Papaw"s 61 Willy's

[Marty G]

Howdy all:
Ill start with some history on this old jeep.
My Grandpa bought it new He passed in 76.
My uncle had it next he used it on his farm for a while.
He also laid it on its side twice when he was young.
He sold it to a family Friend in 84 who patched the front floors together and painted it.
Then my uncle got it back from him in 84.
He decided to let me have the jeep so hear we go 23k miles.

Leaving Rice VA.

The toolbox still looks pretty good.

But the front pans and removable hump look bad.

Looking good..can't wait to see it on the road. If you want to sell that hard top I might know someone interested unless you have other plans for it

The bracket on the windshiled is the mount for the mirror.

I was talking about the flat spot on the cow i should have got a better angle on it.found out Thea mounted the mirror there on a m38a1 there instead of the windshield.
