1951 Willys Truck

Just got it this morning, it came all the way form Ohio (a lot cheaper up there then down here, even with the shipping cost).
It has a Chevy 350, TH400 automatic trans, Dana20 T-Case, front Dana 44, rear Ford 9”, power steering. The engine starts without a problem and sounds great. Frame is solid, the truck just need some cosmetic repairs.















Dogs are ready to go for a ride!

That thing is F-ing sweet.!!!!

Yes sir. As for now it will be his whenever he comes to visit and I can use it when I need it. No plans yet for him to take it with him, maybe he will change his mind after I am done fixing it.

So far I need to replace the engine oil pan gasket, transmission pan gasket, and t-case gasket. They are all leaking. The engine is leaking a lot. This should be an easy fix.

The steering box has a leak so the steering pump fluid level was almost empty. The steering was super hard when I got it. I put some more power steering fluid in it and it got better but its still hard, like something is jamming it a bit. Any idea what it could be?

I want to do all the mechanical work before I start fixing the cosmetic things.

This is going to be a fun long project. I cant wait to start but first I need to finish a few things to the wrangler. My guess I should start working on this truck early next year but we will see if I can wait that long.

Very nice.

Cool project for the 2 of y'all!!!! Last time I saw one of these, some redneck in La Vernia screwed it up by making it a bbq gas grill. The things some people do

That's Sweet!!! Congrats

NIce!!!

Sweet looking rig, Raul. I'd love to see that in person.

Nice!!

Thanks guys!!

It needs some work. The driver’s floor has a big hole, so I need to replace it as well as both rocker panels and lower door sections, plus I need to fix random rust areas.

The engine has a leak at the timing chain cover and not the oil pan gasket as I thought (already replaced the oil pan gasket). So I will be replacing the taming chain cover gasket soon. Beside the leak, the engine is strong! I took it for a drive on a new closed/empty street at neighborhood, and the truck can go fast! I didn’t floor it all the way because I still need to check the brakes but I was impress.

Sweet!

i like it alot

Do to future wedding expenses I am considering (again just considering, depending on an offer) selling this truck. It will include many parts to restore it that I have collected for example, front bumper, doors, new replacement panels, tailgate, etc. Strong frame and runs really good just needs cosmetic work.

PM me if you are interested

That thing is awesome. Did you ever sell it or are you still working on it?

I still have it. Work is on hold until I get time to work on it. ...and for sale the right offer is made.

that is badass!!!

You seem to have a great company. Care to share, what makes of tires, and the model you use on your jeep. I am currently runningchecking the vast selection of tires on 4wheelonline in the hope that I will be able to find a good deal.

My fave classic truck!
