All are more knowledgeable than I .. I might own more DJ projects than they do however..lol. Anyhow, any flatfender windshield can be bolted to a DJ, but the 3A and 3B style frames are the most common factory frame. A 2A windshield frame with the tubular arms and the flip out split pane glass would not have normally been factory installed. Sure would like to see some pics, and I am sure the guys would like the numbers for the database. -------------------- 59 convertible 15933 needs drivetrain 60 convertible 17052 has a V6 and 4WD 60 Surrey 17509 went thru Katrina and looks it. 60 Surrey 17918 started it all...Toyota axle, BW Wrecked Surrey Tub with fenders and grille 56 tub, from 11826 And a couple parts DJ's with no ID left. All my jeeps are projects....only runner is my DJ with doors..

If you look on page 13 of the Kaiser Wiilys new catalouge, you will see three 2a's and a 3b by Al Appel. By what my other friend told me, I think that Al is around 75 yy. I'm not sure if he want's any attention or not, so I wouldn't give anymore particulres at this time. I do know that he has besides the ones pictured, the dj, plus a 55 or 56 cj5 that looks like showroom. I saw about a half acre of jeeps in the "bone- yard", and according to my other friend, Al has another building with about a half-dozen flat-fenders that are to good to restore, and to good to leave in the bone -yard outside. When my friend Carl took me there, I thought that I had a dream, and woke up in Jeep Heaven!!! At this time, he is restoring an FC150! Sorry, but I cannot reveal the hideout until I check with Al!! -------------------- somedays your the windsheild--somedays your the bug Chuck - Cherryville B.C.
