    New with a Willys truck

    Hello everyone, new member from WestCentral Louisiana, about to jump into building my 56 truck. I've already learned a lot from the forum, you guys seem very knowledgeable and helpful.

    "...you guys seem very knowledgeable..."

    We've made a lot of mistakes and we'll own up to them so you can find new mistakes to make.

    What engine in the '56?

    Someone put a Buick 225 v6 in it. And I'm sure I will be making plenty more mistakes.

    Welcome LaWay! That thing should run well with a 225 V6 in it. TJones has a sweet little CJ with a hot V6. Plenty of power there!

    I may not be going with the 225. I'm thinking of doing a body swap with a Nissan Pathfinder I have. When I figure out how to post pictures, I will put some on here.

    Just from a first look, that's not such a bad looking body.
