Folks Of Interest Willys Owners

My Willys toys. A 40/41 truck and a 38 2 door sedan

 

Willishotrods, that 40 fronted pick up is odd as it has 4 stud wheels (37-39 mechanical brakes) so is it a 40 with an axle swap/drum swap or an earlier pick up with front sheet metal swap. Very cool what ever. Do you have the serial number? JW

 

There is a gentleman in Minnesota with a recent find, '40 pickup...it also had 4 bolt rims, hubs, etc., but I think it did have juice brakes. Willys was known for using stuff up from previous production years...probably one of the reasons for the Model 48 in early 1939, as it was nothing more than a 38 body early in that '39 production year. Back to the '40 pickup...it didn't have original Willys 4 bolt rims all around, and I had some real clean ones from a '38 I had converted to 5 bolt and juice brakes a long time ago...so they found a new home. g-willys

 

Hey all you Willys guys just wanted to wish all a Merry Christmas and Awesome New Year. Keep up the Builds and Hope to see more Great Cars. I think we have a nice turn out of Willys.

 

Cheers Tony and Merry Christmas and a Happy and safe New Year to you and ALL the other Willys owners.

Back at you JW, we maybe a ways away from each other but we do have a common Interest.

 

A bit of Willys murth, myself being eaten by my 37.......31 years ago. JW

 

Merry Christmas to all

 

Wow what a breath of fresh air, who says all Willys have to be gassers.

 

Saw the thread and had to get in on it. Not mine, belongs to a deceased friend of mine. I posted on here a couple of years back. 396/auto/Olds rear......all steel and comes with lots of good spare sheetmetal. The widow is looking for mid $50's

 

Here's a pic of one I bought out of a farmers field in West Georgia near Carrollton. It had been a drag car during it's lifetime and still had an Olds rear end in it.

 

Merry Christmas Tim, I found another one to your liking,hope you enjoy.

 

Great thread, never realized how many Willys cars and trucks were out there. Keep those pics coming.

Interesting hood trim...Looks like strips from a 40 Deluxe added to the '41 hood...nice touch!

Man, I wish I could do my wiring magic on this car. Merry Christmas All!!

 

I've owned this 41 Willys for the past 9 years. Been a great car and enjoyed it a ton. It was an ex. race car owned by Elverne Pfeifer from Kenosha, WI.

 

Owned this MacLanders built '39 Willys sedan for a few years. Street driven, naturally aspirated 406 cu. in. SBC ran 11 flat @ 128 mph!

 

one I used to own

 

40 pick-up I'm building. 331 hemi, gasser style but for the street, all steel

 

Looking good ! I'm building a 38 pickup in the gasser style also, but I'm going with a 40 or 41 front end. Did you build your bed ? You've got the length just right. It looks well proportioned.

 

I had the bed built by mack hils products in moberly; mo. I made it 17" shorter than the original. They make beds for all the antique trucks. Good people and nice work!

 

Ok here is my work in progress yes it will be painted and done eventually I am runnin a 311" sbc with a 4-71 blower through a 833 chyrsler 4-speed into a frankland quickchange the truck runs 12.40 and I drive it to work as long as it's not snowing

 

Where can I find that one piece windshield for $400? I have yet to locate one myself.

Here is a picture of my 52 Willys Aero Lark project.
