Just starting this project with my 17 year old. We got a 1951 Willys Wagon with the body and frame in impeccable shape and with a running 283 SBC hooked up to the T90/T18 combo. After doing a lot of research we are going to switch the body over on to a 1998 GMC Envoy/Jimmy with the 4.3L engine and go with the new running gear. As the project progresses we'll likely be selling off the running gear, transmission, transfer case and engine (or the whole thing if someone wants it). We'll post pictures of the build, but here is the first shot of the vehicles that we are swapping. We've already pulled the sheet metal off of the 51.

Nice! I just acquired a 47 wagon that im planning on converting to 4wd. Where are you located, I may be interested in some, if not all of the frame and running gear. I am located in Bakersfield, CA. Thanks, Scott
