1958 Willys Additional Info:
I purchased this FC in West Covina California in 2011. It had no engine or transmission but was unusually rust free. I shipped it back and bought a running but very rusty FC locally. I had the engine rebuilt by Carlquist Competition Engines in Oakville CT. I installed new seals and bearings in the transmission and transfer case, an alternator conversion kit, a new water pump, a new carburetor, electric fuel pump and all new wires and sensors. The exhaust is also new from manifold to tailpipe. The front end, brakes, and bearings were in good shape. I then bought the (used but like new) EZ Dumper bed and adapted it to fit the frame. I added rear fenders and a custom aluminum fuel tank. The tires were new 5 years ago and have less than 10 miles on them. There are 2 electric fans ( one pushing, one pulling) on an adjustable temperature switch for cooling.The FC appears to have had a prior restoration years ago. It starts and runs well and I have many extra parts from the rusty FC and a spare CJ3A engine, including ; front and rear axles, a rebuildable block head and crankshaft, 4-15" rims, misc interior trim parts, distributor, pistons and connecting rods 2 Carter carburetors (the new carb is a Solex) a new Carter aftermarket replacement carb, front and rear springs, misc. bolts and linkages a front and rear windshield and a complete dashboard.
