- You asked for it so here it is. A walk-around overview of our 1948 Jeep Willys truck.
Here we will give you a view of the broad strokes of what makes this one awesome truck. Be sure to Subscribe as will will be diving in deeper on future vids going on about all the parts and pieces that may this rig oh so very special.
So if there's a feature on Nugget that you really want us to jump into the details on, leave a comment and let us know. We may just take your suggestion and create a featurette on the topic.
Thanks for watching!
In 1975, I owned a 1951 Willys PU. The grill was the same as this. I have a photo of it if you want to see it. I just bought a 1954 and it is being "revived." This is a really cool-looking one. I'm going to take a couple ideas, such as the JC lamps on the front bumper. I've got a killer custom bumper on it.
Would love to see the progress. Find us on IG at ROAMRLIFE
I had a ‘49 wagon, early ones are cool but I do love some of the early 50’s boy and trim styling.
Yes they are all neat in their own way.
real nice , john
Thanks
I’m just getting a 1985 jeep cj7 built. Swapping it onto a 1996 Toyota 4runner 3rd gen. It’s almost done after 3 years
Awesome. Bet you’re glad it’s almost done!
I’m so excited because I haven’t drove that jeep in about 10 years. Just been seating in my shop before I took to mechanic to do the swap.
Your rig is awesome too. My wife has a 1962 jeep Willy’s just like yours that she swaps to do a swap with. Just trying to figure out what to swap it with.
Love those old Willys pickups/wagons/panel trucks, the first one I remember seeing was the '51 pickup that a friend of Dads owned,he also owned a '55 Willys Custom four door sedan
The front fenders and hood are from a 1951......the grill and fender are connected on a slight curve ..when viewing from the front....1948 & 1949 are on two angles....alsi the hood ornament on a 1948 & 1949 is a njckel tapered strip from front to back....the 1951 is on your truck.....your Willys looks super great job....
Yes it has a history for sure. The title was a 48 so that is why we chose 48.
I am re-doing a 55 Willy truck and this gave me some nice ideas! Thanks!
Love it!
Loving the Willys Jeep!
Very Nice Willy’s sir !
Nice build there Awesome pickup anyway new chassis best both world patina looks great.
Really cool build
holy smokes that thing is awesome!! Mine did not end up like that lol
Nice job...
I freakin love it
hi there a bit late but what a nice truck john
Spare needs to be on top of the decked bed insert and below the RTT.
All a matter of opinion and what is trying to be accomplished my friend. The RigD carrier gives us the option to remove it entirely and without having to have the tent higher on the bed that would closer push it above the cab
It has a 50 to a 65 front clip on it
Yes, indeed! Our best guess is that it is a 52. It was titled as a 48 and somebody changed out some panels early on is our best guess but we really don’t know. Good catch! Not many people mention, or noticed that.
Awesome build that's been one of my bucket list trucks forever! Just found your channel & can't wait to watch more of your videos. Thank you for sharing & I also have a two wheel drive mutt truck (1948/1951 Ford F-1/F-7, cab came from old fire truck)

Did you all use a JK or JKU frame?

couldn't you just put the body on a taco frame and be done?
Dunno. The 2016 JK worked out great
