Absolutely no affiliation; random FBM post.  But I want this, and thought somebody else here might want it enough to buy it.

1960 Willys wagon project - $3500 OBO in Robesonia, PA.

I like it, but that front frame area doesn't look GM.

The ad says (paraphrasing) "'70s GM 3/4 ton drivetrain, extended and boxed frame" so maybe it's the Willys frame but they've stretched it a little to pick up the leaf spring bearing points for the GM axles.

In reply to TurnerX19 :

Yeah, that will burn pretty well.



FWIW, that is also the original Willys frame with a couple lengths of box tube scabbed on the front of it.    

A chassis swap would have been a much better idea.

Heh, I missed that.  Well, that will definitely need some insulation and sheet metal.

Those appear to be 6 lug axles as opposed to 8 lug, so the owner of the Willys may interpret "3/4 ton drivetrain" differently than I do.
