Is it original. Lots of clone cars floating around. I wanted to go to the Barrett Jackson action this year.

northernwheeler, What year of jeep you looking for? My neighbor as a mid's 80 jeep for sale and its pretty solid for a jeep. I think it comes with a soft top. He just painted it last year and but new front fender on it.

Thats the fun part of the resto. The sanding and painting part takes too long for me.

Mike - I have a 71 CJ5 i am looking for parts for, actually pretty much everything. Turns out the one in Calgary is a '73. Guy thought is was a 70. Pretty much everything is different except for the tub. Glad I found out for sure before driving all the way and finding it was the wrong year. Oh well, the search continues......

Could be interested in an 80's jeep, depending on price I suppose. What model and drivetrain??
