Picked up a 1953 truck

[Ozzypointynose]

Picked this 1953 up for a mate a while ago, it still had remanents of the willys overland floor mat ....has any one got a better photo of this mat and did all willys trucks and wagons come with it ?and does anyone reproduce them with the logo?...Sorry for all the questions but you just dont see any original wagons and trucks over here they have all been modded a few other differences i noticed between the 51 and 53 where slightly different speedo markings the push button openers where gone on the 53 it has levers the 53 has a place for a radio as an option the 53 had a timkin rear diff my 51 has dana 44 the 53 has 3 cross bars the 51 has 5 ....from memory the 53 serial number was 453-EB2-1504

Another Willys saved :thumbup: I'm pretty sure Kaiser Willys, Walcks or Willys America probably would have that mat available. I do think it has the Willys print on it.

Good luck on the truck. More pictures please.

Yeh the right hand drive steering conversions must of been done at the factory they are well done everything is there still to make them left hand drive ,like the steering box mount and the shaft for the clutch and brake pedals ..also i think they moved the ignition key ..heres some more photos and also a cj3b that was sitting there also with the steering whell on the wrong side (well i think Right side)

A solid looking truck there Mike.[attachment=0:37uub62x]willys6.jpg[/attachment:37uub62x]

Here' a picture of a similar looking mat in my 47 wagon but I don't have any information on what production years or models they were produced for, or if they are still available as reproductions.

Welcome from abroad! Nice find!

The steering wheel isn't on the wrong side.... It's in the correct location when you cross the international date line......

Atleast that was one thing I learned when I was in the service.
