Went back today to test drive it and take a few more pics.
So a few days ago when I was there they were moving all of their vehicles, and the Willys was working perfectly.
Today I got in to drive it, put it in reverse and boy did it move. Then I put it in drive, put my foot on the gas.....and it reved really high and thats it. They told me it had a small trans fluid leak (I expected it, since its a jeep), so they grabbed a couple jugs of fluid and put it in and.....nothing.
So one of the guys at the shops is gonna rip it apart for me and figure out whats wrong, and call me when its fixed.
But in the mean time here are more pics
Here is the rather shiny fuel cell in the back of the rather unshiny bed, you can also see the original style tubed wheels and tires. I would probably switch back to the tubed wheels once the tubeless on it are worn out.
Here is the 350 in all its glory
another engine shot
They originally had two gloveboxes, but this specimen is missing one of them. My plan if i get it is to put a double din stereo/backup cam (terrible visibility) and GPS in the spot and to put panels to its side to cover the hole.
here the bumper. I would try to swap this for a winch bumper when I had time to fab one up.
I forgot to get a pic of the gauge cluster, but this is what it looks like. My plan is to swap it out for a set of digital gauges. that fit in the same bezel.
Heres the door, a new piece of diamond plate, or a piece of pegboard with clothe glued to it would fix this. I was also planning on putting a speaker in the bottom right side on the door, where it wouldnt be messing with anything.
finally you can see most of the interior here. as I said before my plan is to lay down some insulation and possibly rhino line over it. Also the bench doesnt have any seat belts. While I like, this I dont think my wife would approve of not having seat belt while we're trying to start a family. So I would probably swap this out with a bench from a late model chevy 1500 and add in some seatbelts.
Otherwise my only other plans would be converting back to 4x4, possibly a frame swap, and adding a tow hitch receiver.
