54 willys- CJ3B Chevy 350

[Piginajeep]

Other than the JK, my wife and I own 3 other jeeps, This is my favorite by far.

Life for the 54 started out as a 3B, The Willys had a custom body CJ2A,3A style built by Tom Kennedy founder of 4WD Hardware. Tom later bought the willys back after his business took off.

This is how the jeep was when i purchased it from 4WD, it was a floor display for atleast 10 years.


It also had a non-running chevy 327 with tri-power

I got that engine running, and blew it up....

I then installed a Chevy 350, all new ignition, new everything. even brake mastercylinders.. This pic is actually the 327. the 350 is black...looks the same however

I snapped my drive shaft in half in august, so i havent drove it since,
this winter its getting new seats, electric fan, and of course a driveshaft..
Also regeared, its top speed is about 40 mph...but it gets there quick!

Its very quick, I would put my money on this little willys before the JK anyday.:rotflmao1:
