Josh’s Trip to California Gone Bad

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

Last week was Camp Delta at Tower Park, the largest annual MV Swamp meet in the West. Josh planned to drive from his home in Boise to California to attend the event and return with a rolling military chassis he bought from Dexter.

Being the detailed oriented guy he is, he made sure to have his truck serviced by the dealer prior to the trip. To make a long frustrating story short, the dealership broke something. He only found that out when the truck engine acted poorly both times he tried to leave Boise. Now the truck is in the shop and he is looking at a possible major overhaul. So, he never made it to California.

To help him out, I thought I’d ask if anyone has plans to drive from Lodi area of California to somewhere near Boise or even near me in the Tri Cities. He’d said he’d be happy to help out with gas if someone happened to be coming his direction and could bring out the chassis.

You can email him at joshua.roach@live.com or add a comment and I can send his phone number.

1956 Truck Berkeley, CA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: Was $4000. **SOLD**

Dan spotted this truck.

“For sale is a 1956 Willys Jeep Truck: runs and drives, mechanically sound. Upgraded to 12 volts, with original gauges running on 6 volt regulator. All gauges function perfectly. Four wheel drive works. Original straight-six engine starts and runs like a charm. Original drivetrain. New all-terrain tires; only six months/600 miles.

The bed is rusted through in places, and the floorboards have some small rust holes, but the body is in otherwise good condition: the fenders are a rare commodity, and are all in good shape.

This had been my daily driver for the last few months, but I’m bicycling to work these days. Asking $4000 or best offer. I’ll gladly throw in any spare parts I’ve got, including the set of original rims.”
