UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
“Willys Truck (1960) Sits on a shortened Ford F150 4×4 frame and running gear. Motor is machine shop rebuilt fuel injected 5 liter (302). Trans is Ford AOD rebuilt at Norcal trans. A few of the features are a shortened bed, Mazda pickup rear sliding window grafted in, 280ZX hood inserts, custom headlight housings, minivan back seat serves as the truck bench seat and more. There was a fair degree of customization to the truck, however the motor, except for a necessary .030 bore increase at the machine shop, and the tranny was kept as stock as possible for durability’s sake.
I finished the truck around 5 years ago. I never used it a lot, but 2 ½ years ago it began to sit while I looked for myself a house. Now I’m in my house and it’s parked in my garage going to waste. The truck runs and drives and 4wheels very well but it needs some of the aftermarket mistakes and design mistakes I made, corrected.
There is less than 13,000 miles on the rebuild. Nothing was wrong, I just found that I am more interested in building the stuff than using it.
The paint needs re-done. I cheeped out on the paint and it didn’t survive the snowy winter that it set out side while I finished my garage. It needs a window replaced, replacement aftermarket power windows installed (I have new replacements), and aftermarket windshield wiper motor replaced (I have the new replacement). This should be considered a project truck as it has things to fix. The pic was taken approx 4 years ago.”
I wonder where in Lake County it is. That’s not too far from here, although the sole picture looks like it was taken at higher elevation… somewhere in the Sierra?
