Shad Gunderman sent me some pictures of his sweet purple 1956 CJ6.  Shad writes:

Although I didn’t build it myself, there is still a story behind it.  My father bought a new CJ6 in 1967.  In 1988, it was my first car.  After driving it for a couple years (I am surprisied it lasted that long) I gave it back to my father and moved on.  He kept it for years, then ended up selling it (knowing I wanted it).  I turned around and bought the purple one.  He in turn bought a CJ7 crawler (it’s in one of the pictures).  Mine had a 4.3L V6, Chrysler 904, Dana 300 w/twin stick and 4:1, Dana 44’s, 37” Boggers on Welds.  I get so many comments on the street and trails, people always ask how long I stretched my Jeep…..none.  It is nice to see other avid CJ6 fans out there.  Go ahead and spread the pictures around, I am proud of my Jeep.

   What a great looking 6!! I just brought a 1964 CJ6 and will this summer start to work on it.  See in the pictures of Shad Gunderman’s 6 that he has nerf bars and corner armor.  Since the 6 is longer are these parts handmade or is there someone out there that makes these for the 6’s?  This is the first I have seen this site and you can bet I’ll be back often.  I already e-mailed Michael about help on a 4.3L engine swap.  Any help from you folks that have played with 6’s would be appreciated. My 14 yr old son is going to help so that he can have it when he’s 16 and driving.  So I have 2 yrs to finish.  Look forward to hearing from you folks.  Scott Vetter
