195: Vern Guyer’s 1954 Willys Truck
When I bought this 1954 Willys Truck, the glass was broken out and there was not a straight piece of metal on it. I have put an AMC 232 engine in it, and Saturn overdrive. I tried to keep everything original except the engine and overdrive. I have done a off body restoration on it. It cruises nicely at 60-65 MPH even with 5:38 rear axle, due to the overdrive. I put it in a car show in Oregon where there were 200-300 cars and to my surprise, it took first place in the 4×4 class. I painted it Willow Green, with flakes of pearl, trimmed in flat black. I have $10,000 in parts, but what fun and enjoyment it has brought me. Wherever I go it creates a crowd!
