    ^^^ I don't think I've ever seen a photo of that car, but there's a brief shot of it in the Jackson Bros' Gasser video. What's ironic is the announcer calls it a Hudson, perhaps because of the Hornet name on the car. Pretty obvious it's a Willys sedan.

    I see Speedway Motors list a 44", 46", 48" and 50" straight axle. Which is the best width to use under a 41 Willys as they ship worldwide??? What is the best universal rear springs to use as i plan on running a 354 Hemi. Cheers Sammy

    Depends whether you have spindle mount wheels or bolt on wheels, also spindles matter also, I believe the Willys axle is 48" between kingpins, someone will confirm i'm sure.

    My car has a 48" axle with spindle mount wheels and 32 spindles and I reckon the width is just right.

    Awesome! Much higher, and you would have been dragging the bumper. You may need some wheelie bars.:D

    Hey 440 Deluxe, welcome to the 37-42 Willys thread. Are you the guy I sold my 1940 Blue Sedan to? I was thinking the parts might be on your blue coupe? Your 40 coupe is super nice, I seen it in person.

    Dave.

    Thats Paul Balash's old Willys that was stolen from a hotel parking lot in Bowling Green Ky a few years ago never to be found again. He built a new all steel coupe to replace it.

I lost a whole rig with a 63 ss nova in 89 never recooped anything, just finished it... About 25 k in 80,s money.......2 days later gone ...didnt even get a chance to put insurance on it.. That really hurts . Makes you look at your friends and people differently....rumor was probably someone who new me ?:(:mad::(
