Exterior
Its squared front fenders, reminiscent of an Autocar truck, and pressed-in body lines, presumably meant to evoke the paneling on woodies from the past, was a real landmark when it first appeared as a 1946� entry, as the domestic industry's first all-steel station wagon designed by well know industrial designer Brooks Stevens. And this one is no exception, draped in Gray paint, with a Dark Gray top, the paint shows very nicely. Panels are straight, and gaps are good. Chrome is in fine shape. Wheels are Cragar 17 inchers and throw on some key areas of red and black pinstripe flourishes and we have a great looking, go anywhere wagon...road trip!

Interior
Swinging the simple doors open the interior has been updated with leather seating, courtesy of a 2009 GMC, the buckets in front covered in leather and just clean black carpet in the rear for plenty of gear. Center mounted dash has been upgraded with various toggles, knobs and a woodgrain covering. Interesting placement of the radio directly above the steering column. vents located that provides heat or cooling when you road trip. A note to the rear gate, nice oak furring strips provide a runway to slip stuff into the rear compartment without messing up the carpet. A tight headliner hovers above all this.

Drivetrain
Long gone is the paltry original 4-cylinder engine, now it has 350 CID crate motor, a 700 R-4 Overdrive Lockup automatic transmission, all hooked to a 3.90 posi rear driven by a balanced drive shaft. The Painless wiring harness keeps things electrically sound. Crank er up!

Undercarriage
Black rust free straight sturdy steel underneath, with a cooling fan, power steering and power brakes round out this nicely restored S-10 Chassis and undercarriage.

A Willys resto-mod if you will, plenty of great upgrades, but retaining the original stamped steel body and all its silver charm, original badging, and grille. Now you've got some power in your corner, comfort from modern AC and heat, structural steel in your pocket, and comfy leather under your but! VIN Decode
