looks great! the way it is , in orinal look. no chopping the roof or big 22 rims or slamming it!.
I had '50 Willy's pickup in my 20s. I made a lot of money with it. It had a 232 AMC straight 6 in it. The rest was stock. I hauled firewood, fence posts and stays for barbed wire fence materials for ranches.
I don't know... This truck is extremely cool as it is!!! I would not mess with it. Just make it better for operating in town (better tires, brakes, fix what is not working, etc). Someone has already made some changes to it, looks like wheel spacers, seats, the V6 motor. But the character is still there. The V-6 motor, if it is a Buick motor, is it the motor that ended up in the Jeepster? That would be the Dauntless 225 Buick V6, 160 HP, 235 ft-lb, and odd fire.
Can't wait for this one! Love old Willys!
In my opinion I would leave it. The V-6 Buick was a nice swap as they started to use these engines in 65 and they have 150 HP and work well in the truck. I did a swap like this in a 64 Willy truck. Check and see the gear ratio, mine had 5: 36 in it I think but with 35 inch tires she could run at high way speeds ok. Just clear coat it cause the body is nice, throw a set of 33" tires under it and enjoy it. I would even leave the interior as it is but fix the broken glass. These trucks look mean as they are. I had an original 62, wish I could post pictures because that truck looked aggressive. Have fun with it and enjoy.
Sure is a cute little truck Workhorses back in the day, those little Buick Dauntless v6s are diehards too. Very stout engines Torque Monsters!
I'd says just fix it up a bit, add heat/get it working, some nice tires and redo the suspension you'll be golden.
The Reason how the V6 came about is it was first made for NASCAR and went on from there to being used in automobiles Got one in my Pontiac.
Do an old school lifted truck type theme. Old school rims and kc lights, bright colored shocks and chrome here and there. 4bt Cummins would be an amazing swap on it. Old school lifted trucks rolling some coal. 👌🏼👍🏼
Zack Gray yesss
Sell it to me and leave it alone. Let it live the way it was born.
Prerunner. Put a mild lift in, 3-6 inches, and 35s, but leave the suspension soft(ish.) Leave the exterior mostly stock, maybe black out the grille/lower portions (underneath), and if you add lights, make them sutdle (on the bumper? behind the grille?), don't slap on light bars and ruin the look. Then swap in a newer crate motor, so that it's driveable, fast, fun, and cool as hell. Think about what you'll use it for, mild offroading (not mudding), backroad fun and sunday drives. Add little touches you feel are needed, but I say give it a mild lift and make it fast. You'll have the most fun/get the most use out of it that way.
It won’t let me post a picture, but I put mine on an s10 chassis with Camaro 350, 5 speed, camaro rear end, slammed to the ground, chopped the top 7”, corvette tires & wheels, it’s almost done!
I have a friend who’s dad built plenty of old Willys pick ups, One of them is a 1952 original frame small block 350 Chevy engine and 1 ton Chevy axles he also has a 55 Willys pick up sitting on a 80s era Chevy short wide chassis small block 350 turbo 400 and 1ton/three-quarter ton axles.
if you keep that frame, put some 33s on 17" oldschool steelies with a not to big lift would look dope
Yeah left it.& use the 1ton 4x4 frame under neith it to beef it up more just add the identification plates repoped riveted back on the vehicle all matching numbers to builders title setup.& cleared& clean title& information for it.
I have a 53 willys truck, I mounted mine on a 84 chevy 1/2 ton 4x4 frame with a 305/turbo 350 trans, dana 44ft axle, dana 60rear axle with a Detroit locker . It has 33x12.50x16.5 Goodyear Wrangler tires , Interior has bucket seats and console from a 2000 Dodge Dakota.
Big tires and paint job
Low and fast less complicated and way more bad ass for that type of truck
Put it on 33s keep the v6 change the brakes give it a tune up and drive it
its an awesome vehicle!
Keep it as original as possible, if you want it for lite off road and pleasure use, decent radio, A/C-Heater, do take it apart clean and paint frame, body panels, replace weather stripping, have the engine gone through, rebuild, repair, as required, check differentials, replace Gear OIL and seals upgrade all lubricants to Synthetic oil and grease and maybe Power Steering, the more complex you make a Simple Truck of Simple Design, the worst it will be, when it breaks down
Mine had a v6 Buick in it to.
Hey I'd try some marvel mystery?oil in the fuel& oil topped off.
3 L Dodge Eco Diesel(30+ mpg) newer 5 spd with married transfer case, newer diffs with disc brakes. Leave the body and keep it about that height, add slightly taller more aggressive tires!
High and mean 👌🏽👌🏽😜
keep it reasonably stock but an old school build like old kc lights bright springs axles and shocks and lift it but still take it off road don't rice it
Box the frame, find a GMC 478ci V6, a SM420 transmission, a divorced NP205 with 3 to 1 LoMax gears and a twin stick mod. GM 14 bolt rear end, Dana 60 up front, 35 inch super swampers, 4.56 gears, & TrueTracs front & rear. Stock looking steel rims painted to match the body.
Have you done a jeep like this before? I'm looking for pointers on a 50 jeepster
Do old school and restore it. When u customize something you make it worth less all stock all the way probably turn 40k when u turn 28 years old
I think you may be able to put some 33's on it stock. But if I had to guess it probably shares all the suspension components of the Cj. I would either level it stock and put bigger tires on it or find a 2.5" lift with 33's or 35's. If I'm right about it using the same parts as a cj just on a different frame you should be able to find parts.
What I would do is brace the frame, put dana 60 front with 14 bolt rear, lift it, add bigger tiers(not huge), and put an automatic transmission in it.
Small block chevy might bolt up to tgat trans fairly easy too many people do cummins swaps
His 1952 Willys pick up is sitting on 42 inch tall tires the 55 has 33 12x12.50’s on it
Bad ass project just lq9 motor swap and 24'' staggerd mud tires.
That a sexy as truck!!!! Big tires like 40's dana 60 turbo diesel engine. Like a cummins! 6 speed clear coat outside omg!!! Im buying one lol! But im too broke lol
Put a Detroit 453T in it that’d be a unique build.
leave it pretty much the way it is, upgrade to larger brakes from a later Wagoneer, add an overdrive & have fun with it the way it is
there is one sitting in klamath falls on washburn glass broken windshield is set up on a truck frame to be high and mean next to salvage yard. think is for sale it just sits there lookin' bitchin'
A lifted rat rod would be fairly unique!
Lift, 4.0 or 360 or go with an s-10 frame swap and keep the v6.
Kinda lookin forward to a lifted rig just take the wheelbase and compare it to a more modern truck preferably one with parts that would be readily available just have to probably make body mounts... Diesel maybe?
I'd put a carb'd 4.0 with a 5speed maybe dana 44's front n rear n like 33 or 35's nuttin to big just a fun cruiser
4wd? Raise it, period!
Well for one its already lifted. 2. you can already fit 35's youll need different axles and power steering and upgraded brakes.
Yeah I was gunna say my dads 63 with the one peice with the one peice windshield and hurricane inline 6 sits a little lower and clears 33s
I have been looking for one of these but there is none
Keep the paint, do a clean simple build with a lift and some beefy tires would look rad. But make the interior badass.
I say drop a inline 4 Cummins engine in it and swap frame on it and put bigger wheels and tires on it like you said. That's what I have seen is something like that.
Where is part 2 at?
Willys truck on a Jeep LJ frame and running gear.
do a mix of both
Keep it original. Worth more i mean hey its a classic after all.
First of all, don't paint it ! Make it safe, (steering, disc brake upgrade, not overly big tires, and a nice lift) and just drive it as is...If you're gonna go off roading, a PowerTrax locker in the rear axle will get you through almost anything...Be sure you get a locker !
P.S....the 1950s steering and drivetrain is just fine...if everything is rebuilt and in good shape....Frame swaps are a lot of work and you'll spend more time fixing it than driving it.
Did you do more.videos of it
got a 49 all original take it back or well make it like you want mine will stay original thought of it as a lowrider but heck has the 4 wheel drive will put my cheech and chong booble heads in the back window put a sunvisor on it. found it for 1,500 here in Klamath Falls,OR two years ago runs great needs a fuel line glass,upostery, those turn signals under headlights replace the bumper up front is intence kinda like yours but heaver gauge and a little taller stock hit something with this puppy right. otherwise is orange and paint chipping and people like it the way it is me myself would at least like to see it in primer thought of a star on the door od green at one time but don't know yet found one here on youtube white mine is the same paint code.plus wanted my wheels red with beauty rings so well got to see today what my truck would look like stock
The music is a little weird but the truck is cool.
Within the first 2 seconds of this vid, my first inclination was to leave it rat roddish
Slam it small block or Cummins swap clear coat it too keep the patina wide stance it out kinda no chamber wide rear tires good stack or diamond stack in the bed 5 speed get steel bucket seats let them sit out for a while let em rust a bit do something cool with the dash
...restore it to showroom stock...experience what it was like to buy a new one in 1950...
See if you could put the body on a 4✖4 s10
where is part #2
It's already lifted just put bigger tire and a factory overdrive...
You should sell it to me
airbags
What ever you do don't put GM Garbage in it.
low and fast or tall and mean.. Why not both? put a lift on it and put some good 33's or 35's under it and drop in a v8
i say swap in a 12v a lift and bigger tires
Similar platform that gravedigger was founded
Chevy k5 blazer frame i heard works. 4bt cummins would be nice too.
I have a 1948
put it red with big tires and then tint the windows
Willy friesen rice
Use a Wagoner frame with right side drive front axel. Gives you power steering + you can get disc brakes and rear 44 axel. Better turning radius. You can use a 360 or a 400 and automatic. Automatic are always better for off-roading and the turbo 400 is bullet proof. You want a rocket ship, put a Cadillac 500 in there. Only a little heavier than a small block Chevy and almost the same physical size. Tons of torque + hp. Much much better engine than a big block Chevy and a lot lighter. I have never wasted my time on big block Chevys. Kaddys
Its a survivor why ruin it by modding it like everyone elses shit?
It sits perfect. 5 omix repop Willys Combat wheels. Paintem WW2 od green or flatblack. Full set of tall skinny 215 85 16 Mud tires like Cooper stt pros. Detail the hubs peaking thru the wheels.
Find Herm the overdrive guy. Overdrive that pig and lock rights in both axles. What axles does it have? You may want to one piece axle full float convert the rear if its an early D44 in rear. Herms got that covered as well.
Mount it on an 80's k5 frame with 1 ton axles with some boggers and paint satin black
keep the body original
Why do you need anyones input on what to do with it? Sack up and make decisions ask for help along the way. Since you asked dont do anything “ratrod”, build some arm and leg muscles and use it the way it is
Leave as is.
Cummins swap and lift on 35s
Jack it up on one of those A frames.
I have a 51 with a 350, it is impossible to cool. If you do a frame swap use a Blazer. and the V6 is your best bet
I have a 50 Jeepster. I'd love to get in touch if you know something about the best upgrade path.
Bigger radiator to match motor.The right fan for motor or two small electrical fans.Had a 58wagon with 283vett engine.I kept the original radiator and original fan from jeep motor.Would run a little warm going up the mountains but never got hot.Hope this helps I sure miss mind.
Wagon wheels and put a383 stroker or a Cummins with a Allison
