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 think this method of filming engine removals of L-134 and other vintage jeep engines could prove useful to folks. I didn’t know the radiator was attached to the “power pack” on the M-151. That’s handy!
The radiator is part of the power pack for the M38, A1 and probably more military vehicles if i had to guess.
MUTT ? I was in the regular army , army reserve and national guard in the 1970 s and was overseas and the states and drove dozens of M151s , and I never heard anyone call it a Mutt . It was always called a Quarterton pronounced as one word, or Jeep if it was assigned to a person as in The Majors jeep or the cook’s jeep , but never a MUTT .
Terry,
I only use MUTT because I’ve seen it used elsewhere (example, it is listed on the video’s title). After a few searches, the term appears to have originated at the vehicle’s beginning as a Military Utility Tactical Truck (MUTT). There are several articles about this. Here is one: https://www.militaryfactory.com/armor/detail.asp?armor_id=117.
Now, all that said, I’ve seen articles claiming jeep came from GP, but that’s a falsity (the term jeep was used prior to the introduction of the Ford GP). So, how often the term MUTT was used at the vehicles inception isn’t clear.
For example, This brochure makes no mention of the term MUTT: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/329466528982673295/
While this brochure labels the vehicle as a MUTT: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/329466528982673293/
Good research! Thanks David.
WOW, that was awesome. Would that technique work for F-heads CJ3B as well, maybe excluding the radiator?
