Not sure how much value is here. If the chassis is well done, a person could widen the body of this and maybe make something a little different. I think this might ride hard, given the suspension is built to handle a lot more weight than a jeep?

Be convoy ready at 9. Drivers meeting at 9:30 Saturday Feb 16th. This is a full day in the elements, and we leave by 10.
The 21st Annual Vintage 4×4 Expedition is looking for 10 more pre 1975 vehicles to embark on a 4 day back and logging road expedition.

Nobody will be stranded or left behind.

If you ever feel like there’s a lot of stuff on eWillys, you’d be correct. We’ve just passed the 50,000 post mark. This includes the fact that I’ve deleted roughly several thousand posts over the past few years as I try to clean up or eliminate old posts that have no value (such as those that lack photos) and mark other’s sold.
Side note: There are also 63,000+ comments and 6.5 million blocked spam comments since eWillys began.
