UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was on eBay

(12/16/2012) Randy dropped by to see this Lefty. He reports it runs well and does not smoke, but he didn’t test drive it. The floors have been patched and the hat channels and tool box floor are pretty gone.

“This 1948 CJ2A Willys is all original except for seats and wheels. We have the original seats, but need to be upholstered. Engine, transmission and transfer case rebuilt last winter, new rear end installed also. At that time added power steering, have original steering box and shaft, if wanting to go back to original. New battery. Starts and runs good, does not use oil. Original identification plate and transmission/transfer case diagram.
Clear Idaho title.”

UPDATE: Now on eBay

(05/24/2012) The pictures suggest it is a bit rough.

“Here’s a 1952 Flat fender M38 Willys, It’s an original, been used on a ranch to service spinklers and run all over the place, it’s never been restored or anything like that, it runs good –the transfer case has a issue and I picked up another one for it and started to change it out and hurt my back doing something else and now I can not work on something like this for a while. We are now moving and I can take it with us or sell it. I have all the paper work and the “pink slip”.

E-mail your contact information, put “Willy” in the subject line and include a telephone # so I know your not a spammer. Thanks”

UPDATE:  Bob notes the jeep is the museum next to the ship and not inside the ship.

Bob took time during his visit to Alabama to visit the USS Alabama Memorial Park in Mobile, Alabama.  It turns out there’s a jeep in the museum next to this old fighter.  If you have time, you might want to check out this unique opportunity to explore a battleship.

1950 Truck Las Vegas, NV **SOLD**

January 6, 2013 • CATEGORIES: Willys Trucks • TAGS: . This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
1

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This truck looks good, though it has two different types of rims.

“This auction is for a 1950 4×4 Willys Jeep Pickup. It is in turn key running condition with a transplanted small block ford V8 mated (289) to a 3 speed manual transmission. It has been fully painted (Corvette yellow) from frame up including the interior and engine bay. It has full new interior with Ford explorer seats. all door pannell and custom roof piece done.

Tires are oversize from stock and rims are aftermarket. Has original style spare on drivers side of bed. Wood bed rails custom built and installed. The tail gate has been hand painted with wood effect. All glass in good condtion. The truck has a electric fan for cooling and a new Optima blue top for exellent starting. Cooling system has had radiator fully flushed and pressure tested and new thermostat. Also has new starter and new starter solenoid.

Fires right up on the first turn of the key. Doesnt smoke or anything funny. Front and rear bumpers are in pretty good shape. Over all the truck is pretty straight. If you look in the pictures you will see that the floor in the bed is not perfect and pitted but the actual panels and fenders all over are nice clean and straight.

This truck has the V-Grill. Cab is solid and floors are not rusted. I have the before pictures as well so you can see that it is not just thrown together with bondo and some cheap paint to hide a nightmare. Truck is drove at least once a week so its not just a show pice either. Nevada based truck sot thats a great thing because of our dry desert. This truck definately gets the looks and is only being sold because the owner has a willys wagon and shevy pickup that are taking more of the priority. So it needs to go to make room in the garage. Owner hates to see it go but figures its the smart thing to do. Title is clean and clear with current Nevada registration. Ready to sign it over to its new home.”

This includes a brand new body and overdrive, but is still a project.

“I have a project 1948 Willy’s Jeep for sale. About 3 years ago I started tearing the jeep down so I could rebuild it from the ground up. I purchased a brand new body for the project. I sand blasted and painted the frame and axles. Became too busy with other things and stopped working on it. Has a split transmission with a over drive which is cool and very rare. The motor is a 302 ford with racing pistons, wild cam shaft, clevland 351 heads and much more. I believe most stuff is there except a missing hood and a few other small parts. A very cool project for somebody, need to sell asap, wish I had the time and money.”

Our normal three hour drive on Saturday from Pasco to Seattle took seven; in an attempt to avoid snow on Snoqualmie Pass we ran right into it on Sutan Pass.  The modern Ford Mustang, not know for its snow handling and sporting the wrong tires, was all kinds of fun inching over snowy, icey and remote Sutan Pass.  Wby did we taken Sutan Pass (which turns out to also be higher than Snoqualmie)?  Because my wife thought I knew the pass was there, even though I said I’d never driven over state highway 97 through Goldendale (we were heading south to I-84).

As I carefully steered up the pass, hoping not to slow down and lose traction,  I asked why she thought this route was a good idea.  She said she thought I had scoped out the pass. I said I had told her I didn’t know there was a pass at all!  Well, this back and forth conversation lasted until we crested the pass and slid/drove our way down the other side.

Despite her cool exterior and her positive confirmation of my driving skills, she was very busy snapping pictures with her phone and posting on Facebook pictures of the snowy road with comments like “we are gonna die” and “if we don’t make it, we love you all”.  She does have a sense of humor 🙂

So, after our long drive, we crashed in bed and have slept the night away.  Updates later.

Willys Truck at Felix’s Fish Camp in Spanish Fort, Alabama

Bob’s down in Spanish Fort, Alabama, to photograph the Godaddy.com Bowl on Sunday when Kent State battles Arkansas State.  Of all the events at that bowl, I’m thinking the coaches wives got the best gig:  lunch at Wintzell’s Oyster House (a good place to eat if Yelp is to be believed). Uh oh, now I’m hungry.  Anyway, while down there, Bob spotted this poor old truck at Felix’s Fish Camp (another good place to eat).  It appears rooted permanently to the beach.  Of course, he thought of us ….

About the truck Bob says, “I looked under the hood and the truck still had the straight 6. Frame was almost rusted in half and the top was gone on the truck. Pretty cool though!’
