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: **Status Unknown** Was $7000. Dave noted that this was listed back in 2017.
Runs, drives, and hoes. Appears it was originally in Ringwood, Illinois.

There must be some seriously heavy springs in the back of the truck. The weight handing over the back bumper is tremendous, and the truck isn’t showing any sign of sagging. Plus, when you dig, you’d be compressing those springs because there are no outriggers.
Not to be contrary, but there are outriggers on this… at least that’s how it looks in both photos, above. Good point about the springs, though. I’d love to own AND USE this… so cool!
I suspect the truck was actually a 1954 model, big back window but still has the small speedo and gauges underneath, but would up titled as a 1955.
EXCUSE ME , I REPAIR AND SERVICE AERIAL BUCKET LIFTS AND I’VE A SEEN QUITE FEW BUCKET TRUCKS WITH NO OUTRIGGERS — OTHER THAN THAT , I’D WALK TO COLORADO TO GET MY HANDS ON THIS !!
This is one of earliest I’ve seen. Most have been ‘56 or ‘57. Rear axle is different, unless some had this, ones I’ve seen had model 53 semi float with 15” split rims. Which in my opinion is not an adequate axle for the amount of weight it has to carry. Also different is the heater? box I’m guessing is being used as oil cooler.
Was listed on ewillys in April of 2017.
that’s a FULL floating rear axle — not stock to this vehicle — I just found a Detroit locker unit for a spicer 53 — n.o.s. — oh ya — I wonder if it will break the keyways out of the 2 piece axle / hub ??
Thanks for letting me know Dave. I’ll hunting that down.
The axle is 6 lug and is probably a Dana 70.
does anyone have any up dates on the where abouts of this truck?
any info will be appreciated.
thank you
Keith,
I haven’t seen this listed since 2018. If I see it relisted, I’ll let you know.

I know where this Willy’s is now parked
