Rymanrph Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 A local about 10 miles from my house just put up his 1950 Willys Pickup for sale. I have no money right now because of my job situation, but if that were to change, I'd love to work on this truck. Its a 6 cyl (was a 6cyl offered in 1950?) 3 speed with 4 wheel drive. The sign in the window says "runs good." I know these trucks can be worth a decent amount in good shape, but I have no idea what this one is worth. Best I can tell it needs a lot of work including 3 fenders, most glass pieces, some rust repair here and there, obviously a paint job and who knows what mechanically. I'll post some pictures up when I get home (don't have my camera at work). He's asking $2500 obo; is that a fair price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 1954 was the first year Willys came out with a 6 cylinder engine so that one is a swap. In my opinion $2500 is a bit much for it from the description you gave. There is a fully restored 1952 Willys P/U for sale 20 miles from here. Fellas asking $2500 for it. There is 3 unrestored P/U within 20 miles of me all going for $500, or less. Check the Pueblo and Colorado Springs Craigs List. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche County Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Lots of good info on these on the Willys Tech yahoo group. I'm a lurker there for my old CJs. Dr. Vern from JP magazine and many other bona fide old Jeep experts are on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexluthier72 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I owned a 54 for about a year. It had been "converted" to run a 6cyl studebaker engine, and never really ran right. It was a BLAST to drive. (like a friggen tank) I miss it. I always thought it would be cool to put the body on an XJ frame/engine.... -Erin p.s.- There are lots of good parts houses in the midwest that do parts for them.

carnuck Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 No pics yet? PS: No frame in XJ or MJ. You must mean FSJ frame (almost a bolt on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rymanrph Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 Here are the shots I took. I looks worse the more I look at it, but I still really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
