My dad bought a brand new Willys Jeep truck in 1959 for 3000.00, as a kid I thought it was the coolest truck ever. In high school I got the keys and restored it and drove it everywhere until I wrecked it. With help from my dad's friend who found me a donor truck to use for parts, I totally rebuilt it and drove it for several more years before giving it back to dad. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for these old Jeep trucks, but I also remember how noisy they were, you could always smell gear oil and I learned how to be a mechanic because of the old Jeep because I was always fixing something on it. Dad went through two engines during the first year and was one of the first people around to swap in a Chevy V-8, a 283 from a Corvette to be exact.

It’s rare but occasionally I find a person who understands the pure simplicity and value of this early engineering, I have a 1949 with a factory flatbed I used this truck on one of the Family Ranches here in western Colorado/Eastern Utah 30 years ago luckily I ended up with the ole girl it’s mostly original not counting a bush fix or two anyway totally enjoyed You appreciation for what they are, if I watch a video and start to hear about the new frame the new drivetrain I’m gone, Great truck You have I’ll be watching !

The front bumper beauty bar as you call it, was probably an option, because my 1953 truck front bumper looks exactly like yours.
