024: Dwight Toland’s 1949 Willys Jeepster
This is my 1949 Willys Jeepster that I rebuilt. When I bought it the original body had been put on an S10 frame with a 2.8L v6 and automatic transmission.
The previous owner could not complete the project because of his health. I put on the V front clip, did the body work and finished it out. The front seats are from a late 60’s CJ, rear seat a Dodge mini van, the gauge panel is from a 36 Ford pickup.
It is a great driver and a real head turner!

I noticed that Dwight also has a 53 Parkway Conversion. I am curious if this came with the inside trim for the side windows. I have a 58 Conversion and wanted to know if I need to hunt some of these down or not.
Where did Dwight get that neat spare wheel cover? I would order one of those in a minute!
