my guess, a 50-something willy's. it's for sale, and needs some extensive work done but i'm really interested in buying it. i love old trucks, want to get a project car to restore on my own.
As you thought, it looks alot like a '50s Willys based on this picture of a '57 model:

Good luck with that, where did you find it? I like the Karmann Ghias to the right...
Looks like it could be a sweet project. How much rust does it have? That is going to be your biggest challenge.
Looks like a Willy, be careful parts may be a bitch.
i'm not sure about the rust yet, haven't had a chance to speak to the owner yet. the guy's on vacation but once he gets back i will give it a good looksie and judge the severity of the project. i'll let you all know how it goes...
Does the missing right side mirror come with the truck? :D
I'll take the Ghia on the right.

Now everyone seems to buy black, silver, or grey cars that all look alike...BTW the Olds on the left (or is it a Pontiac?) would make a great low rider, check out the old school licence plate too, I think those are gone a couple of years now so that's been parked awhile.
Back then there wasn't a mirror on the right side...Quote:

It is definitely a Willy's Jeep model. It would make a cool restoration. Of course Jeeps were real trucks in those days....
