Willys long cab

[I-R-POPS]

It's been a long 3 weeks dealing with this Covid thing but we survived.
My bride developed bilateral pneumonia and got alot sicker than I did. But getting better every day.

Still not a lot of energy but I am back to the Willys project.

I got the bed finished and it's ready to go on for the final time hopefully. [cl[cl

Got the rear brake line installed when I noticed a rear axle seal leaking so I've got the rear end opened up to replace seals and bearings on bothe axles.

New Brake booster and master cylinder installed. Brake lock will be here tomorrow then I can finish up the brake system.

MOVING FORWARD [S[S

Congratulations on coming through Covid, and surviving.
Truck's looking good, especially the O with the W in the tailgate. If you hadn't painted it a different colour, I would have been all over you like green on a frog, [figuratively speaking, of course].
Looking good.

Oh crap, I wrote a paragraph and forgot to enter it.

Once again, very nice work. I really like the W-O logo in the tailgate.

Yes, some folks have a hard time with this virus. Glad your wife in getting better.

 

[kenny c]

Looking great![cl Glad your getting through the virus ok. Good thoughts sent your way.

I was thinking about you the other day Pops, glad you and the Missis are on the road to recovery. I'm glad I had it early, seems like it got worse the longer it's went on.

Good to see you back on the Jeep! Be driving it before spring!

 

[Torchie]

Looks great POPS!!
Glad to hear that you both are doing better.

I like the little touch of the O & W being painted inside as well as outside

 

[I-R-POPS]

Thanks for all the well wishes!!!!!

Shop time is good time! I Got the brakes all installed yesterday and the rear brake lines plumbed in. I like all new parts when doing brakes. Less cleaning!

Just need to get the front lines made up and installed then bleed the system out. And of course I can't find the new differential plugs that I bought!!

Thanks Old Iron. My Bride even gave me a thumbs up on that one.

Progress....

I finally got the brake lines all plumbed in today. It shouldn't take 3 days to make and install brake lines.

Started bleeding the system and I've got one double flare leaking that I need to redo. I guess 1 out of 16 isn't too bad but it still gripes me but not enough to make me buy a new flaring tool.

 

[I-R-POPS]

More Progress.....

I needed to do something with the bed to get it out of the way so I put it where it belongs. I've been thinking I would wait till I got the wiring harness in place but I can snake it all in with the bed installed.

I like it when you get to put some big pieces on. Makes me feel like I'm doing some good towards the end goal. [cl[cl

Rear fenders tomorrow.

Fenders...

Rear fenders installed and fuel filler neck hooked up today.
Still stepping in the right direction.

 

[Old Iron]

I really like the two tone paint and the colors you chose.

I'll second that POPS. I'm still so impressed with that rear bumper, it's a piece of artwork.
