Donor trucks in Houston???
Frank Wood
Rick in S.A., what about these rumors of donor trucks in Houston? I live
in the Houston burbs and will be glad to check for you and Mark, and anyone else for that matter. If you want to divulge where they might be I may be able to drive by as soon as this Sunday. Give me a list of stuff your looking for and I'll be glad to go on a treasure hunt. Mark, would you happen to know where Marathon, Texas is? Beautiful out there. North of Big Bend National Park. I met a guy out there this summer that said he had a Willys truck cab he was parting out. Didnt see it myself but I got his card. Try ted@... or 915-386-4342. A tad closer to Austin than Colorado but not much. Wish I was in Austin right now. P.S. BTW, Did everyone catch that off-topic personal P.S. that the substitute moderator snuck in one of his recent messages? Shame on him. ---------- From: Rick48CJ2A@...[SMTP:Rick48CJ2A@...] Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 1998 5:45 PM To: WillysTech@... Subject: [WT] Re: 1952 Willys Pickup From: Rick48CJ2A@...

I haven't found any donor trucks down here but if I do I'll let you know. I've heard there is a place in Houston that has some, but I haven't been down there yet to check them out. I understand where you're coming from about restoring your truck. I used my truck all last week to haul cars and trucks out of the mud down here and loaded it full at least 100 times with all kinds of junk. I never thought about what might get scratched or dented. Looking back I might have hesitated to take it into some of the places I went.

Year of Manufacture plates
Matt Phillimore
I'm jealous of all you people who can actually use old plates on your
old willys instead of a new or new "antique" tag. How many states have these year of manufacture liscense plate laws? Does anyone know? I'm thinking about writing some letters to find out why we don't here in Kansas. Matt |

Re: oil capacity

Thanks for all the suggestions! would you believe that it had the wrong dipstick!

I grabed the stick out of the non-running (yet) FC 150 and its about 3 or 4 qts. longer, what would that be in inches? <g>. With the new dip stick it's over full, which it should be given that I put 6 qts in 4+ system. I am replacing the fuel pump (combo fuel/vacume) with a new fuel only pump because the diaphram is shot on the old pump. Everyone tells me the pump is rebuildable BUT the diaphrame is no longer available. Is this true? Willy Rick48CJ2A@... wrote: From: Rick48CJ2A@... |

Steps - 1952 Willys
Mark Peterson
Richard G.,
Thanks for the info on the steps. You're right - Colorado is a little too far from Austin, TX especially without an overdrive in my Willys pickup. A guy in Minneapolis told me that he didn't see a lot of these steps on the pickups because they got banged up easily or rusted through. I like your version better - it seems to make more sense that they didn't offer them after 1950. Mark Peterson |

1952 Willys Pickup
Mark Peterson
Hi Rick S.,
Sounds like you got a bunch of the rain that we got in Austin. I appreciate your help with locating and "donors". Let me know if you get to Houston. Do you happen to know if Willys pickups came stock with tail lights. I put on my own lights but they're in the way of where the PTO comes out. Mark Peterson. |

About those steps, I think we came to the conclusion a couple of weeks ago

in a discussion here, that they were on all trucks up until the style changes in 1950. We found one truck that was later than 50 with steps, but we couldn't determine if they were stock or not. It would be easy to take some steps from an older truck and put them on your 52, all you need is a donor. Somebody said he saw a couple of parts trucks in Colorado, but that's too far away for me (in Arizona) so I bet it's too far for you too. Rick G. www.public.asu.edu/~grover/willys PS.

only one tail light. I also looked at one this summer, a 48 with no modifications with the exception of a tractor type seat and a lot of rust. Even still had the old floormats, or remnants, at least. It had one taillight on the drivers side, on a bracket sticking off the frame a few inches. What little bit I know.. Matt

There is a couple of pictures of Bernie Daily's truck at Rick Grovers Gallery: These pictures seem to show a truck with double tail lights. I've never seen this setup before but that doesn't mean it isn't stock. Chris Croyle"s truck at: is setup like my truck. The tail lights are mounted on a simple L bracket to the side of the frame. The only problem with my truck is that one bracket is forward and one is backwards. The brackets fit equally well both ways so which way is right? Does anyone know for sure? Rick S |
