Lots of updates. No longer 4wd. Looks good.
“Just in time for Spring is this one of a kind 1953 Willys Hot Rod Truck. It may still say 4 wheel drive on the Hood but this bad boy has been transformed from snow plow duty to a bitchin Street Rod. The project started with a super clean stock 53 Willys pickup. The front end received a Mustang II suspension while the rear end came from a Lincoln. Four wheel disc brakes stop this machine like a 747. A brand new Ford 302 crate motor handles the power. the engine was placed as low and as far back as possible which gives this ride great handling. Inside has a bench seat and Jimmy Shine “spiked ball” shifter knob. Easy to drive and very reliable. New Painless Street Rod wiring. all lights, horn, turn signals etc. work as they should.”

“This truck is clean inside and out it is a great father son project restoration”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000
“Mechanically perfect, currently registered, clean title, invested way over selling price. This is a 5 speed – 6 cylinder rebuilt Buick motor, motor quiet as a mouse. This Willys is on a Toyota 4×4 frame so it rides much smoother than an old Willys. New full bench seat that reclines and moves forward/backward. Power steering, all gauges work, all electrical works: tail lights, head lights, brake lights, interior lights, blinkers. CHP approved. Everything has been done: front end, rear end, transfer case, transmission, brakes…..no leaks. It is all about gearing, this car will go 70 mph, great on gas. Tires good. Just painted. Well worth it!”
Paul spotted this unique Inspection Willys Jeep Truck at Just a Car Guy’s blog. I would guess this was sold as a truck with no bed. What’s odd is the extra cab thing on the top. Looks like it was part of another vehicle.
