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 .
UPDATE: Barry worked the phone on this. See his comments below.
Is this the gravity dump bed highlighted in a 1955 Willys News article? It’s not an exact copy, but it’s similar. Both tilt to about 45 degrees. Here’s the article.
Read the rest of the article here.
“Dumpbed Willys , snow plow lift , hydraulic pump and valve , pretty much all there , just rusty, does not run . Also has a clear PA title .”

Very close but I don’t or can’t see any pivot points on the top of gate’s side. The bottom has very well made hinges on the bottom which appear to be dual purpose. Meaning they would become the release points before dumping. I just don’t see the upper pivots. Definitely not the same depth and appears to be somewhat longer. I’m going to call and get the info.
Dave I called and the tailgate opens just like a normal gate. I asked him to take two pictures of each side locking points and post them to his ad. He’s a fabricator and believes that it is a very well home-fabricated unit with two cylinders underneath and only about a foot deep and 4′ long by his eye.
Thanks for doing legwork on this. Yep, I guess there are some hinges on the bottom. I think I REALLY wanted it to be the one in the pic cuz it would be a great find 🙂
