Franken-Willys - Help ID this mongrel truck!

Found this for sale somewhat locally and clicked the link hoping to find a real Willys truck only to see these images pop up - any idea what cab the Jeep sheetmetal has been grafted to? Maybe the dash, window opening sizes/shapes, drip rail design or belt line styling are good hints?

Oh, and sorry for the pic quality - these are what the seller provided.

If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate the help.

Thanks,
Steve

 

the base is a Willys CJ2A, no clue on the cab, nor the engine mod.

 

The piece of the dash that's left almost makes me think it's a 46 Chevy cab

 

Chevy

 

looks like my buddys 46 dodge truck dash.



and the beltline and window looks the same too.

 

I was gonna say Dodge too, but you beat me to it LOLZ

 

The front fenders, grille and hood are identical to what was on my 47 Willys truck, the cab looks similar, but I cannot remember if I had the bar in the middle of the windshield or not. I would say that the bed looks like a cut off of either a mail jeep or an old military jeep...is it really that short?

 

Oddly, that thing could be factory military.

 

Somebody wanted a winter top for their Jeep and instead of buying one from Willys they cut up the old Dodge truck with the blown motor in the back 40. I've seen that done before in some old photos.

The hood extension makes me think it's had a motor transplant, too.

 

It’s an abortion
You’re not seriously considering this ???

 

hahaha you are forgetting that *some* people think International trucks were used for traditional hotrods

</fang>

 

overchopping it, lowering it and making it flat black won't even fix that one... You could try the red wheels...

 

No, not considering, was expecting it to be a real Willys truck, not the farm-built unit that it turned out to be.

I think it has it's own unique charm, it's a vehicle built for function, not for looks.

 

hack job---not much value---if someone wants a Jeep, they won't like it.......if they want a Truck, they won't like it. Best use would be on a ranch or rock climbing perhaps.

 

I seen a old Land rover done up the same way in a old picture,it looks like a cheap and easy way to get a closed cab for those harsh winters.

 

That's just oddily cool.

 

interesting. lots of good vintage jeep parts there if nothing else.
