I've got a `51 Willys pickup being delivered this Sunday.  Among other
things I'll be needing some sheet metal repair parts, rocker panels,
lower door skins, the usual drill.  Anyone here have any favorite
vendors for early Willys parts that they'd like to skew some business
towards?

WillysAmerica.Com.
They not only make just about everything for your truck from scratch,
but they do it all in steel that's as good or better than original.
I'm getting quarters for my wgaon from them for about $150 each.
That's a killer price on brand-ey new Wagon quarters.

Great, thanks for the tip, I'll be ordering their catalogue/restoration
guide in a minute.  Looking at their site I notice that they sell used
sheet metal, too.  Have you had a reason to buy used from them?  How are
they on cost?  For the right price I'll skip the cab rust repairs and
swap in a fresh cab.

I haven't bought anything from them yet, but they come highly
recommended by some friends who have. Also, the guys there are about as
knowledgable about Willys trucks as anyone and they make a strong
argument for why you should restore or completely repower these trucks
instead of just trying to hotrod them. Because of their advise and an
honest hard look at my stuff, I'm not using the Toyota frame I first
intended, but using the original Willys frame with an all-new driveline
from the Toyota 4x4. It's a better frame for the wagon and it'll be
cheaper and better in the long run. Also, I won't have to mess with body
mounts on another frame - they're all in the right spots on the stocker
already. Axles and engines (especially a V6) are easy to stick in a Willys.

I have the restoration guide and it's a treasure trove of good
information, well worth the price. If you have questions about new vs.
used parts, jst call them up and ask. explain what your goals are for
your truck and what you expect/hope to get out of it. They'll give you
the straight poop depending on your needs.

Cheers,
