UPDATE: Still Available
“I have decided to sell my 49 Willys pickup before winter arrives. This little two wheel drive is quite rare and came from Arkansas fairly rust free. We stripped everything down to the frame but did not take the cab off the frame (didn’t have to) and chassis saved the frame. All the mechanicals gone over, new brakes, recored rad, relined gas tank, rebuilt carb and lots of new chrome (front and rear bumper and hood spear ) All new glass from local glass shop and all new rubber for all windows and seals. We pulled the engine (painted head and block) and installed new rings and did lap job on valves. Purrs like a kitten now !!! New clutch and pressure plate with throw out bearing at same time. The king pins and front I beam are great and goes down the road straight as a pin. Brand new 16 inch tires also. Real sharp, professional paint job a couple months ago cost me almost $5000 alone. Professionally recovered original seat also. New aftermarket gauges. We had to put some patches on both floors but were only pin holes to start. Seam sealed patches also. There is very little bondo on this truck !!!!!! There was no rot !!!! Floor start, Interior is all original with the stock door panels, etc. New door handles I could go on and on with all that has been done to this truck. Serious inquires only please, as this is one sharp little truck. It has the three speed on the floor (rare as most were on the column ) I have the original title but not back in my name (haven’t sent in yet) Have another antique plate and title also If interested please email me or you can call me 814-328-2879 This truck and bed and side steps, etc, etc is totally rust free and should not be driven in the winter months. It is THAT nice. It has not been out in the rain since I got it done It’s not perfect, but for someone that really wanted to take it to the next level, you will not find a nicer 49 There is no e-brake hooked up and the heater is not in it (have a nice one to put in that has been recored Please, only serious buyers that really love willys pickups I don’t have internet where I live and have to go to the local library so calling is the best way to reach me thanks.
