1949 Willys Pickup Project Part 1

[@jameswatson8420]

Trucks like this make one appreciate flat glass!

[@TheToolmanTim]

For sure. That and the abundance of reproduction parts for these trucks is a real plus. I also have a 67 International pickup and parts availability for it are very limited compared to the Jeep.

Looks like a solid start to an awesome project Tim! 😁👍 Nice find my friend, glad to see another upload. Happy wrenching to ya 🔧🔩

[@TheToolmanTim]

Thanks Zane. I think I got a decent truck to start with but I'll find out more as I start digging into it.

[@WhiskeyDents]

What’s up Zane. You are everywhere on yt lol

Looks like a great start to a cool project.

You could knock all that out in 3 weeks...4 tops!!! Looking forward to watching the transformation.

[@TheToolmanTim]

@@Okierover Yeah right. I just posted part 13 last week that marks the end of mechanical/chassis work. I'm starting rust repair on the box now. Things are moving along slowly. My approach is to try to do something on the truck every day. Even on days I don't have much time, I may take 15 minutes to clean up small parts on the wire wheel. Thanks for watching.

[@WhiskeyDents]

Very cool!

[@tumbleweed_garage]

Of course there's no tailgate, ugh! Mine didn't have one either. Your truck has much less rust than mine but at least I have more usable glass.

What part of Minnesota do you like? I’m in DL

[@TheToolmanTim]

I'm located near Annandale. I love this part of the state with a good combination of lakes, rolling hills, woods and farm land. I'm only about 20 minutes from one of the best car shows in the state (Gearhead Get Together in Maple Lake).

@@TheToolmanTim nice I lived in Waite park for 10 years. It’s very nice over there. I’ll have to check that car show out.
