Photos from the 2019 Great Willys Picnic

• CATEGORIES: Event, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The heater looks like it was perfect for this years Great Willys Picnic. Thanks to Craig, we’ve got some photos.

He also wanted to mention some details about the “Camel Towing” pickup: Under the hood was a 4 litre engine from a Wrangler, converted to carbs. Except for a small cut in the firewall and a notch into a cross-brace, you’d think the engine was original equipment. He even retained the engine’s cooling fan, without having to switch to an electrical fan set up. I thought I took a picture of the engine compartment, but apparently did not. He did have to raise the suspension a few inches to clear the bell housing without having to resort to re-doing the transmission tunnel, but raised pickups are so common that no one batted an eye at it. All in all, it was very cleverly done.

Book — The First Overland: Four Wheels & Frontiers

• CATEGORIES: Books, Trips This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE II: Coincidently, Daniel Strohl published a story today discussing the “Last Overland” journey of 1955 which went from London to Singapore.

UPDATE: After five years of occasional searching, I finally snagged a copy of this book from the US. It’s more of a detailed travelogue than I’d expected, with specifics on the mileage and other details from the trip. It was a quick, fun read.

From the original November 2, 2013, post:  It is 1957 and you are stuck in Singapore fighting on behalf of the British government.  You are ready to leave.  You want to get home.  How do you get there?  Maybe you should buy yourself a junked MB and drive home? It’s only 13,000 miles …..

To add to the fun, with the exception of a school wall map, you have no maps of any kind (though you do have a compass and protractor), let alone mileage markers or directions.  And, it’s likely that gas stations will be few and far between.  Finally, you will likely encounter various factions of people not so friendly to you and your buddy.  Now, that sounds like an adventure!

And, it was a true adventure for Roy Follows and Noel Dudgeon, starting as two Colonial Police officers as part of a force battling Chinese Communists near the end of the Malayan Emergency.  Ready to head home, the pair bought an MB in February of 1958 and begin a long journey home full constant brake-downs, broken parts, and other obstacles.  Here are some pics of from the book, included a compiled map from the back and front covers.

“‘Red Hills Rods & Classics’ is very proud to offer you this ultra-rare, rotisserie restored 1955 Willys Kaiser 2-Door Sedan Delivery Wagon 4×4! The recipient of a 3-year no-expense spared, nut & bolt rotisserie restoration of the highest level, I feel safe to say it is most likely the finest example of its kind in the country! Finished in its factory correct President Red / Palm Beach Ivory, I think it’s also safe to say that it features the best-looking color combination available in 1955.

The wagon was in excellent original condition before the rotisserie restoration and was basically all there in its original form w/ absolutely no rust & no body damage whatsoever. Every single component inside & out was disassembled by hand and the body was placed on a rotisserie. The body panels are laser straight all of the way around, and the President Red / Palm Beach Ivory paint was polished to show-quality condition w/ a brilliant shine throughout. The bumpers & small pieces of brightwork were re-chromed are look ‘as new’. Every single component on the truck was completely restored or replaced w/ factory NOS parts. She sits on the original painted 15” Willys America 5-lug steel wheels, wrapped w/ Denman 7.5 x 15 tires. You can walk around this wagon a hundred times and not find a bad angle or a single distraction. It is as close to ‘flawless’ as you can get, period. The undercarriage is as nice as it is on top w/ every single component completely restored or replaced w/ factory NOS parts (see undercarriage photos).

Open the driver’s door and you will find a beautiful tan interior restored to ‘factory new’ condition throughout. All of the chrome trim pieces on the dash have been completely restored and all of the lights, blinkers and factory original gauges are in perfect working condition. The original steering wheel, factory original seats, headliner, painted dash, door panels, door handles & cranks, shifters, Hurst hardware, etc. are all in 100% ‘as new’ condition. No corners were cut and no stone was left unturned making sure that everything looked ‘factory fresh’ from front to back. Open the rear doors and you will only find more of the same, including glossy red paint throughout w/ beautiful oak cargo bed strips & matching spare wheel & tire. Even the screws & washers on the oak cargo bed strips are absolutely ‘flawless’. Please look closely at the photos and I think that you will agree that this is the finest ’55 Willys 4×4 Wagon that you have ever seen in your life!

Pop open the hood and inside the beautifully detailed engine bay you will find the fully-rebuilt #’s matching Continental ‘Super Hurricane’ 226ci 6-cylinder motor dressed in its factory correct colors, w/ all of its factory original components, including the oil-bath air filter, Carter 2V downdraft carburetor, mechanical fuel pump, 6-volt electrical system, 6-volt generator, Autolite tar-top battery, Fram external oil filter, etc. The motor is linked to the original Borg-Warner T-90 3-speed manual transmission w/ original Dana 18 transfer case, which feeds power to the original Dana 44 rear axle (4.88 gears), and the original Dana 25 front axle. The Warn locking hubs up front were added during the restoration. This amazing 1955 Willys Delivery Wagon 4×4 runs & drives beautifully, but it is truly the kind of vehicle that should be placed into a museum or high-end show truck collection.”

“This listing is for my 1945 Willys Jeep, I’ve had it for a little over a year and while it is a fun little Jeep I’ve hardly used it so the time has come to let it go so someone else can enjoy it.

Here’s a list of what it has going for it.

– Registered, Street Legal, with Year Of Manufacture Plate & Clean Title
– New 350 SB Crate Engine from Summit Racing with roughly 100 miles on it.
– Original Steel Willy’s Tub
– New Brake & Clutch master
– New Brake Drums & Shoes
– New Brake Hoses & Lines
– New Axle Bearings & Seals
– Original Willy’s running gear wth 5:32 gears
– Custom 16 gallon Stainless Steel Fuel Cell
– Custom Flowmaster Exhaust System with shorty headers
– 8,000 Electric Winch
– Custom Front and Rear Bumpers (Front with winch and rear with hi-lift jack)
– Battery relocated to rear
– Roll cage
– 33″ Off-road Tires
– Spare tire mount on back with 33” tire
– Saginaw 4-speed Transmission with Hurst Shifter (Saginaw needs new seals)
– Custom Stainless Steel Instrument Cluster

It is obviously not a show Jeep, I have used it as a trail/camping Jeep and even though it is registered & street legal it’s better suited for riding trails. If you have any questions I will do my best to answer them. It is being sold as is and as pictured. I’ll consider all offers so feel free to take a shot.

Working and in like NOS condition. Uses engine coolant to produce heat, electrical to run the blower fan – 2 speeds Hi/Low. Includes the switch, resistor and a small Douglas connector wiring harness.

    Vietnam era, typically found in M38A1, M151 Mutts, and various military trucks.

    Its 60+ years old, and looks to be in working order – I have no way to test it. Obviously sold as is. This radio measures 15″ x 6 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ in size. Weighs in at 70lbs. Be great prop for a military restoration.”
