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 .
I ran across this thread today at alaska4x4network.com. The designer wanted to combine a couple trucks into a four door truck. He photoshopped the mockup together below. I think it would make a good looking project.
Thanks for linking to this – it was definitely worth seeing; I haven’t read the whole post, yet. Having a wagon as a starting point will solve the problem with making a “square”, factory-looking door. That way, you don’t end up with this look:

I just finished the original thread – they mention that the cab is tapered – is that the truck cab, the wagon cab, or both? Maybe I should post over there…
A real nice one of these units was at the Mid West Willys reunion.
4 door wagons all around:

Good point Or. I sure don’t see the four door wagons for sale often. Also, if anyone runs across any rare 3 door wagons, let Dave over at Willys country know. He’s always looking for those pics. http://www.willyscountry.com/3_dr_willys.html.
here is the one John is talking about:

Yes, I am a Willys newbie.
Lylito,
Regarding your tapered question, I believe what they are saying is that the front of the cab is narrower than the rear; so putting one after the other causes a connection issue. I can’t say for sure if that is true or not. If it is, than it might be simpler to make a truck out of a 4 door wagon.

I think it would be cool to build a 4 door Jeep truck, but I would use the front doors from a truck or a wagon and turn them around( right door to the left rear side, left door to the right rear side and hinge them at the back like suicide doors. You could use the stock hinges that way. You would have the vent windows at the back and you could use the A pillars as C pillars. Some sheet metal work could fill in the area from the vent windows to the back portion of the regular Jeep truck cab. Using portions of the roof of a station wagon, you could fill in the area needed in the roof extension.
Here are a couple others:

And one more with rear suicide doors (though it’s not a true 4 door)

One other option is to use the front of a 3 or 4 door truck (http://www.willyscountry.com/4_dr_Willys.html) … though these are pretty rare wagons and I risk saying this and receiving the scorn of willys wagons restorers 🙂
