Here is my family’s 1955 Willys Pickup. We started the project about 10 years ago off a hunch. A young friend of my fathers was going into the military and was looking for a good home for his project. After exchanging a few words, the Willys was ours for the price of $50. It was formerly a private welding vehicle in Cockeysville, Md. We were able to trace the truck back to it’s original location thanks to the help of a few locals. When we got it home, it was very rough. There were only 3 wheels and the hood had been through-bolted along with a massive welder mount on the rear of the frame. We have since replaced the drivetrain with a system from a 1961 Willys Pickup that was formerly used as a sprayer truck in the Florida Orange Groves. Many winters we have worked on it and it is starting to come together. I hope to be able to drive it to my Senior Prom. It holds a special place in our hearts and it will be great to enjoy. A special thanks to Kaiser Willys for all the parts and technical advice to help us get her back on the road.

Very nice truck, try and keep it as original as you can.
