My name is Andreas Gronemann and I found this Willys Truck in a nearby village on a ranch in South Dakota. It is a 1948 and the Truck was restored from the frame up, modified to 12V and with dual brake system and the engine was upgraded to a 1950’s Super Hurricane. I found a fishing boat of about that era and it was restored and painted to match the truck. Attached are some pictures of how the truck looked like when I found and bought it.

I have a 1947 that is originally of the green color. Your red one looks like a new one compared to what I will be facing I will have tp have my grandson and his boy to back me up I don’t think I have enough time left, I think my biggest problem is finding the dashboard, and gauges. The rest is all sheet metal that will have to be fabricated I do have some glass will have to get it out to see what I need before I start to see if I can get it.

That is a good looking truck. It looks really cold on the Pactola Lake Dam the day that last picture was taken.
Keep on Jeepin.

Nice Job. Looks really nice with the matching boat. Excellent idea to match them.
