My Willys was delivered to the US Army on July 11 th of 1945. It was stationed in Alaska where it stayed until around 1970. Then made its was to South Carolina where it spent many hard years working and playing. When it was sold (for $100 dollars) to undergo restoration it had a tree growing through the tub. The Jeep was an original radio Jeep and the original hood numbers were transferred to the new hood. The MB has been gone through from top to bottom and is now in like new condition once again with parts from Kaiser Willys. The Jeeps name is “Sarge” and it wins first place in every show we attend and recently won best of show in an all jeep show. I also have a 1951 CJ-3A currently under restoration in my garage.

My house burned to the ground on January 10, 2023, along with my catalog from your awesome company. Thankfully, my early 60s kaiser willys pickup was at my parents home and not lost in the fire with my Harley, 2 other bikes, my f150 and my wife’s toyota camry. Which brings us to new beginnings, and hoping that means a start on that jeep pickup restoration.
