1941 Willys pickup is the world’s most beautiful truck
So, what award has this classic 1941 Willys pickup truck actually won?
Well, it’s an incredibly important and prestigious one – and one that comes with a lot of competition.
The competition in question was the third annual O’Reilly Auto Parts Grand National Truck Show.
The show, presented by Classic Truck Performance magazine, is a really big deal.
It hosted more than 400 trucks in Pomona, California, on September 26th-27th – at the Fairplex.
Of course, like with any show, there is one award that stands out among the rest.
And that award, in this case, is the ARP World’s Most Beautiful Truck Award.
It is one of the most coveted and respected awards anywhere in the custom truck world.
Awards were given in more than 65 top-rated judged classes across the weekend.
But all eyes were on this 1941 Willys pickup that scooped top honors.

This year, the award was given to Larry Jacinto’s 1941 Willys pickup truck.
The build itself was a creation brought to life by Veazie Bros. Fabrication.
And to say that it was a more-than-worthy winner is somehow still an understatement.
Under the hood, you’ll find a blown and injected LS3 motor topped with a polished 6-71 Littlefield blower.
The incredibly polished powerplant is complemented all too well by the exterior.
Veazie Bros. did an incredible job on the body of this 1941 Willys pickup.
It now features a fully custom 1946 Chevrolet truck bed and tailgate.
The metalwork of the chassis flows seamlessly throughout the entire design.
Finished in a deep blue by Mick’s Paint, this 1941 Willys pickup truly reflects the work that has been put into it.
