UPDATE: This is back up for sale.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/791397446461376

“Introducing the Budson! Project custom 1948 Willies Wagon, Chrysler 225 slant 6, 3 speed manual, Dana 18, power brakes. Runs pretty good, moves around the yard, needs wheel cylinders before it could be on the road, shoes looked good. Good tires on 15in rims, new battery and fuel pump. Got it in trade a bit ago, and I just can’t seem myself ever wheeling it like I want to. Needs some work, but I don’t think it would take much to get it on the road. If you look up “Willies Budson”, you can find an old post about it detailing a bit more about all the pieces it has. Clean title in hand, located in Lebanon, OR. $6500, or maybe a partial trade for a street legal dual sport motorcycle like a Yamaha TW200 or a Jeep J-pickup.”
