Builds: Ron nabs a Craigslist Find

• CATEGORIES: Builds, Features, Willys Trucks This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

A reader named Ron wrote me the other day.  He spotted a great deal on a restorable truck at a great price and now has a website with pics of the early work (I’ve included a couple pics below).  Click on the photogallery to see all the pics. Ron already has a 1971 CJ-5 and his son a 84 CJ-8;  you can see pics of those vehicles in the photogallery as well. Congrats on the find and good luck with the rebuild!

Ron writes, “We are in the middle of the off frame restoration of the 61 Willys. It was purchased new in 61 by a lady with a farm in Connecticut. She ordered it with a snow plow and a hydraulic dump bed. It only has 22,000 miles. I bought it from her grandson.”

Here’s the truck before restoration.  It looks like a good starting point.

Here’s a look at how the rear of the dump bed frame looks.

And here’s a closeup of the dump mechanism.

1960 Truck Plymouth, Wi **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000

The color scheme and signage is unusual (in a good way I think).

“This 1960 Willys Jeep has only 16,000 miles on it. It is a 6 cylinder. The outside has some rust around the back corners of the cab. The interior is like new. It needs some work — the starter needs to be rebuilt or replaced and the brakes need some work. We have the original owner’s manual and service manual.”

1948 Truck Mason, Mi $3200

• CATEGORIES: Willys Trucks This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Here’s a modified truck that looks pretty good.

“1948 Willys pickup built on a 1985 Ford Bronco II. Ford 2.8 liter V6 with power brakes and power steering. 4WD, 4 speed manual, sun roof. Since earlier listing have had frame welded and replaced bucket seats with a bench seat, making it much more comfortable for taller drivers. Recently had engine tuned up, new starter and fuel pump. Less than 1700 miles on front brakes. Starts and runs well. Single owner, clear title. Actual mileage unknown.

This would is a good hobby truck that technically doesn’t need anything, but could stand some improvements here and there as time and money allow. Paint is fair, with a few points flaking off, especially on the roof. Tires are fair and not in need of immediate replacement, but a new set of larger wheels would look better. Previous owner created wood tailgate, but the original Willys tailgate is available – it is solid but needs work. The wood pickup bed could be replaced. The radio is old and should be replaced along with new speakers. Carpet is OK but eventually could be replaced, with floor / firewall insulation added. Doors could be better aligned and have weatherstripping replaced.

The truck has vintage, rugged Willys looks but with more modern amenities. I am only selling because I bought another ’48 Willys truck. No trades.”

Happy Thanksgiving!

• CATEGORIES: Features, Willys Trucks This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I’d hoped to develop some sort of Thanksgiving themed post to celebrate Thanksgiving, but as it turns out there really aren’t many images of jeeps dressed as turkeys … go figure.

Instead, I happened upon this NY Times story of a guy named Harry Allen and his dad’s truck.  To get right to the point, Harry restored it ($40k) and it’s a beautiful restoration.  There’s also a slide show that accompanies the story.

1951 Truck Escondido, CA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.

“This is a 1951 Willys truck that I bought as a project, but after a divorce and being a single parent, I find I don’t have the time or money to fix it up. It currently runs, but as with all old cars, could always use some work. It is currently registered till February. Does not have the original motor trans or rear end, they were converted before I bought it. It has a Dodge 225 slant 6 motor and trans, and a chevy rear end. There is noticeable rust/cancer on both front fenders and along the drip rail molding, and I suspect there is some in the bed, but it has been painted over. I also have a chevy 350 with a 4 bolt main, that I had intended to put in this truck, that I will sell with the truck. Please only contact me if you are serious.”
