Earl Marischal Posted June 28, 2022 Author Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) Thanks Les. Certainly a bit strange. The headlights don't appear to be aligned either. Is that legal I wonder? steve Edited June 28, 2022 by Earl Marischal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C. Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Definitely an earlier Willys pickup that was wildly chopped and customized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C. Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 We had one of these when I was growing up. It was the typical met. green color but it was a little later one-piece windshield type. It had a flathead 4 with that PTO setup (multiple sticks) and we mainly used it for a snowplow. I don't ever remember it being on the road. what became of it I have no idea.
