1956? Truck Mariposa, CA **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

This has a short wheelbase. Maybe this is a truck on a CJ-5 chassis?

“We have a 1955 or 1956 Willys Flatbed pickup would make an excellent crawler.

The transmission and transfer case look like a T89 transmission and a model 80 transfer case which would be correct for this vehicle.

The engine in the photos is not the correct engine for this model regardless of the year, however, it looks like a 215 c.i. Buick V6 engine that was an optional engine in the Jeep CJ5 from about 1966 to 1969? (Jeep Corp. bought the engines from GM)The Buick engine in the CJ5
was matched to the T89 transmission and model 80 transfer case until about 1969 or so.

1950 CJ-3A Gaffney, SC **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.

Sad reason for selling.

“1950 cj3a, complete, but rough. Did run when parked, but generator did not charge. Body is rough as a cobb. Plenty of bondo, and ugly welds. My son learned to drive a stick in this beauty…… and I lost him a month ago. I can’t stand to look at it, so it needs a new home. The little red devil flat head purred like a kitten.”

It’s a project. Lots of pics provided.

“Complete 1947 Willys Jeep Project. This Jeep was converted to run with a 192 engine. It was a running driving Jeep before is was disassembled to be restored. Everything to get it going again is there. It has all been stripped and the frame was sand blasted and painted. The front and rear end were totally gone through. The entire brake system has been re done. Also, brand new springs were installed. The transmission has the warn overdrive installed on it!! The rims are in good shape. The tub needs a little bit of rust cut out on the front floor, painted and reassembled. I have both front seat frames and the hard to find rear seat frame.”

1952 M-38A1 Santa Cruz, CA $2000

• CATEGORIES: M-38A1 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

It’s a project, but appears to have potential.

“Selling my project 52 willys with a 283 small block chevy v8 and a 4 speed manual. My transmission went out in my truck so I’m forced to sell. I bought it from my uncle 1 year ago. It was sitting in his back yard for 10 years. sence then i rebuilt the carb. Replaced the rubber sections of fuel line and cleaned the hard lines. New fuel filters. New starter and alternater. Radiator was flushed at a shop. When I was running it i had it hooked up to a fuel cell. I have the fuel tank but the inside needs to be cleaned.
Still needs brake work and there is no clutch pressure. Its on 33s and a little lift but the tires are old and cracked. The floorboards have some rust.
It’s a project that’s worth finishing. ”

1955 Gravity Dump Modification

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features, Old Images, Old News Articles • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

There were several articles that made the June 1955 issue of Willys News worth purchasing, even if the price was higher than I wanted. Case in point is the gravity dump box idea below. Perhaps someone can recreate this rare mod?
