TL;DR: I used the bones of an old bed to build a new one. I purchased a bed floor from Classic Enterprises that is well constructed, looks nice, and is affordable, but the ribs are not an exact replica. Like many Willys Pick Up owners, I have long been hungry for a new bed. Being a restoration...

Just popping in here to too a little introduction. I currently have a '48 Willys Truck with an F-head in it and currently 4x4. (was originally a 2x4 with an L-head engine). Just this last weekend I acquired a ‘49 Jeepster and then ended up getting a 2nd ‘49 Jeepster for parts (2nd one is on a...

I'm working on fitting the cab back to the frame and for the life of me I cant remember what these two brackets are for. I've got the cab mounts figured out (thanks to Vintage Don), but these have me stumped. Embarrassed to say I dont have a picture of these before I took it apart. Any ideas...

Morning all, my name is Tom and I am currently starting a restoration on a 54 Willys Pickup. I picked it up about 3 months ago and going to start tear down in another couple of weeks. PLANNING on keeping it as original as possible. So any advice would be greatly appreciated!! I am normally a...

Hello, I have been looking on the web info about the stock paint of the tailgate of a 1948, the ones that came with the W but I can't find an accurate answer. I have this tailgate ready for the decals but I'm not sure how to paint it: My idea for the truck was to go with the Potomac gray and...
