Love the truck. Im a little confused about the current fad of adding surf boards to all things Willys. I could understand on the old woodie looking wagons, but a dually work truck?
Painted pop rivets holding a sheet metal patch panel to the body shown on photo 13.
Lew, I think it is just a way to be prepared in case you get stuck in water? You can always paddle away!
Paul, maybe that’s a feature?
Dave, I think you’re correct about the pop rivets being a feature of this vehicle but I think it’s one feature potential buyers aren’t supposed to notice.
Craigslist ad isn’t currently showing any pics… just the map of general location. Seems like a curious strategy.
Pictures are back on CL.
Thing is for CL, they only support a limited number of photos (4 I think) the additional ones need to be linked from some other host.
Craigslist used to limit posts to four images, but they’ve recently expanded the number to 12 (according to this https://www.craigslist.org/about/help/images ).
Update to this one.
I bought it and I asked about the pop rivets and the guy who restored it. He said it was like that when he picked up the jeep he had thought it was factory so he left it. I am assuming the original owner might have done it.
Thanks for the update. Looks like a fun combo! Will you be bringing it the FC Roundup?
The seller said he had extra parts that went with truck. Looking for parts for mine. I live in CT if you are local
John he didn’t mention any spare parts from my recollection unless it was a earlier revision. It might have been a miscommunication as the person who posted the ad was not the owner but a friend of the owner.
Also David I would like to. Might be a little while as I don’t have my own tow rig yet and live on the east coast.
Yes, that’s a long drive for sure. I think Jesse mentioned at this point he’s only planning on hosting three or four more Roundups.
