Interior Parts & Dashboard Hardware for Willys Jeep CJ3B
Seat Belt, Shift Knob & Steering Wheel for an Authentic Driving Feel (1953–1964).
Why the Interior of a Willys CJ3B Needs Renewal After Decades.
The interior of a Willys CJ3B has inevitably suffered over the decades since production between 1953 and 1964 – sun exposure, moisture, and simple age take their toll on webbing, plastic, and control elements. The webbing of the automatic lap belt loses tensile strength over time, and the retractor mechanism can seize as the spring ages, reducing its protective function in an emergency. The shift knob, made from resin or bakelite, tends to crack after decades of use, the threaded insert loosens from constant operation, and the lettering fades. On the steering wheel, UV exposure and cabin heat often lead to brittleness or fine hairline cracks in the plastic, while the splines at the steering column connection can wear from years of installation and removal. Anyone keeping their CJ3B on the road or restoring it to original condition can hardly avoid renewing these wear parts – both for safety and for an authentic driving feel.
- Seat Belt: The automatic lap belt for the rear bench provides period-appropriate occupant protection.
- Shift Knob: The shift knob for the Dana 18 transfer case and T84 transmission replaces brittle or cracked original knobs with a precise fit.
- Steering Wheel: The steering wheel without horn button in the original design restores that authentic driving feel behind the wheel.
