1966 Montgomery Ward Jeep Catalog.

I had no idea that you could buy jeep parts from Montgomery Ward back in the day.

I wish the prices were the same as back then!

Well that's neat

You used to as recently as the 1990s be able to buy just about an entire CJ from the JC Whitney catalog, too.

The steering stabilizer for the Willy's, part A209, isn't much less than the Fox 2.0 one for the Gladiator.

I just checked, the amount I saw was 219.00. Where can I get one for 20 bucks?

If I remember correctly, you could basically buy anything from the Montgomery Ward catalog. A one stop shop for everything.

I grew up in rural Idaho. We got a lot of stuff from Sears and Montgomery Wards catalogs. Kind of like Amazon, but nothing fast about it.

Years ago I thought about doing something like that. I had a buddy who tried to sell me one of his early CJ's if it would have been his CJ-6's I would have jumped on buying it. I kinda regret not buying the one that I could have. . . That probably led me to my 05LJ since it's more closely related than the Scrambler CJ-8). Funny, I had been waiting for Jeep to put out another pickup since the Comanche was killed off. Fortunately I got cold feet on what I almost bought so time before the Launch of the Gladiator's.
Back O.T. I definitely bought some stuff from J.C. Witney's over the years and SEARS. I really miss the Montgomery and Wards, SEARS and like company's of the past. I was shuffling though some things in my Comanche the other day and found a box from them. A flexible pipe from manifold to tail pipe/ muffler.

The value of the dollar brings that twenty dollars to near two hundred dollars today

Oh, ok, but I wanted the old prices without the inflation!

You use to be able to buy houses from Sears.

Yeah, there's a Sears kit house about a mile from my house.

It's pretty neat. They used good quality lumber.

I can remember my grandpa telling about buying a 22 and a singleshot shotgun from MonkeyWards.
Not sure if they were mail order or if he went into the store.

Hence the name of houses that have the same architecture, Craftsman.

I many years ago I bought a new soft top for my 67 CJ5 from JcPenny. Had it shipped to the store in town and picked it up there. A few years later the zippers on the windows broke, they sent me to a local shop that sewed in heavy brass zippers free of charge.
