1950 Willys Truck $5,000 Santa Clarita, CA

I probably first visited Northern CA back in like 2005 or 2006 and it was always one of those neat places. We stayed here in maybe 2010 a few of us cousins got an AirBNB and it was a blast.

With that said I’m sure a lot has changed since I have been out there, but still I would recommend if you wanted to go see a place that has a lot of neat places Northern CA and even Southern OR, like Glacier Lake are just amazing.

So back to this rig, I feel 5k is a little steep, but there are some finer details to this one that are still present, but it’s been a long road for this rig.

Information from seller:

Its a 1950s Willis jeep truck it is a rolling chassis its a great project truck it has no motor or transmission for sale not looking to trade.

1959 Willys Jeep Fire Truck Auction

BAT Auction was sent over by John and then also Andy, was supposed to publish on Saturday but did not list it for some reason.

This is a really nice example.

Information from seller:

This 1959 Willys Jeep fire truck served the National Park Service and other federal agencies in the Southwestern US as recently as the 1990s before spending the following years on display in private collections. Power comes from a 226ci Super Hurricane inline-six linked to a three-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case, and equipment includes a PTO-driven water pump, a hose reel, a ladder, a siren, and spotlights. The truck is finished in red over gray upholstery and also features 15” steel wheels

, Watson manually locking front hubs, and drum brakes. Acquired by the current owner in 2022, this Willys fire truck is now offered by the seller on their behalf at no reserve with an operation manual, a maintenance logbook, spare parts, and a clean Montana title in the name of the owner’s LLC.

ISO 1948 Willys Truck Heater

Request came over via email looking for a 1948 Willys Truck Heater.

If you know of a good lead I can pass on the information.

Just for reference here is a video from Don on amazing work he performed on the heater in Willa Dean a 1948 4T Truck.

Period correct heaters can be adapted and there were many aftermarket heaters at the time as I feel they were not a standard offering at the time. But the Willys Overland Badged units are pretty neat.

1953 Willys Truck $850 Newport, PA

Parts rig as described, not original engine. Never heard of the 260, here is some search results on that one. So nice uptick in power from the Willys stuff, front distributor so no firewall concerns. Sounds like a good choice for a Willys. It’s going to be tight at the price point to part this out.

From Search…….

The Ford 260 V8 is a small-block engine from the Ford Windsor family, produced from 1962 to 1964 as a successor to the 221 V8. It has a \(260\text{\ cubic\ inch}\) (\(4.3\) L) displacement and a power output of around \(164\) horsepower. This engine was used in early models like the 1964 Falcon Sprint and 1964 1/2 Mustang before being replaced by the more powerful 289 V8.

Information from seller:

1953 Jeep 1 ton 4×4 factory stake body. 1 of 694 made. 260 v8 Ford motor. Manual transmission. As is. You haul. Poor condition located in NEWPORT PA. NOT PARTING OUT!! Must buy whole truck. $850.00 Have clean Pa title. Serious inquiries only.

“Andy’s Picks”

Here are some great links, I cant harvest all these photos they typically are in what’s formatted as WEBP and the are wonderful space saving files that don’t work with the site. To crop and save, or even use Photoshop mass change to a useable format. But I have looked over these and there is some great stuff here.

My notes if any will be in Italics followed by Andy’s info from his email to me.

Bangor, PA CJ parts rig off the road 100yd, Currently @ $1 ends > 12/7/2025

Good size estate Auction, I live not too far from here on the NJ side, we just got 4” of fresh snow, so this will be some work, but there is an Overdrive and some other parts here for sure. I have no space we are in Winter mode here and the place is cleaned up and things put away for the Winter. But someone will be getting a deal here and can make a few Willys Bucks on this one, even with a 23% Buyers Fee.

I spy at least $1 worth of parts under this CJ

SOLD ON EBAY

Someone got a good deal, these W grills are around the NE and I have seen a few of them. They are pretty neat period add-ons. Was a good buy IMO. 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/227077630649

Pickup with the W-O grille guard. I know I’ve seen that item in the approved add-on brochures, but have only seen one other truck on the net with it.

Taylor Auction

3235 S Saginaw Rd
Midland, MI 48640

Date(s) 11/26/2025 – 12/15/2025

November 26th- December 15th

__________________________
This is an extreme Easter Egg Hunt on this one, I actually stopped at 289, its very broken up in a bunch of lots! 
But don’t overlook this Auction, there is a ton of parts here for an Early Truck, the stakebed side are legit Willys. Early 2 pc front seat, might be parts of a second one there. The V6 is awesome, this would be a great package if you can score all the parts and pieces, its just so broken up because its all over the floor. 
Andy did a lot of the leg work, but there honestly is probably more of the rig in other containers on the floor. 
Here is a basketcase early stakebed pickup with a Buick V6 and front pto winch on HiBid:
At least lot numbers:
118, 152, 257, 289, 290, 344, 346, 350, 351, 354, 355, 356, 357, 358, 364, 365, 366, 367, 370, 373, 374, 375, 376, 378, 379, 395, 396, 705, 759, 762

1960 Willys Jeep $1,000 Beavertown, PA

1960 Willys Jeep $1,000 Beavertown, PA

If you search up “End of the Line” or “Last Ride” in the search, or select it from the Category List, which I only stumbled on this on eWillys this week. It fits the bill for sure.

https://www.ewillys.com/category/end-of-the-line/

I did cross post this on OWF in “The Rusted To The Ground” thread over there.

https://www.oldwillysforum.com/forum/index.php?threads/the-rusted-to-the-ground-thread.17335/

Ran when parked? If it was not for a bad starter it would be running right now.

Side note this happens to Post #1000 on my list, it’s technically over that, but per the vehicle list I use for posting which is a Word Document to pre-populate the posting text and semi format the posts this is Post #1000 on that list. The Word Doc today is 451 Pages long with 106,092 words! Obviously, I copy and paste a lot of the Information from Seller, but it’s a minor accomplishment for me to hit this milestone. It could be Post 10,000 if I just posted to post and hit some magic threshold, there is a lot of sketchy ads and junk beside what I post out there. I never wanted to Post just to Post.

Information from seller:

Ok so this jeeps in pretty ruff shape, but frame is good along with rears and tyranny, the thing that makes it worth it, is the super hurricane engine, that did run years ago, not locked up..if the starter wasn’t junk, I could have it running..

1954 Willys Pickup $24,000 San Diego, CA

1954 Willys Pickup $24,000 San Diego, CA

Nice looking truck, on the higher price end for sure. I have 3 Trucks (one actually drives and stops Imagine that!) so I’m all in on Willys Trucks and I always say sit, drive, and then think about owning. They can be tight seating. The F-134 is legendary but its limiting in certain geographic areas as well.

OD would help, just not on any hills.

It is nice. I like the fender mounted lights, the color scheme, spare tire pops. I would delete those mirrors and go with an original single long stem with the round circle. Then also go back to nice NACO re-pop with some LED vs the double lights.

Information from seller:

This is a rugged and historical significant 1954 Willys jeep pickup truck model 475 a pure example of post war American utility and 4×4 ingenuity. legendary Hurricane engine
