So, here is the deal guys.
Alot of people get heartburn about tearing up a stock Willys to put in a modern drive train.
I understand that point of view, and I will admit, I feel a little guilty about the thought of it myself.
So here is what I'm thinking. I have a stock 1950 Willys Pickup( with a flatbed, apperently the orginal bed failed long ago.). The engine is apperantly not the orginal engine that came with the truck, but it is still a 134F, just like the orginal. My plan is to remove the entire drivetrain, and put a modern drive train under the truck.
If anyone has plans to restore a Willys to stock condition, and has an already modified Willys pickup they would like to trade for this one, let me know. I figure as long as I put the offer out there, I won't feel as bad about chopping this one up come the summer. She ran last summer(but leaked alot of oil) until the starter quit.
I'm just posting this on the general forum, to get some feedback and thoughts on the idea?
