Cant wait to see your thread, that thing looks awesome!
 
All 3 are 48s. Blue and rust one was my grandpa's and been sitting behind barn for around 40 yrs. it'll get lots of work one day.

Gray and rust one was bought locally last year cause we wanted to get grandpa back in a willys and knew we didn't have time for a full rebuild of his. My brother uses it for promo stuff at his bar. Named it whiskey willys and I put swag drawers in bed, built a tonneau cover from an old barn door and threw 3 whiskey barrels on top that.

1/2 primer one was found and thought it'd be a paint job and throw bed from blue one on it but it has a long way to go. It's a 48 cab on a 76 scout frame. Will probably srs the front to bring it up a bit and stretch frame to match proper pickup wheelbase and build a tube/sheet trail bed.

I didn't build it but there was a build thread on irate with a P back in the day. Here is a compilation since I've had it. It's been in CRAWL a couple times and was a feature in edition #17 which I am desperately trying to find. (around fall of 2017)


And front axle upgrade here. I plan to pull the front cover in the next couple weeks and then I can do an update.

 
My fully utilized 2a is a hell of a workhorse and not to bad of a wheeling machine either.
