Padding Strips between body and frame 1947 Round Side
That would work too. The stock padding will let the body "Float" on the frame thus dampening noise. The ice and water shield would keep all moisture out. I opted for the factory set-up as I live in So

I replaced all mine with strips from Service motors. They separate the body sheet metal from the frame. Easy to glue on the frame before you attach the body. ......Jim.

I'm not quite sure what your problem is. If you need a bushing to remove the slop, McMaster Carr will have what you need. If it is the button, a CJ2 Jeep is the same part. ...............Jim.

Gas Gauge
After attempting to get my original gas gauge repaired, with no luck. I added a Jeep CJ2 gauge. They are available new, and quite inexpensive. I put mine in a bracket just right of the steering column

Thanks David, I have not attempted to install my tranny yet. The motor is being worked on now. I just found a Sprigit rear end on ebay. I expect some three times the HP out of my motor. I didn't think
