1947 CJ-2A Reno, NV **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7400

It’s got a few upgrades, including (I think) the hudson steering upgrade.

Willys in great shape. Inherited from 1st owner who bought it in 47 (first year civilian model). Mid 60’s upgrades: V6 Buick, larger drum brakes, “modern steering setup”, locking hubs, Warn overdrive, custom made two door aluminum cab and mounted tool book, repainted original red. Other accessories, roll-bar, tow-bar, aux. gas can removable rack, “dash board” enclosed gun-rack/storage area. Mid 2005 a McQ High school shop class upgrade began, including rebuild of engine at AIMS Machine Shop, transmission pulled and all gaskets replaced, new alternator, starter, water pump, boiling out radiator and fuel tank, total professional rewiring, new “original equip” seats (all three), shocks and a lot of elbow grease. Still needs windshield replacement (gaskets in tool box), exhaust system replacement, new tires, and speedometer repair. This has never been in an accident and garaged most of it’s 67 years! It’s not a modern 4-wheeler I didn’t like going over 45 even in overdrive. It’s nice and narrow and climbs anything you can imagine, Granny is ridiculously low.”

1955 Truck Medford, OR **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Willys Trucks • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:   **SOLD** Was $1500.

This truck includes a set of original ‘summer hubs’ from Warn.

I just purchased 5 Willys Jeep trucks for a good price with the caveat that they be removed asap. Unfortunately, I only have room to keep one, so I’m thinning the herd, and this truck is by far the most restorable of the bunch. I would keep it but don’t want to butcher this truck with a diesel motor and 5-speed as it is so original and unmolested. Instead I’ll use one of the others that has already been modified. This 1955 truck hasn’t ran in years, and the title is lost so the purchaser will have to deal with DMV. 
The odometer says 44,000 miles and based on the condition of the truck, it may be accurate. It has surface rust where the sun has burned the original Julip Green metallic paint, but has never had body work or bad rust. It does have a few minor dings. The bed is straight and rust free, and the tailgate is straight as well. The rear window is broken and the passenger side has a crack. Don’t know about the drivers widow as it is rolled down and I haven’t messed with it. It has the 226 six and appears to be complete with the exception of the air filter. The drivetrain is completely stock-it still has the original wheels and hubs. The floorboards are solid, no rust holes or gaping cuts from poorly done transmission swaps. 
It still has the glass running lights and chrome bezels. In the pics some of the original gauges are missing, but I believe that I have them in a box. The original front chrome bumper is decent as well.

I’ve been watching Craigslist for the last five years since buying my 1948 Willys truck, and have seen dozens of Willys trucks come and go. They are not rare, but I’ve only seen a few that were this original and unmolested. The vast majority get beat to death hauling firewood or concrete, or worse, get turned into “extreme” 4x4s… 

Update!!! There are four gauges in the dash that are not original. Fairly well done, just not original. The motor does not turn freely. I casually tried to turn it by the belt but it did not turn. If I am reading it correctly, the VIN number indicates that this truck is a 1955. This truck also has a set of vintage Warn “summer hubs” in the original “Warn” box sitting on the original bench seat. Bonus.”
