I started driving, when I was 12 in a 48 Willys Jeep on my grandmothers farm in the early 60’s. This brings back so many memories. DO NOT, replace that motor with a modern one , like so many are commenting that you should do, leave the GO DEVIL 4 in it . It has that distinctive sound that only a Willys would make. Cudos to you and your buddy for bringing it back!!

Glad I found this! Brings back memories for me too! I remember riding around in dads Willys at the huntin lodge in northern Mich in the early 60's. I think it was a 48 too. Paint was dark blue. We would pour a little gas in the carb and it would always start.

During droughts, he'd load the truck with 55 gallon drum, go down fill it with water and crawl back up some old fire roads back up to his property. No problems. talk about a blast from the past! They are some tough old trucks.

My step son and I bought a 56 Willly CJ that had been parked in a backyard for 13 years and still had chains on all 4 wheels from last hunting trip. Paid $750 and towed it home. We took it apart painted it, got the broken frame welded and since he was 14 I took my tractor and built a hills and mudpuddle course behind my house. He and his cousins had hours of fun getting it stuck and unstuck. This video brought back great memories, thank you!

As for the two guys in this video: I envy the heck out of them because their doing the exact thing I dream of starting for myself. Having a shop in the country, Rebuilding old antique pick-up trucks, Four-wheel drive especially is a dream I've had since my teenage years.

The broken exhaust manifold bolt was my favorite part. These old engines are fantastic to work on. I've torn down a couple Subaru engines with my buddy about 5 or 6 times. He installed the head gaskets backwards. First start up it poured out like a fountain. Next head gasket we installed, one of the brand new head bolts sheared perfectly flush with the block. It was seriously demoralizing. Many all nighters later it was finally running. Automotive moments like this are why it's fun. Love this video.

Valve timing alone was enough to keep it from getting good compression. Cylinder head cleanup only just helped it run smooth. Your gearhead logic is spot on for engine troubleshooting. I would have used the same sequence of troubleshooting as the most likely next thing to check. Love to see this old flathead sing again.

With a generator, your charging system can be either negative or positive ground, it doesn't matter, as long as you POLARIZE the generator. If the generator has no residual magnetism, it won't charge properly. If you're going to cut trails, you need the 3 point hitch and PTO options on back, so you can pull a "bush hog" around with you 😎

Wow! In 1971-2 I bought a 1953 Willys PU. Flat-head 6 cyl. three speed (2 ranges L/H) selectable 2/4 wheel drive for $500. What a wonderful, idiosyncratic machine. Top speed 55 mph. It had a spotlight which came in handy as the headlights would randomly turn off at night on the highway. No fuel gauge, 5 gal. Jerry can in the bed for when it sputtered out. Could pull a rhinoceros out of quicksand. Some bright guy mounted an electric fuel pump over the exhaust pipe to make sure we suffered intermittent vapor-lock, but I loved it. Still fondly remembered. :-)

With so many channels, I forgot that you were tinkering on this one. I as a kid have memories of riding in the back of a truck. We were our own enemy as we would hang over the sides as far as we could and never fall out but once my brother had stood up to stretch his legs from being crouched down so long and dad was just rolling along but he swerves a bit to miss a hole in the road and caught him just right sending him right 0ver the side. And this is the best as we convince him to stand up and pee over the top of the cab into dads windshield. My buddy and I standing off to one side, we knew what come next as he tried to do this and he had pee all over him. He was soaked good cause it started coming back but he couldn't make it shut off. Under pressure and mad, he swung at my buddy and went over the side of the rig. Now he is really mad and we are laughing and dad figures it out and it makes him laugh too. Those were good times .... yes they were and now we are so scared, we walk around with a mask on???

I am very impressed by your knowledge and how-to. I heard terminology throughout both Parts that I hadn't heard in a very long time. Bravo for a great job. You are a very patience man.

I rescued a 61 Willys Wagon 4x4 way back in 1991. It was my grandpa's and was used at his boat marina at Lake Egypt in southern Illinois. All it did for 20 years was pull boats in and out of the lake. It was parked in 1980. It was rough when I got it. Somebody broke all the windows out and was full of trash and critters, but i didn't care. With suprisingly little effort, I got it running. It had the 226 cubic inch flathead six cylinder. A torquey engine. I had the engine rebuilt and did some amateur body work and put it back on the road. Put at least 10,000 miles on it over next few years. It was very capable offroad and because it had the 226 engine, it had the 4.27 gears in the axles and would do 70mph on the highway! But like many other projects , life and kids took money and priority and it was sold in 1997 or so. I still have Polaroid pics from when I was working on it. I miss it.

I’m in Colombia now (retired). I have my first Willys CJ-3B which requires a ton of work and chemicals to clean a dirty engine. I love the vehicle. Your video inspires me to bring it back to pristine condition.

My grandpa had over 19 vehicles in his backyard when I was a kid. I always wanted to fix up a 61 ford pick up and a 79 camero he had but he could never be bothered with doing something like that with me. In the end it all got scraped in 08 and 09 I have a couple of emblems now. Fixing up that Willy’s is something I dreamed of doing when I was a kid. Thank you for making these videos

Man, that little Willy's is so cool. It's just unlike anything you can find today. I bet it'd make an awesome little trail rider.

I had a 52 Overland ( wagon ) and a 54 CJ3B with a snowplow. had many , many 4WD vehicles since but I loved those the best. If they were good enough to help win WWII they were good enough for me. Strong , sturdy , simple and effective as hell. Thanks for bringing this puppy back to life.

In 1969...my 51 Willys PK got the 260 V-8 engine from my 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon Sprint put into it with the help of an adapter kit from J.C. Whitney. The 260, with all the chrome, had broken of the top of # 5 piston at 97,000 original miles so it was rebuilt. The Falcon got upgraded (?) to a 289. Oh memories. I have no idea where either vehicle are now. This was the last major work I did on vehicles.

It probably will be a cool trail cart but I think a guy would make an awesome custom lil truck to cruise in too. I guess this place is a rental , which gives more work space and a yard to store the treasures you find. Sure the wife likes having less mess at home lol. Enjoying seeing your adventures.

It always amazes me how these old pieces of American iron, no matter how battered, neglected, abused and abandoned over decades still want to live. If that beast was mine I'd be doing a full resto on it to bring her back to factory new - so much potential. And that sweet engine sound is priceless.
