I had a ‘61. Main difference was the 1 piece windshield. Had a flat-head 6 and 4WD. Loved that truck. Think I sold it for $1200 in the mid ‘80s.

This one was in my area several years ago. I wanted to buy it but the owner had no plans of selling it at the time. Not sure of the year. Wish Chrysler would consider selling a modern version of the Willys truck, regular cab with 6 or 7' bed. That would be ideal for me.

Took my Gladiator in today to have the windows tinted and saw this. I thought I would share.

Well it goes to show you Jeep's hold there value ;) to bad someone pulled out the front axle, I bet it was someone's project and moved on to something else or other.

They came in 2WD. Or maybe you are pulling our leg.

Some did, but I think that it was a project someone else started,. I see one I would like to have near where I live in ruff condition but a 4×4 one. they wouldn't sell. It's a static display of the business. Many that you can find are 2 wd version if in good shape and a project of someone. I've seen a few that are car show / trailer only or Sunday driver vehicles that are in that good of shape. Many got modified in to "roadsters" one of the things that they would do is remove front axle, then drop it down with old school beam axle. Some of the body panels and few other things look to be replaced. Would be a great project if have time, money and shop for it. I will throw out a old school body repair thing before Bondo and fiberglass filler... babbet (lead) the reason body spoons was heavy and metal help with shaping and cooling off the lead. Oh the forgotten tricks of the 40s, 50s and 60s. That is where having a magnet when checking out old cars came from too. ;)
