I am hoping you will still speek to me.

Well gang I think I have found my next project. Not exactly a Jeep much less a CJ and more than likely will not have much of the original drive train in it when I am done. I have been wanting one of these for quite a while and am pretty excited about it.




It is a 1956 and actually in pretty good shape. I guess I really should look for a good home for the 46 CJ2a.

Is that a Willy's truck?!?!? That's pretty awesome IO, I remember my Grandpa having one of those sitting out in the pasture just rotting away... I always wanted to drive it

Nice, only year to have the 3 uneven spaced grill bars.

 

[caveman]

Nice find. It looks to be in pretty good shape. But I guess you guys in Texas don't have to worry about rotting trucks there. If you're looking to get rid of that 2A, I'd be more than happy to store it for you.

nice truck! love the flattie

 

[Kane]

Sweet! That is on my to own list.

 

[Petescj]

That is sweet. I'd follow the build thread.

 

[PaRenegade]

I'll still talk to ya. I love those old trucks. I fellow who belongs to the same hunting camp as I do is building a 55 Willys truck. I've seen some really sharp finished specimens.

It is at my brothers place in the country, It has been snowing/cold /raining / miserable since I got it but this weekend it will at least be sunny even if it is a bit sloppy so I will spend a little time this weekend getting acquainted. I just hope I can do it justice with my build.

 

[Dolf]

Those have a great look, especially the grill. Post lots of pics in the future.

 

[IOPort51]

I am hoping you guys won't mind when I ask advice on this build, I know it isn't a cj but you guys know tons about 4x4 in general, this is the best, easiest web page to navigate with the most traffic I have found and you are all (for the most part) easy to get along with. I will try to keep the questions on the generic side and I hope the complements will not go to anybodies head.

Can't blame you at all. I been having an itch to get a Willys wagon and do things to it I'd never do to a CJ. Things like a SBC 350, ford Axles, all new running gear, power brakes..... Yes I know how you feel..............

I'm into 4x4 old pickup trucks and that red Willy's is supper nice thanks for sharing the picture

Dude it’s good to hear you are back, start your build thread I would love to watch it, I really like your CJ2a as well. I am going to have to get off my butt and come say hi in person since we are so close, if you need a hand give me a ring I would love to help out

My dad bought one of these in 58 new. Sure wish I had one, they are really cool, also the wagons

 

[Hedgehog]

You and me brother, mine is a 51 Willys Wagon, very similar is many ways. If you haven't already, check out the OldWillysForum board. Knowledge like this board, but a little more rigidly handled by the moderators. My grandfather had a pick-up with a plow rig on it. I drove it before I could drive. ..... hard starting old pile of rust, hated it at the time. Now look at me and my Wagon. Go figure.

I should say actually this is my dads 58, somewhere up by Sedona, I believe, where he liked camping at back then when we lived in Scotsdale. I'll have to checkout that forum.
