This is our ’54 pickup given to us by my wife’s brother. It sat in a dog pen for years and was buried up to the axels by the dogs digging around it. I used my 2012 Wrangler with a winch to recover it. The body looked pretty good until we started sanding, then it became obvious this wasn’t going to be a quick and easy fix. We ended up doing a frame off restoration and complete mechanical rebuild of the drive train. I was concerned about the availability of parts until I found Kaiser Willys and saw what a comprehensive list of parts you stocked. It was a pleasure talking to your knowledgeable people and they kept me out of trouble several times. We restored it to near original condition with one exception, in order to be able to enjoy it during the hot summers in Texas we had to add air conditioning. The truck runs great and the AC will chill you to the bone even on the hottest days!
