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: Thanks to folks smarter than me, I believe these are FJ-40 seats, though the hand rails may have been added.
The guy who sold them to Dave claimed they came from off the wheel house of an M-38A1 (also known as the wheel well), but when Dave tried them on his M-38A1, they didn’t fit.
Here’s how well the fit (or didn’t fit) on the M-38A1:
FJ 40 land cruiser ?
Maybe they mistook a M170 for a M38A1? The extended wheel base would lend itself to use, including the CJ6 model. I agree tho, that the Landrover with “rear entrance” access is probably the source, considering the one sided handle bar/grip.
I would say M170 or CJ6, I think I saw a picture of one on the CJ3B site.
I did check out the FJ-40, but didn’t see similar seats (hardly an exhaustive search). So, I tried again just now. Ans, sure enough, here are similar seats, though they don’t have the side bars: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/71-fj40-rear-jump-seats.993029/ … so thanks guys!
The CJ-6 and/or M-170 wheelhouse didn’t have stock wheelhouse/jumo seats (that I’m aware of). That said, I have seen some sort of wheelhouse seats adapted to CJ-6s for carrying more people. I’m not sure what was used for seats in that case.
Thanks guys. I looked up the fj40 jump seats and that’s exactly what they are. Was hoping that they would have been for cj as cool accessory. Looks to be too valuable to chop down to size. Guess I’ll pass them onto a Toyota guy.
They look like they would fit in a Willys wagon.
look like willys jeep pickup truck seat from the 60s
