“In ’48, Willys built three versions of the pickup. One had a regular bed, one had a flatbed, and you could buy one without a bed to customize anything you needed like an ambulance, firetruck etc. This has a flatbed.
As far as I can tell, this jeep has lived its life on a farm in South Texas where it’s hot and dry. There is no rust that I can find so this is a very solid platform. Luckily, virtually every part on these old Willys Jeeps is available through a variety of sources and I’ve replaced or rebuilt many of them. You could take this truck any direction you want. Leave it the way it is and have a ball with it. Or take it all the way to a totally restored model with new shiny paint etc. and it would be worth something in the mid $30Ks.
Take a look at Toyota Land Cruisers, Land Rovers, Broncos, etc. and see what has happened to their prices in the past few years. These old jeeps are going to be the next and last to see their prices continue to rise. Get in now.
This truck starts right up and idles smoothly. It has the “bulletproof” Dana 25 front axle, Dana 18 transfer case, and the rare Timken clamshell rear axle. The motor is the original and famous “Go Devil” 4-134 L-head 4 cylinder. The compression on all cylinders is right on or within 5% of spec. The transmission is the T-90 with a 3 speed, “three-on-the-tree” shifter. I believe the entire drivetrain to be original to this jeep.
This Willys Jeep is available as is, where is. Buyer is responsible for all shipping expense. I will do what I can to help facilitate working with buyer’s shipping company to coordinate pickup etc.
I have a clear Texas title in my name.”
