Bill forwarded some pics of his beautiful Wagon build. I thought it was a stock rig until I saw the drag image.
This is my 1947 2WD Jeep wagon that I fixed up. It’s kida a wolf in sheep’s clothing. With the right wheels it looks kinda stockish. It is powered by a 540 BBC motor with a trubo 350 trans and a Dana 44 rear diff with a 4.10 gear and a True Trac. I have upgraded to a Rac steering and disc brakes. It has a stock front suspension, so that’s why it looks so funny leaveing the line when I drag race. It runs low 11′ second in the quarter mile. It is driven as much as I can, and even take it out for a spin every Christmas. I do live about the 49th parallel.
Absolutely gorgeous…normally I like bone stock, but in this case, a lotta wolf is good! Jeepen!
Did the 2wd version have IFS? That looks like it. Looks nice though.
That’s an awesome wagon.
Isn’t this what they used to call a sleeper? In others words its appearence “lulls you to sleep” but it much more than it appears to be.
Nice work Bill – I love that it appears stock. 11 seconds is not bad at all.
