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!’

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This is a good looking truck!

“Selling my 1957 Jeep Willys Flatbed Truck that was restored a couple years ago. The truck has been kept in the garage and is in almost mint condition. These are extremely rare trucks and finding one in this shape now days is almost impossible. The truck has only 48,000 original miles and was used to hall hay on a farm in the beginning. It has the 6 cylinder Super Hurricane engine which gives it a little more torque and power then the 4 cylinders. This truck has only been used since restored in car shows and parades. Everything has been kept original with a few cleaner interior updates. The truck run’s like brand new and the 4×4 works perfect. It has always been well taken care of and adult owned/driven. Please let me know if there are anymore pictures you would like to see or might have any questions at all. ”

UPDATE:  Back on eBay

(10/25/2012) This is a nice looking combo.

“1962 Willy’s pickup with matching willy’s trailer included, trailer is from approximately the 1950’s. Original equipment body, frame, 5 rims, glass, front bumper, and much more. New gas tank and sending unit. Things that need fixing include temperature gauge, gas gauge, wipers system and some oil leaks. Most everything else works fine but could use more attention. The engine clutch and back bumper are from a 1974 Chev 1/2 ton truck and the engine runs well. I do not deliver, buyer is responsible for making arrangements to get the vehicle. The paint looks nice but the paint preparation was not all professionally done so there are areas of the body work that are not smooth. Drives with some roughness and noise but is sound and functional. Nice vintage vehicle that is usable and fun.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

Walter spotted this. Unclear how much value his here, but there appears to be some.

‘I have a 1947 Willys pickup, original, lacking tailgate, no title, and a 1977 J10 pickup with title, 6 cyl, 4 spd, 4.10 axles. I had planned on putting the Willys body on the J10 frame, and using that title, but I’m just not interested in doing projects anymore. Have too many, and its not fun like it used to be. I have not run either of them, so don’t know if they will or not. Not interested in trades or lowballers, or hearing a sad story about you not having the money.”

This nice truck is being auction with 100% of proceeds going to the Clark Fork Coalition which helps protect the Clark Fork Watershed.

“Original flat floor.Truck runs well. Model 6-226. 6 cylinder, 226 engine (correct engine for this model). A CID Flat head side valve engine. Engine has not been re-built, but engine has been re-sealed and gaskets changed. This is a point ignition. Body man and painter did meticulous body work. Very pretty truck. Runs well at 45 mph, geared low.

Full repairs done to the vehicle in 2011. I have a copy of the report that I can share. Basically, this is an amazing little truck. Our donor paid around $10,000 for the vehicle and then put another 10K of work into it … so with this new info it’s actually worth retail of close to 20K. Vin # 55268/11999.

Latest comp test in 2011 on the 6 cylinder engine – all fired at 110 except #3 which fired at 105 – still really good.

The only items of note: Some rust on the floor but this was covered with a plate of sheet metal in the 2011 repair. See photo. And, all cab mounts eventually need to be replaced.

I am receiving a lot of emails about this. If you prefer to talk in person please email me through eBay to set up a time. I am on staff at the nonprofit running the auction but will answer questions best I can.
Thanks,
Clark Fork Coalition”

1951 Truck Independence, MO **SOLD**

December 8, 2012 • CATEGORIES: Willys Trucks • TAGS: , . This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

(12/05/2012) Randy forwarded this eBay listing.  This sure has rusted beautifully!

“1951 Willys Jeep 4X4 Pickup Truck. This is a project that is currently not running and has been setting for the last 30 years. This is a very restorable truck that is a rock crawler waiting to happen. The drive train is complete from engine to rear end. The engine appears not to be original because it is an over head valve, and the engine is locked up and will not turn over, the remainder of the drive train was in working condition when the truck was parked. Although the body is 99% surface rust it is actually very solid and straight. The cab is very nice as is the roof, hood, cowl, grill, rock guard, and doors and these pieces should clean up for paint with very little effort. The fenders are all on the rough side but are repairable. The bed is also very straight but does have through rust in the bed sides and in the floor. The tailgate has minimal rust and will need some work. The glass is all in place except the driver door wing window, the rest of the glass is either frosted or has bubbles from old age and will need to be replaced, but it is all flat glass and should be very economical to replace. The interior is rough, the seat frame and springs are in place but will need to be recovered. All of the guages are in place and the dash appears to be complete. The wheels all turn freely and the tires all hold air, but are 30 years old and dry rotted. All 5 wheels are original to the truck with the factory pin stripe barley still showing. I have tried to decribe this old Jeep the best of my ability, but have probably missed something that you need to know, if so just ask. If you would like to inspect it in person prior to the end of the auction again just ask and arrangements will be made. This Jeep comes with a good Missouri title. The buyer will be responsible for all transpotation costs if required, but I will be willing to assist in loading or pickup on this end if needed. If you are looking for a project or just some good parts you should give this one some serious consideration.”

The Scheneker BackHoe: Anyone Familiar with it?

Glenn has a friend working on a restoration of a Scheneker Backhoe.  Due to the lack of information about these, he wondered if anyone out there in Willysland had any additional information about them.  You can either comment or contact me if you want to email me (d@ewillys.com).

He writes, “A local friend is working on a ’55 Willys Pickup with a Schnecker Iron Works BackHoe mounted on back. It looks just like the one in the Willys Special Equipment Catalog. We have been playing with this unit for several years and have never seen another.

We would like to communicate with anyone knowledgeable about these. Probably not many were built as it was not strong enough to take the beating.

As this is being dismantled, it is obvious that much rewelding was required after each use. Complete replacement of the frame is the only answer and a California pickup is here. Frame reinforcements were everywhere and we are trying to find any information as to what was done at the Buffalo Factory.

Somewhere there must be another of these in order for owners to compare notes. This is totally different from the Ottawa on the FC170 later in the 50’s, and also different from the half cab FC170 shown in the current AACA Club Magazine “Antique Automobile” There are many special parts on this vehicle including heavy duty split rim 15″ wheels and a banjo type rear end housing.”

Here are the few brochures found so far:
