The April 1955 issue of Willys News published this photo. It’s a tour jeep truck for the Africa. It seems a little too open to me. Those lions look like they could easily leap inside.

2 1959 & 1 1955 Trucks Goleta, CA **Status Unknown**
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $7175
Anthony is selling these trucks. We got to meet him during our tour of California in 2014.
“This is a great opportunity to own three Willy’s trucks. For sale are a 1955, and two 1959’s. One 59 runs good, street legal, blinkers, speedo, gauges work, could be daily driver. That truck will be sold with a truck cover. The 1959 will be sold with a rebuilt super hurricane flat head six, with water pump and possible clutch assemblies. Additionally, starter has been rebuilt; radiator have been boiled, cleaned and repainted, new tires, extra seats, doors. The trucks are basically all original with engines and transmissions. The 1959 has good transmission that doesn’t jump out of second (notorious for T-90’s), and both 4-wheel drive works well. Some body work will be needed, but the body is in decent shape for 1950’s. I am selling for I do not have the time to refurbish. Clean title on all three. (I will miss them).”

Glenn spotted this truck.
“Rebuilt 250 engine. Tranny just gone through. 4×4. With complete plow. New water pump. Good running truck. Is used almost daily. Not perfect but in overall good condition. Perfect blend of antique, work truck, gets lots of looks and gets the job done. This thing gets more places than some of the newer 4×4’s and was used to pull one out that was stuck in the woods. Tough, good running, cool looking truck.”

1950 Truck Northport, NY **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
It runs but needs work.
“1950 Willys pickup. Real barnyard find from a Margaretville dairy farm. Solid body and frame. New brake drums, shoes, hardware , wheel cyclinders and master cylinder, front end work, king pin bearings, wheel bearings, tie rods, center link, rear wheel bearings, new wiring harness/fuse box/battry. New carburetor,gas tank, gas lines. This is a running truck that still needs work to be road worthy and pass inspection. The tires hold air but are very old and have dry rot. Brakes will probably need to be re-bleed. Needs a headlight and, lights are not hook up yet. For those of you that are familiar with these trucks, when new they were meant to travel at best 45 mph, therefore its unrealistic to think that you can buy this truck as is and drive it up state. I’m looking for a serious buyer who wants to tinker with this and drive it to the local home depot or cruise night. If you are not very local you will need a trailer to bring this home (I have had this on a U-Haul trailer). ”
1952 Truck Emmett, ID **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This may be worth a look. It appears it’s covered most of the time.
“I am selling my 52 willy’s jeep. I wish I knew more about it, just know I don’t have time to finish her up and make it the treasure it is. It was handed down to me. I do know it’s all original besides electric fan and fuel pump. It does not start right now, but it did before I towed it back to Emmett. I believe it needs new battery and tune up. Hasn’t been started for probably 10 years. It’s an awesome truck, some rust but the right owner would have her looking great. I’m asking 3500 call or text if you’d like little more info or look at it. ”

(07/28/2015) This has an interesting rear. For some reason it has the PTO bar in back?
“My dad’s 53 Willy 4X4 , straight six “Super Hurricane” 4 speed manual, hi lo transfercase. It does run but needs brake work and a few odds and ends tiddy-ed up. It has a winch mount in front and in the bed of the truck; along with a gin pole setup. We rebuilt this many years ago from the radiator to the tailpipe and used to take it to Colorado to use on trails or general running around while camping. It has a few modifications for the trails but for the most part it is stock.
