Hey all. Have a 48 CJ2A my dad got in early 50s. Hasn’t been cranked over since 91 and no real miles since 75. I am in to a full frame off rebuild as the tub up front is in really bad condition. Most likely will send in the carb to get rebuilt but will decide down the road. If I can feel comfortable to tackle the rebuild after getting up to speed then I have that option when needed.
Always enjoy Scoutpilots info.
Just curious how you picked the name.
Bitz

Welcome, Bitz. If you need any help at all, we're here to help you. Ask any question because the really dumb question is the one you didn't ask. My handle comes from the fact that I flew OH-6A's in Vietnam as a Scout Pilot with "C" Troop, 16th Air Cavalry. We were known as the "Outcasts". To learn more, get the book, "Low Level Hell" by Hugh Mills.

Thanks for your service. I flew phantoms but to young for VN. I did a lot of the systems integration for the AF special ops MH53 ENS at spent 3 yrs as a tech rep in the UK with 21 SOS. Never deployed in a war while in AF but ended up at Desert Storm with unit. Have a special love of helos in general. Read lots of books about army guys in nam. Glad you are running this site

I flew phantoms but to young for VN. Bitz Fighter Pilot, by Robin Olds is a must read, especially the chapter detailing "Bolo".
