UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
The title on this is interesting (see bottom). It looks like a nice little rig.
“This 1958 willys pickup is no trailer queen by any means but it gets thumbs up and smiles where ever she goes. I think these little Willys pickups and wagons had classic lines from the day they were built. I use this little truck on a regular basis and it’s proven to a great driver and dependable.
The body and paint work on it is amatuer grade. The cab and doors are solid. The doors shut and open nicely and windows roll effortlessly. There are grinder marks and runs here and there but it is all pretty shinny. The paint on the door jambs and interior are pretty nicely done. The passenger bed side and top right rail is the worst area on the truck. I have considered putting new top rails on the bed sides and doing the outside of the flat sides of the bed in oak to make it look like a woody bed. The floor in the bed is in good shape as is the tailgate. This truck has been in dry country so it’s not a rust bucket.
It has a clean little 250 cu in Chevy straight six in it that looks like it was born there. Like a lot of small block Chevys it will puff a little smoke from the valve guides when you start it. Although a mild engine, it is still nearly double the horse power of the original engine and it is suprizingly quick. With that extra power the Warner overdrive works great. It will run 60 mph with no strain at all. The stearing is tight and it goes straight down the road. The T-90 transmissin shifts quick and easy with no problems of grinding or popping out of gear. Clutch is quite and works like it should. The brakes are ok but they have never been anything to write home about on early Jeeps. With the engine convertion they put in a hanging clutch pedal and the matched it with a firewall mounted brake master cylinder and a hanging brake pedal which got rid of the old typical “squawking” through the floor pedals. It has been converted to 12volts. The speedometer, temp, amp and oil presure gauges work. The gas gauge works but reads 1/4 tank when it’s really empty. It has the millitary style lock out hubs that are precise and easy to use”
