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 .
Dean’s working on this Converto Trailer. It’s got hubs with a 5×4.5 bolt pattern. He’s wondering how he might find replacement hubs. Anyone have ideas on what would fit?
Here’s the trailer:
Here are the current hubs:
An example of the rim:

Guessing there is an issue with the hubs? With a few dimensions I would think that a trailer supply place or website should provide an answer.
Not 100% sure , but looks just like a Spen trailer hub , which used a Plymouth- Mopar wheel . The grease cap screws off like a Spen and had the same locating pin . Mopar wheels were 16” in the 1930’s and 40’s , so maybe an early Mopar would fit .? The pictured wheel looks Plymouth to me .
On my Converto I couldn’t locate any new hubs, but I did find new bearings/seals at my local NAPA. I just needed the old ones to show them.
What is the reason for these needing replaced? Spun bearing race? Sometimes it’s easier to just get I the hub repaired then try to find replacements.
