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 shared this image from April 1951 Popular Science article. Per the article, at a minimum, twenty-four of these truck packages were sold.
========================
This early Monroe brochure advertises a plow (and pumper unit) specially designed for plowing fire lanes.
I think this is the only time the Willys truck is advertised using a Monroe hydraulic lift, I haven’t been able to find any.
I have all the rear PTO stuff on my 1948 Model 4WD truck — but no bean planters — I do have the belt drive unit and a NOS rear PTO safety cover .
It is strange that Monroe didn’t push the lift for the PU. Unlike the unit for Dodge Power Wagon, which they did promote, the PU and CJ units appear to be the same, with some additional underbody hardware required. You can see a drawing in this article –

Very cool,especially from a fire fighting stand point. I was never aware that Monroe made such a unit. Would love to see one. Thanks .
Hey Clam Beach 4×4,
Could I come please see your Willys truck the next time I’m in Humboldt? I’d really appreciate it.
Cheers!
