Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
While searching ads this morning I ran across a 1958 CJ-5 with a Browning 2 speed. I’ve never heard of that, so I looked into it, but couldn’t find out much about them. Anyone ever use one of these? Are they tough enough? Apparently, they look similar to the Ranger Intermediate Overdrive that I show to the right.
Have heard of the Ranger by AA but not the browning…..
I was tought to drive a 1954 autocar tractor trailer when I was 16, that was 1972. It had the standard 5 speed main tranny and a 3 speed brownig auxilary. No power steering . That is what brought me to this page , I’d like to find a browning 2 or 3 speed to bolt up to an early 50’s chevy dually. If anyone can shed any light I’d appreciate it.
I’ve been told the inline 6 cylinders with 2 speed air controled rear ends were, geared for the 45 mph speed limits of the early 50’s. I would prefer to keep this truck stock and utilize the dump bed in my business., they also lacked modern suspension equipment. and tires that limited there safety at higher speeds. Sorry if this isn’t exactly what you were discussing. Rick Reed
Hi Rick,
I’ve seen these appear on occasion. I can keep an eye out for one.
I’m not sure if this is what you are looking for or not, but check this out. http://salem.en.craigslist.org/pts/1576475344.html
Here’s a search link to check for overdrives in the Western US off of Cragislist http://www.jaxed.com/cgi-bin/sd.cgi?cat=pts&fil=overdrive&state=XW&submit=go
Best of luck,
