Hi all... I'm in the middle of restoring a '59 Willys wagon and my body guy gave me a bit more bad news... I have one body mount that is rusted out, specifically, drivers side directly under the...

just maybe someone use loctite on it...yeah... that's it. nothing to do with being weak :)
bmorgil... the set screw is not in it. it was just super tight. i'm not as strong as i once was but i was never strong enough to bust that free. i had to use pliers.
WOW... I never imagined that a dashboard knob could be so tight without breaking. I had to use pliers! Thank you LarrBeard.
I was confused with the dashboard label too. the label says 4 WD...
Hi all...
The weather has finally getting better and I've been busy with everything but my Willys Wagon. A couple of months ago I was able to lift the body off and lifted easier than I had...
Hi to all. Even in this FREEZING winter that we are having in Montana, I am making progress with my wagon (a bit slow but progress).
I am about a week from lifting the body off the frame and I...
WOW! Thanks gmwillys. The YouTube guy covers a bunch of useful things.
Well I thought all was ready. But now the steering column has me stuck. I've been looking at the diagrams but I still have not found the retainer clip/nut/pin that is keeping the shaft in the...
Thanks gmwillys. I was hoping there was a pin and to avoid pulling the top cover off but good to know about keeping in N.
Hi all. I've pulled everything off, taken the windows out, disconnected all wires, etc... and now ready to lift the body off but not sure how to clear the original trani shifters. In my garage, I...
As pelago says, you need some measurements and if you don't have the right equip for that then you need a good machine shop. The worst hole needs to be cleaned, honed and measured to know that it is...
of course i was working on the drivers side which was taken apart and the passenger side is missing the button that you're talking about. It's there and it locks when i reach in w/ a screwdriver to...
Hi all,
Call me silly but I decided to not only document my parts as i take them out but also figure out how they work so i know what to expect when putting it back together. To that end, I'm...
Yep, that's the bumper he is wanting to sell. i'm trying to add my pic but i think it must be too early and i'm not clicking on the right thing. it looks ok but i'm going to have a lot of money...
Hi all,
Looking for some knowledge... I have a '59 Willys wagon and it had some 3" pipe for a front bumper and really didn't look good at all. I found someone who is selling this "extremely rare...

The other day i was rooting around inside and i found GOLD!!! there it was, under the seat, nicely preserved... the original owners manual!!!
For those of you...
Daily driver (original equip ok), off-road camping (original equip ok), take it on the highways (original equip big question). I want to be able to safely drive on the highways and most in this area...
Thank guys
My intent is to be able to drive the wagon as a daily driver, to take it on the highways, and off-road camping. I have all original engine/trani and wanted to do find out if my #4 is...
Hi guys (and maybe a gal or two)
As the title suggests, I am a new papa to a 1959 Willys wagon that I adopted out of a farm field :D This is complete and totally original.
