“This 1947 Willys Jeep belonged to my father, who recently passed away. He has had it since 1960. He used it for hunting. He stored it in 1971. In 2013 he decided to get it running again. When he bought it, the original flat head “Go Devil” engine was replaced with a 1953 F-head “Hurricane” engine. Has hole cut in hood because Hurricane engine is taller than Go Devil engine.

We took it to a collector car shop in Sacramento, California, to start the project. We had all the brake components changed. Master cylinder, all brake lines, all brake parts, wheel cylinders, drums etc. It has new fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel pump and rebuilt carb. Valve job with all new valves, guides, etc. Converted to 12 volt system. All new bulbs and light fixtures in rear. New 12 volt alternator, and 12 volt gear reduction starter. New water pump, rebuilt radiator. Converted to positive crank case ventilation.

All new steering box, steering column and steering wheel. Recovered seats. Engine starts and runs nice, but smokes a little when driven. Bottom end of engine probably needs attention. We have suspension parts, leaf springs and shocks, still in boxes. This project still needs to be finished. We are looking to get back a fraction of the money invested in this project. Needs lots more work. If you have questions, I will try to get answers. The paperwork and plates on this vehicle are current.”

    As if we couldn’t tell it had an f head, they spelled it out on the hood box. Interesting gun racks. They don’t look very sturdy. That’s one big foot
