Been thinking about this...everything being equal at a choose point,I'd actually flip a coin for the fun of it...guess that means no preference.Love both.I think of them as wartime brothers.Or maybe sisters. :)

I would have to agree. I think it is a matter of first, finding one and secondly the price. Of course all buyers are different as far as financial resources. But, having a Ford seems to be more of a time using hobby due to tracking down all the F script parts and bolts.

When I was looking for one I would have been happy with either as they are both WW2 Jeeps, as it happens the first one I liked was a Willys, so I am now an MB guy. Which ever way you go if you restore one they are a ton of work

True. About the work I mean. Besides, all that do not know any better call mine a Willys. :lol:
