New Member in CO

Hey guys, quick introduction. I own/operate a small repair shop in Boulder, CO called Last Chair Customs. Machinist by trade, mechanic, welder, fabricator as well.

Just sold off a few of my Jeeps to start a Willys Wagon build. It's something I've always wanted to build, and it's a bit of a tribute to a friend who was killed before finishing his Willys pickup.

So far I've got a 53 body for parts and a 59 to build, all the 2x4 steel to build a custom frame, a 5.3L LS and 4L60E, Wagoneer D44's with 5:38's and ARB lockers, and a pile of other parts. I should have the 59' body back from sandblasting this week.

Some teaser pics as this build gets rolling

Welcome to the forum-

Welcome aboard. Looks like a good way to honor your friend.

Welcome Zack. Looking forward to your build.

Welcome from another Coloradoan, Zack. Where in Colorado are you at? Your Willys looks to be a decent condition. Post more pics! Pivnic

Should have put the willys body on the Comanche frame and be done with it.

There's no such thing as a Comanche frame, it's unibody like the XJ. I do have a Wagoneer frame, but I'm going build a custom frame from scratch. That's how Asti built his pickup. Plus I got all the steel for about $40 and the neighbors have a frame table I can borrow.

This ones already been butcher up and it's gone. Never even came off the trailer.
