    New-Old Willys Jeep guy

    Greetings
    My first Willys Jeep was a 1961 2wd wagon my dad gave me when I was 13
    it needed a lot of work and I learned much about fixing and repairing cars.
    I drove through high school and regret letting it go.

    I’m a retired aircraft tec, I worked on small private jets for 48 years. I enjoyed my job but my true love is old cars and trucks.

    I picked up a 1962 Willys Jeep pickup in the early 90’s drove it until 1998 and it sat till last May when I began a total restoration.
    My goal is to bring it back as original as I can but I’m not against making it better with small modifications.

    I look forward to sharing ideas and experiences with the group

    Dave

    Very cool Dave! A few aircraft guys on the forum. As you will see, there is a great love for the Willys Pickup. You are really going to enjoy that one. The Willys pickups are my favorite.

    We have a great group of people on this Forum to be sure Dave! Things are sometimes quiet and sometimes busy. If you need something, we all step right up if we can help. There is a lot of information in the Tech sections. The search feature can find you even more. Most of the "FAQ's" are in the tech and how to sections of this Forum. Enjoy the Forum and feel free to post anytime!

    I understand very well, I’ve been on many sites and I don’t post very often.
    The reason I joined is because of the stord information and for the experience of the members.
