- GO AHEAD! Have a quick preview of the
author's latest Hot Rod Project, a Ford
429SCJ/Tri-Power/4spd powered "38 Willys"
Pro-Street
Pickup!!!! That's it! How about another shot of the author's
429SCJ Tri-Power! Aren't you
glad you had a peek! Of course if you would like to hear and see what a
429SCJ Tri-Power Sounds
like in a Willys......You know you like Willys; even droopy nose ones!
Here are a
pictures of the early construction of this willys.
For historical purposes, here is a copy of the
Want Ad picture on
my Willys as it looked when I bought it in 1995....when it was advertised
for sale in Dallas in Spring of 1995...I eventually bought it from a Huntington
Beach guy who bought it in Dallas...I originally called on it in Dallas but it
was too far for me. The vehicle originally started life with the Colby
Mattress Company in Colby, Kansas.
These above pictures were
recently sent to me by the owner of the Colby Mattress Company of my pickup
when it was much newer, along with a letter giving the history, ownership
and pedigree of my pickup[.
.Here are details and the
particulars on my swap of
'47-54 Chevy Pickup headlights into my '37-38
Willys front fenders. They look like they belong. Everything you
ever wanted to know about making the plastic top insert for a
1937-38 Willys
Hood Ornament.
