Unofficial Willys Forum

[dunl]

I...uhmm....er.....ashamed to say I forgot about this one too:



You know you have too many when you realize a week later you forgot about an extra willys kicking around the place.

It's a definite basket case. I know a hell of a lot more about these since I bought this one....it's currently down the the frame in the garage right now. But I have a stash of jeep pics from it:

Enjoy.

Now onto the fun stuff... interior fab.

Beautiful wagon! Nice work. I would like to see more of this thing.

The good thing about being a small guy, is that you can fab a nice cage on a Flatty...

[APU]

i know what you mean. i fit pretty good and my cage sits nicely. Your cage looks great.

[D Rat]

The people that have these gave me a Willys pickup some time back and now his wife said that they have to go, I think that I want the little guy in the center pic.

Well what you see is what it is for now, I have aquired a 89 dually that will donate a TBI 454, TH 400 and the hydroboost system. A LowMax 205 t-case is in the plans, 14 bolt and have a 60 Im building for the front with 5.88's and detroits. I boxed the sock frame with quarter wall plate, was gonna run the 4in chevy lift springs up front and grader ball the back but have talked myself into a 4 link front and 3 link rear.I chopped the windsheild 5in and dove tailed the ass, looks like it will be this winter before I can get it back in the shop being the ole lady is knocked up for the third .

[XJAlex]

here is my Willys / Ford GPW build 1943 - photo has been taken in Normandy on D-Day 2004

that looks like a CJ3B....like mine. The tall hood gives it away. They where made from '53 to '64ish.

here is mine. The last pic I took with my cell phone, that's why it sucks.

What size tires are those? That looks insane.

[MidnightBurn]

31's.

They look like 49's or even bigger compared to the tiny flatty. Unreal!

[WildWilly4x4]
