This guy put plates on it for the first time just 2 days ago. It was his friend’s since new, but after his friend died of cancer five years ago , it was left to him. The last 5 years have been spent totally restoring it.

Damn. Thats a beauty.
Not a fan of the wheels though.

Long bed, too. Way too nice to ever use for trucky-things.

they clash a bit with the off-white. I would like to see it match the off-white or wheels that match the chrome details on the truck.

Really? why? Colour, design or other?

Magnificent!
That’s a wonderful tribute to his friend. I would cry a lot, if I were in his shoes.

I think the wheels are perfect for it. They’re absolutely period correct.

Now that is a Jeep truck.

That thing is gorgeous. And a fine tribute to his friend.

Disagree. It is possible to do truck things carefully. My dad is a contractor, and he keeps his trucks in near showroom shape.

You really have to go over the top to get my stamp of approval.
This Jeep gets two of them.

That’s is a remarkable looking truck.

Wow. Haven't seen one this clean since they were new.

Period correct, yes, but white wheels on a cream color vehicle clashes. I think chrome finish on the same wheel would look spot on.

What Yowen said. I don’t think white on a cream vehicle looks correct.

Kinda cool how Jeep made their new truck look pretty retro.

Pretty nice, I’d say.

I think it works personally, but chrome or black versions of these same wheels would also be excellent.

Timeless design, well done, Brooks Stevens hit it out of the park even 55 years later .

Damn that’s gorgeous! And I’m sure it’s a treasured memory, too. Neat story.

I’m partial to the Rhino grille but the razor is a close second.
Yet another post I have in draft stages but dear heavens is that one a lot of work. So many grilles over the years.

There was one at the Toledo Jeep Fest with fewer than 5k original miles. Stunning.
