Here are a few photos we took of our 1957 4x4 Station Wagon during 18 months of work. All floor panels replaced as well as both rear quarters and extensive tailgate and framing rebuilds. All running gear rebuilt as well. I’ve done this 2 times, once in the early 60’s to a lesser extent and this time everything. <br><br> Regards, Bob

My name is Bob Pulliam and my daughter, Audrey (2 1/2 years old), and I have started a restoration project on a '60 model Willys Wagon that originally was a forest service vehicle in Wyoming. A good friend of mine bought it years ago and promised to sell it to me if he ever sold it. With his daughter going off to college, and the fact that he also owns another wagon, he finally sold me this one. It's pretty much standard issue 4 WD straight 6, 3 speed wagon. You can still see the original Forest Service green on the hood and grill in some photos. The vehicle was originally gray and FS green. Cool additions either ordered or added by the Forest Service were a skid plate under the gas tank, jerry cans on both sides, AM radio, and a Ramsey PTO winch. In the pic you see it with a CJ/MJ style Koenig setup which I sold and replaced with the original style Ramsey. As rough as it looks, this old wagon ran and drove when I bought her from my buddy. We are going to do a frame off resto on this wagon and return it to its "government mule" status. We're keeping everything original and so far we've only had time to strip it to the body tub and chassis. Here's pics of where we are now. Currently we are stocking up on sheetmetal and parts to get after it again in the spring. Our goal is to have it finished in time to take my daughter to school on her first day of kindergarten.

Awesome paint job/color scheme! Have any before restoration photos? I’m looking for a replacement front window and wonder if you replaced yours, if you still have the old one (you mite sell) or were can I find one? Big tires must be off-road, how’s the noise and ride on highway?
Flowers is a nice touch!

Have you ever seen the pictures of a wagon I believe was in New Zealand that was getting new front tin in the form of if I remember correctly, 34 Ford. It was mocked up at the time I saw it but looked very cool. I love the wagons from stock to wild .
Great pics of these WIllys! I’m a huge Jeep fan even though we mainly sell Toyotas, these classic Willys are always a head turner and I love seeing what people do with them.

I need help, my cj2a is hanging up in 3rd gear. It appears the clutch gear may moving too far forward so that it can not return> I took the top off the transmission and managed to depress the spring loaded gears and got the clutch gear to move back to it’s correct position. Put it back together and it immediately happened again.
I can not figure out if something in the gear box is allowing the excessive travel or if it is a linkage problem. Any body got any ideas?

My husband and I have a 1960 Jeep Willys Wagon for sale
and still runs fine. It has had the old hurricane engine replaced with a 1986 Jeep CJ5 engine in 1991.
My father in-law bought this Willys from the local dealer and we still have the invoice he paid for it on.
We are making some new pictures of it and will be ready to send them out to others who have inquired on Wednesday of this week. If you would like I could send you a set as well. My email address is above as noted. Judy Summers Cape Charles, Virginia
I am looking for a nice Willys wagon, all considered. Any help appreciated… Jim
