I just dragged home A 68 M715

Does it qualify?

The Willys name was retired in 1965

Either way, post up some pics and a build thread.

Tonight I cut off the front bumper, and I have A problem moving it around, its 12" frekin channel with 250 wall 2" tube for uppers. It was an insanely heavy bumper. But Im sure the guy had good intent. I did A flatfender on my jeepster and have no regrets. Heres the pisc on the pair

cool i can see the build in my head ctd/6spd 203/205 on rocks an 40's

elbastardo · 10-08-2011, 03:31 PM

Ctd, would be awsome

but because there Sooo cheap, unless one falls in my lap (that would hurt) It probably wont happen

A 6.5 chevy is closer to what im thinking. I have A dodge CAD 60 laying around that im thinking ill use

40s to 44s always seem to look good on these rigs, so thats the size ill probably go for. Im just now digging around for parts and ideas

The commando I did went pretty fast because I had the stuff laying around, After that rig ill definatly go that route agine

that how i did my 42 buggy. collected all the stuff to build it over a 3 year period watching and looking at everyone else's stuff. then sat down with a bare frame an 63 days later drove it out the door and up the ramp to see how everything was going to work
