I always wanted a Willys pickup, but I never thought I would own one. When the opportunity came along, I searched the Internet and classified adds for a truck to restore. Fortunately, the West Coast Willys club put me in touch with a truck located near by, resting in the redwoods and fog along the California coast.
Although the truck was a bit rough, in my mind it was perfect. Nearly stock, moderate rust and lots of character.
Well, I decided I wanted this truck to be a part of the family. However, as part of the family it had to be dependable to handle it’s share of the chores as well as participate in the fun. So, began my (and my families) journey to learn about the unique personality of this truck and the mystique of Willys Overland. I have come to learn, everybody has a Willys story!
Time to get the new friend home!
