TJ shared a link from Hemmings on a “This or That” article, meaning if you could only choose one, which one would you choose. Most folks on Hemmings leaned toward the Willys truck. I think I might be more partial to the Chevy (heresy, I know).

Too bad real world market prices dont reflect the reader’s opinions. Nice to hear a group of knowledgable folks recognize our disease is not without cause. Note to wives: SEEEE???!!!
That can’t be a real 1958-1959 Chev pickup…..it actually has complete fenders intact above the headlights !! Until they finally rusted out…..the front eyebrows of those fenders could hold easily 20lbs. of dirt and gravel. I went thru three of those in my formative years…..all great little workhorses with the 235 6cyl. and 4spd with granny low.
Just for a change of pace……I would take the Willys !
the name CHEVROLET is French , that’s a major red flag to most GOOD AMERICANS !!
One thing there is no doubt about, they used beautiful colors back then with real flair. Most cars/trucks today simply wouldn’t look right in many of the colors from the 50’s, sadly.
Willy’s jeep trucks have No leg room. Anything but the Willy’s truck!
I’ve got three jeeps,,, a 46 CJ2A, a 61 CJ3B and a 70 jeep Wagoneer. Also got 1954 International Harvester R 140 (1 1/4 ton) and R 160 (1 1/2 ton) factory 4×4’s. Great trucks, robust and fit a 6’4″ person easily. I love anything with gas and oil… lol.
I like the earlier Chevys better, 1949-52
