1948 Truck Princeton, IL **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Unusual, Willys Trucks This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800

This runs.  I love the shifting pattern drawn on the ‘dash’.

“Hi – what I have is a CONTRAPTION that used to be a 48 Willys Pickup – it is not roadable – however it is a good PLOW/UTILITY vehicle for personal or neighborhood use …

I removed the cab from the pickup – and made a roof – it still has the original jeep front end , fenders and hood … It has a make-shift flatbed … a roll bar , etc …

The truck has a usable frame/chassis – it would be a cool project frame to put under an El Camino 4X4 project , etc … currently it has a good running (original) 4 cylinder engine … 3 speed manual trans … 4X4 in good shape – old tires have plenty of tread – never got it stuck , but they are severally dry rotted … has a good radiator …. – converted to GM 12V system …

Has a hydraulic pump operated plow … that works good – fixed position – just up or down …

Havent started it for awhile – battery probably shot …. points may need to be cleaned …. but when these things are attended to , starts and runs very good …

I want to sell the whole thing as is … but I will remove the plow if you just want the truck – the truck will be 600.00 and I’ll charge the same for the plow if I have to seperate … better deal if you just but the whole contraption as is … I did have to gusset the frame where it was rusty on one side , but did a good job …”
