047: Neal Neubauer’s 1951 Willys Truck
Parts and pieces. This is my Willys Pickup. It’s registered ’51’ and the body is laid out as a ’50’-’54’ (I think). The only thing that would be different is the fresh air intake hole beside the front grill. It’s a ’48’ from the cab back with a newer front clip.
I had two pickups when I was a kid in the 70’s and 80’s and never lost my love for them. All 1996 4×4 regular cab S-10 frame. Wheelbase was exact. 4.3L Vortec, Automatic 4L60E, AC, Cruise, ABS. Very drivable. Even the wipers have several electric speeds!

Hallo Neal Neubauer,
Your truck is very nice, very similar to my green 63 Truck. It is not finished. I hope it will be as good as Yours.
Soon.
Merry Christmas from Peter Queensland Australia
THE CAB CONSTRUCTION IS BASICLY FLAT METAL PANELS THAT CAN BE MADE
IN A SIMPLE HAND BRAKE OUT OF 26 GAGE GALVANIZED..
I WORKED IN TWO DIFFERENT FIRE TRUCK PLANTS FOR THIRTEEN YEARS,

DESIGNING AND BUILDING A NEW TRUCK CAB WAS A CAKE WALK.
Hey Neal. Nice Pickup. I’m putting together one of my own and I was wondering what your front seat was from. Looks like it fits great.
Beautiful Green truck I really like the color. My parents [both deceased] had a 68 Ford Falcon Sea Foam green almost this color..
