I've never gotten over my fear of working on a carburetor. It seems straight forward enough but the adjustments needed to get the mixture right gets in my head.
One of my favourite Willys, buddy had one in the late '70's and there were many adventures, pretty easy to work on and back then parts were still cheap, loved them and the old Power Wagons, fun vid folks, thanks for sharing!
Hey guys, wonderful seeing a bunch of young'uns tearing in to my favorite ride. Not to criticize any, but it's not a panel wagon, it's a Willy's Utility Wagon. First, it has glass in the sides, and 2nd, it's 4X4. If it was 2WD it would be simply a station wagon. Also, despite what the title says, double check a Willy's VIN registry and see if you can find a build date. Alot of these wagons would sit on a sales lot in to a new year and get THAT year on the title. Seeing a small block Ford was no surprise either. Usually it'd be that or a Chevy. My '60 had a 327 out of a '68 Camero. If the gearing had been different I swear it would have out run my '69 Corvette!! Some 35 yrs later, I have a more finished '59 Utilities Wagon. I noticed some question about parting out or not. For all your trouble, I'd say it's got more value as a running, driving wagon. Rust & all! And no self respecting Wagon that survived the '70's with its Ooga horn ought to suffer such an ignoble fate. All these years later, it isn't the Vette I missed! It was my 'ol buddy the Willys. Value? Running... maybe $5K and up. The more you fix it up, the better it's value. It's shocking, actually how things have gone up, what used to be fairly pedestrian and seen more often. Even in the Pacific Northwest you don't see 'em much. Great to see this video! Keep it alive!! 👍
I get that thing mechanically sound, clean up the interior and the glass and drive it around just like that..... moss and everything..lol. Nice job guys!
Nice job, excellent team work to get this old Willys panel wagon going. Great video camera footage from all the different angles. Good to see the younger generation enjoying these older vehicles.
I had a 53 all wheel dr and it had a Chrysler 6 flathead looked original found out continental rod bearings. Wouldn't fit looked up the numbers had another w the continental
i had a 48 overland with 3 on the tree-i had so much fun getting it running with my dad's help-ran for years-it hauled a lot of deer, put a flatbed on it and haul 30 bales
Los veo en Honduras, ese es el mejor 4x4 que ha existido, hecho para trabajo duro, fui cazador y tuve dos Willys pickup, no necesitaba caminos, íbamos abriendo brechas en el monte, magnífico vehículo.👍👍👍
If its a standard, Put oil in the cylinders and Put it in 4 gear, Pull the truck and pop the clutch, she will free up.I started a Big block ford 460, sat in a 3/4 ton for 31 years, It freed first try.
We would have done more before pulling the transmission, but when we replaced the starter, we realized the bellhousing was full of sand so we wanted to take it apart anyway.
Great vlog guys hope we will see more of this wagon please. so good to see youngsters doing the jobs correctly to well done all. cant wait for the next vid please try to include complete steps of things you do thanks.
I love these Willys Jeeps, I had a 56 and a 59 utility and a Cj2a and Jeepster. I was thinking about buying an old wagon or pickup but they are pricey these days. I enjoyed this video guys keep up the good work.
Reminds me of my first Willy's wagon. I traded a 1950 Dodge pu for it in 1978, I was 27 years old and thought I'd hit the jackpot. On my 5th engine (sbc) converted to a Muncie 4 speed in 82, It's still the jewel of my fleet. Hope you have as much fun with yours as I've had with mine. It's been as far south as Ensinada Mexico, North into British Columbia, East to Dallas - Fort Worth and now lives in Northern California.
Reminded me of working with my buddies on old Morris 1000s and Austins in the 1970s lots of fun! Just subscribed and looking for more content. Way to get stuck in.
I am from India. This is a very very excellent truck. Do be fixing it, and decorating it for festivities. You can get new springs for 150 thousand rupees ( $37). You might look like slum dogs now, but wait until that thing is washed and painted... I am from India.
Yes there will be more on the jeep. We have some decisions to make regarding the drivetrain, however, as whoever swapped the engine used an adapter casting of unknown origin which allows for only two bolts to hold the transmission to the bellhousing. A such I don't want to start dumping money into it until that problem is solved.
Loved the lock washer comment😂 Has an officer on my ship that thought all the lock washers on the engine were broken! Never had seen a lock washer in his life!
That was AWESOME. Reminded me spending time with my two brothers before we even had a license to drive! Must see more! I for sure hit the subscribe button and gave it a BIG Thumbs up!😀❤
Marvel mystery oil! Saturate those pistons and let it work it's magic! Cool rig guy's! I had an old Willies when I was 16, 2nd vehicle I bought, first being a 56 Chevy Apache when I was 15. Both were great old rigs, easy to work on, and that jeep would climb a tree in 4 low! It wasn't a wagon, it was a truck with a heavy duty flatbed and wood racks. Loved that thing! Cool rig, I'd just get it mechanically sound and drive as is!
Nice job guys. Take it from someone who has resurrected my share of cars. Wash the truck. It may not seem important but seeing a clean vehicle will give you more impetus to continue working on it.
Thank you for using a tripod. So many car repair channels are unwatchable due to nauseating handheld shots. It's rare I fine one that I can sit through for more than a few minutes. Thanks for sharing!
I couldn't believe seeing that Suntune temp. gauge . Haven't seen any Suntune gauges since the late 70s . Kmart sold the brand , gauges and dwell/tach and timing lights . The mech oil pressure was notorious for leaking . 👍
Next time we work on it, the first thing we'll do is wash it. Just thought it would be a funny visual; seeing it drive around covered in moss and ferns.
Was going to comment that at the end you should have pressure washed it then sprayed it with some old oil to keep it from rusting more. But then decided that the rust is probably the only thing holding it together. hahaha Cool old wagon.
Nice to see young generation interested in old.machinses. i recommend cleaning out the carb. All that stuff in float bowl will clog jets. Good job!

Fortunately, it looks like many parts are still available through aftermarket sellers online. Thanks for watching.
@@PlateauFarms check the oil, first.
Testament to how user friendly those old things are

We did have more specific footage of the work we did, but it became necessary to edit it out as the video was already ~50 minutes long.
You're Good as Professional that been doing it seance the 70S. Good job Guys!
Great job Lads,,,,,, ready for next project,,,,,,,🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Great work. Like to see the ride with clean windows.
Excelente! Saludos desde Argentina!
Love to see young MAN working on CARS. America IS cars. Whitout a car in America you're DEAD. Love you young MAN.
I just love how the bolts come out.. I had 3 of these... and nothing, short of a blow torch would budge any of them hahaha. Great video guys!

Had 1950 wagon lots of good memories
Great upload!!! Enjoy the content
Amazing how good the valve train looked under the valve covers!!!
I am from India.
This is a very very excellent truck. Do be fixing it, and decorating it for festivities. You can get new springs for 150 thousand rupees ( $37).
You might look like slum dogs now, but wait until that thing is washed and painted... I am from India.
Great video ! 👍
Excellent job. I hope there will be continuity until the vehicle improves!!

Marvel Mystery in the spark plug openings!!
Good job guys after 30 years sitting back to the life😊
Loved the lock washer comment😂 Has an officer on my ship that thought all the lock washers on the engine were broken! Never had seen a lock washer in his life!
Those are great trucks and I hope they go on to restore it more. That car is worthy of resurrection and restoration.
Just a tip for holding a bolt in your socket … put a bit of rag or paper towel around it and put in the socket holds great🤠👍
That was AWESOME. Reminded me spending time with my two brothers before we even had a license to drive! Must see more! I for sure hit the subscribe button and gave it a BIG Thumbs up!😀❤
Seems like it was a fun project!
Quite a challenge but you are well on the way. Thanx 4 a great vid!!!!!! Tom
I am glad to see you guys put the front drive shaft in with all t h ar dirt and grease on the splines!
If you don't pre-grit things, they last too long.
Marvel mystery oil! Saturate those pistons and let it work it's magic! Cool rig guy's! I had an old Willies when I was 16, 2nd vehicle I bought, first being a 56 Chevy Apache when I was 15.

New sub way to go waking that ole gal up love the moss
Great to see you guys taking on the challenge, can you get it roadworthy now that would be cool to see. Does need a lot of work. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🇦🇺
Say, do you have any windex to spray on that olde windshield? 🤔
Nice job guys. Take it from someone who has resurrected my share of cars. Wash the truck. It may not seem important but seeing a clean vehicle will give you more impetus to continue working on it.
Great video guys congratulations from New Zealand 🇳🇿👍
Waiting on the next video. With a few refinements you'll have a million subs
Great job guys!
Awesome build with the fam! Enjoyed the video this morning! Thanks
Cool truck
In high school I wanted a fast convertible; now, older & wiser, a Willys wagon would have been great in those days and now😁
Ed c
Make the willys go fast and you can have both!
Good.job Nice truck Willys good show 😃👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
The Old Ooga Horn Reminds Me Of The Antique Front Crank Automobiles.
Beautiful american station wagon.I like it ,very much.Its a willys 4x4 sw. I ❤ willys sw 🇦🇷🇺🇸
A great revival! with some TLC she could be back onthe road. Onward!
The frame and Drivetrain are in decent shape, it's really just the body that has suffered so much deterioration.
young men you are wonderful every thing was great i salute you for your stamina great generation indeed🎉🎉
Parabéns para toda equipe por o motor funcionar depois de 30 anos parado 👏👏👏👏👏
Stunning sound though🎉
Would be great if you guys could, restore the old girl! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Well I'm not complaining or nothing but you know they do make ratcheting wrenches
My uncle used to have them when I was little. Hope you get it finished up. Don’t know where you’re located, but I’m interested if you don’t.
That is a cool body style. It sets cool. Clean it up and restore it. I sure would.
Love those high performance “cherry bomb” mufflers.
Eu comprei um jeep willys 57 pra reforma
😂son Grosoooooos !!!!! Jajajajajjaj Chapeau chicos !!!!!!💪💪💪💪
Nicerescue! cheers from 🇨🇱👋
Allways disconnect the Gas Tank. First. Than allwaies put some oil in top of pistons. ❤
Thank you for using a tripod. So many car repair channels are unwatchable due to nauseating handheld shots. It's rare I fine one that I can sit through for more than a few minutes. Thanks for sharing!
I couldn't believe seeing that Suntune temp. gauge . Haven't seen any Suntune gauges since the late 70s . Kmart sold the brand , gauges and dwell/tach and timing lights . The mech oil pressure was notorious for leaking . 👍
Ótimo trabalho. Parabéns
Great video, keep up the good work.
Wow Tolle Arbeit :-)
Im still driving my OPEL FRONTERA 2.2 16 V PETROL 1994 4 X 4 ...JUST SIMILAR. 🎉
ACÁ EN ARGENTINA AÚN TENEMOS MUCHAS CON EL NOMBRE DE JEEP IKA ESTANCIERA Y LAS DE CAJAS ABIERTAS ATRÁS "BAQUEANO" ... SALUDOS 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

Cool old rig! Would like to see a cleanup video on it
So Would I And Takin To A Car Show.
Those were big back in the 50s. What year is it.
51 by the title
I am waiting for the jeep wash. Another action I like it so much.
Good job guys!
Thanks!
Lovevthis video❤ thanks for posting the repair to start is a treasure...but
am i the only one saying, " wash me plz"
Next time we work on it, the first thing we'll do is wash it. Just thought it would be a funny visual; seeing it drive around covered in moss and ferns.
I had two of these, both with the small-block Ford. I pretty much ate the entire supply of T90 parts in western Washington with those trucks,
Parabéns pelo carro muito top
Love the chickens
Great video... now I want one!! 🎉
Good job, It’s not often when you see a vehicle that you have to water now and again to keep it patina.
Was going to comment that at the end you should have pressure washed it then sprayed it with some old oil to keep it from rusting more. But then decided that the rust is probably the only thing holding it together. hahaha Cool old wagon.
Your dog sounds pretty stunned. Subbed.
what a fun panel wagon.
With all the grease and dirt on the splines for front drive shaft, will make a really good grinding compound!!!
Terry Thomas's character in "It's a mad mad mad world" drove one of these. Full restoration required.
Funny movie, saw it in a cinema theater full screen. Maybe I'll try to find it on RUclips 😂
Disturbing the peace of the dead is a serious crime in my country.
