Title: Willys Truck
Post by: Ryan_M on January 06, 2013, 02:20:15 PM
Anyone want me to lock up my brakes, bang a 3 point turn on a blind hill, and then be late for an appointment? Just park one of these in a nondescript lot when you know I'll be passing by. �Any idea what year it is? �I was relieved that it did not have a "For Sale" sign on it.

Post '53 with the big rear window I think (maybe?)

I'm pretty much obsessed with those trucks...

1957 or later - fresh air heater intake below passenger side turn signal light and 3-bar grill
1961 or older - split windshield
Very, very nice.
Good thing it's not for sale, huh?

I'm sure the same is true here. In my original post I should have been more clear. How about this:

"I'm glad the owner was nowhere in sight so I had no opportunity to find out just what it would take for me to own it".

Ryan I am guilty as well, I have seen this restored Dodge many times in Florida and always stop to admire it. Since it has been parked at a funeral home for years and is operable I got to wondering if it was the preferred last ride of a veteran over the black limo.

Bruce, I like it and believe it would make a fine addition to your fleet.  Just think of how many Jeep parts you could haul around in the back of that thing!  ;D
