Looks like an early ‘6os Dodge steering wheel, but, then, they’re not exactly the only ones to use a 3-spoke.

May be a CJ-2a. I can’t say for certain, but the battery tray looks right as well as the piece near the back that is wider than the rest of the frame. The Dana 44 wouldn’t have been stock but may have been swapped in.

Yeah, if I’m reading the number on that steering box right (T125996?), Google’s suggesting that it’s a Willys.

You should be able run the Ross steering box’s numbers to get some idea of what it is. If the box hasn’t been swapped at some point over the years.

I tried doing that but couldn’t make out enough of the characters on my phone.

Nah. It’s definitely more of a “Rusty”.

LOL yeah there was some trial-and-error involved. Could’ve sworn I saw an “8".

Came here to say Willys Jeep. Leaf springs up front, steering wheel, and that one steelie give it away pretty well. Also that rear bumper, if you could call it that.

There’s a handful of military Jeeps around that have similar looks.
