“This is one of the cleanest old GPW’s you will find. Clean CA title and ready for the next parade, event, or trips to town. Runs, drives, shifts, and stops very well. This vehicle is ready for your finishing touches, make it the rig you want it to be, all the hard stuff is done. The body is excellent, my hunch is that it may have been rebodied 30+ years ago. Comes with many extras including two Ford script original seat frames. I have too many vehicles and can’t keep them all. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to own a Ford Jeep. Available to show this weekend. Please don’t make texted offers, come take a look.”

1950-truck-dumpbed-nova1 1950-truck-dumpbed-nova2 1950-truck-dumpbed-nova3 1950-truck-dumpbed-nova4

“Think of this as a farm truck. It’s not pretty, but it’s pretty functional! I’ve owned this Willys for 9 years. I had it on the road for the first couple years but didn’t drive it many places (35mph) so just used it around the property and to push snow. A couple years ago I quit pushing snow so the Willys was just sitting. It’s time to go to a new owner.

The Willys always ran really good, so I spent some time on it to get it up and running: new battery, new plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor (points are good). It started right up and sounds as good as ever. It’s been converted to 12V with alternator. The dump bed has a belt driven hydraulic pump that feeds two lift cylinders. It’s pretty beefy.

Tate’s “New” Ford GP

2019-05-02-slc-tate-ford-gp11-lores

Tate and I behind his Ford GP. On the right of the pic is his Willys MB.

Ann and I are In Salt Lake City through Saturday morning, then we’ll be heading down to Moab for our Sunday trip on the White Rim Trail.

On Thursday in Salt Lake we met up with Tate, a young man who now owns a Ford GP to go along with his Willys MB. He recently bought it out of Wyoming.

The former owner had been inundated with offers after listing it for sale (no surprise there). He’d owned it for fifty years and wanted it to go to someone who would treasure it for another fifty years. Tate assured him he was the guy, so the owner sold it to him. Given Tate’s passion for jeeps and learning, I have no doubt the owner made a good decision. (By the way, Tate’s looking for a windshield .. if anyone knows of one, feel free to email me at d@ewillys.com and I’ll forward the info to him).

After we spent some time checking out his GP, we took it for a drive. Then, unexpectedly, Tate asked if I wanted to drive it some. Let’s just say he didn’t have to ask twice! There’s a video on Facebook of me returning in the driver’s seat. Continue reading
