I bought a Willys Wagon!
Yep, it's a 48. I was knocking around on eBay as I will often do, looking at what vehicles are for sale near me. I spotted the wagon for sale, with 3 hours to go and a high bid of $330. It didn't look too awful, and seemed fairly complete. I said ah what the hey. I'll bid $503. I logged off and went to bed. After work today I got back on eBay. I won the Willys. After a really qiuick Google, I discover a 69-72 Blazer/Jimmy has the same wheelbase as the Willys. Actually the 73-87 Blazers and Jimmys have a 106.5 inch wheel base, 2.5 inches longer than the Willys. This is quite do-able. So if anyone near Little Rock happens to know where a rolling chassis might be, I'm a-looking!
