FC-150 Trailer (Bed and Chassis) Visalia, CA **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500

At least it has the tailgate. I’ve heard those are hard to find.

“Actually it’s the back half of the truck – bed, frame, differential, etc. I know – sacrilege! I didn’t do this and the person that did probably had a good reason.

Regardless – the bed/trailer is for sale. If you’re into Willys Forward Control Trucks you know how rare this is. The condition of the bed is fair but in my opinion restorable. There are certainly some bends and twists and even a very limited amount of cancer but nothing that can’t be fixed. I’m posting lots of pictures so you can see the condition for yourself.”

Willys Stamped Name

A reader asked if the WILLYS logo stamped on a hood could be used to replace the WILLYS used on the rear of Willys MBs during the war. At first blush, I thought they were different, but had never actually compared the sizes. So, below is a comparison (I randomly grabbed a tub and a hood example off the internet). The top photo shows the rear of a tub (obviously being repaired) and the bottom photo is a hood stamping from a CJ-3B.

willys-vs-willys-scriptAs you can see, the war-tub Willys logo has more letter spacing than the post war logo. The spacing within individual letters (the W, T, & S) also is less.  The post war letters are taller than the tub letters.
