What exact model is that @drewcnit? I also love the original 60s Gladiator design!

Not 100% sure on the year as the owner wasn't right next to it when I was there but it's definitely a Willys Wagon model, best guess is late 50s/early 60s model. They stopped production in the U.S. of that model in 1964 if Google is right.

Love that one as well, have you seen the retro grille swaps on the new gladiators? Started off as a JK swap kit, but they are building it for the JL/JT as well -

The link has tons of pictures and someone obviously put some time, effort, and money into this project.

Not a Jeep anymore, but very cool.

Yeah, the Willys wagons and pickup trucks are cool.
The truck cab can be a little cramped for "modern man", though.

Sadly I had to sell my pickup. Didn't have the money to finish restoring it.
