Re: My 1952 truck.
SSABMUD, That looks great. The console and dash really flow together. Great job. Keep the pictures flowing.

Re: My 1952 truck.
Thanks Shannon. I changed the seats three times and the console twice because they just did not work with the dash. After the fibreglass work is done, the whole interior will work even better. Need to move the AC vents again, and the brake pedal sucks. I just hope I don't screw it up.

And don't be shy about posting more pics and details of the Willys.

Re: My 1952 truck.
Photos of the Willys. It belonged to my Uncle whom I was going to help him fix it up one day. Sadly I lost him and my Mother gave the Willys and a 1926 Ford roadster to me. I had them shipped to my house and decided to restore them in his honor. The Willys is done but I am collecting parts for the roadster. I did Find a near new turtle deck for it in the US which was a major hurdle. The Willys took me nearly two years of hard work and a fair bit of cash as you can see it was very rough fresh off the farm. It had the wrong engine in it but I found the original in three 5 gallon pails with a spun crank and rods. I am very happy to have finished it and it reminds me of him every time I see it. Thanks for the interest.

Re: My 1952 truck.
Two more crappy ones. I really need to pull her out of the shop and clean her up for some photos. The 52 is just keeping me too busy along woth work, family, other projects.

Re: My 1952 truck.
Very cool! I have a 48 CJ2A that'll be a future project when my twins (almost 4 y/o) are old enough to help me. How much of the original tub were you able to use? Mine will probably use the original cowl,rear floor, front fenders and hood, and the rest will likely be new panels. It's rough, but not as rough as my CJ3A parts jeep (frame donor).
