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 .
These doors came with Dexter’s Esslingen remanufactured jeep. None of the people at G503 knew anything about them. He believes it is part of a complete winter top. He was wondering if anyone knew when they were make, whether they were civilian or military, or US or European and Approx year. Really, if anyone knows anything about them it would be helpful.

He has Mark Askew’s books, these links http://www.smcars.net/forums/jeep/32621-willys-mt-tug-6×6-1941-a.html, and information from Fred Smith. Anyone know of other information source regarding this vehicle?

Greg wants to add full floater hubs to his rig, but needs a couple items.
He writes, “Looking for a floater kit or pieces to make my rear D44 CJ axle a floater for flat towing. I’m using Dualmatic locking hubs up front, and have two additional spare sets I’ll use to build the back hubs. Primarily just need the axles if anyone may have a spare set. Or perhaps someone has a long one I can cut down, and respline for the long side, then I’ll use my long side to cut for the short one.”

Anyone have the right 1904 Holley (or 1909?) for the f-head installation into a flattie? I’m trying to help a reader find one.
If I understand correctly, these are the correct carb numbers: R-2003A und R-2003-1A (Ford p / n of CODE-9510B or CODE-9510D)
Here are some links with information about the Holley carb / f-head / flattie install

William has a 1962 Willys Wagon that has a F-head. He is looking for another F-head engine.
He writes, “I own a 1962 willy jeep wagon. With a f-head 134 cast iron block and head with mechanical lifters, 3 main bearings forged steel crank and rods The intake valves are in the head but the exhaust valves are in the block. I am looking for a complete engine or a short block with this configurerations. Please send email to willyjeep61@yahoo.com with price”
Norb purchased this basketcase and is working to transform it into a custom wagon. However, he is puzzled about the grille.
Norb writes, “I own a 1953 wagon that was a plow truck out in Wyoming for most of it’s life. It came to me with a Ford Y-block motor. The frame and suspension were shot, but the body is pretty good. I chopped the top and put it on a shortened Dodge Dakota chassis with a 318 V8 and 5spd. trans. Should make a nice little hotrod. I know it was a “Jeep salad” when I got it. It had been hit in the front and repaired many years ago. I cannot ID the grill though. The side aprons have parking lights on them. The air intake hole in mine looks factory, but they are usually below the parking lights.”
I asked Dan for his input. He wrote, “It looks like someone added a heater inlet hole to an early wagon grill (which were solid and didn’t have a hole) and then added extra marker lights also in a different position than factory. The heater inlet hole looks both larger and higher than what the factory added to the later wagons. I’m not sure when the factory added the heater inlet hole, but my beat guess is late 1950s.”
So, has anyone seen a factory wagon grille with the intake hole where Norb’s is?
For comparison, here is an image search for 1953 Wagon grilles

“Wanting to buy body parts for a Willys CJ3B. Prefer early 1960s but will consider whatever you have. I’m specifically looking for the cowl, firewall, 4-inch side spacers, and dash, things that usually don’t rust out on these. I’m trying to finish a project and locating these items would make it easier.
CJ3Bs are sometimes called the “high hood” or the “ugly Jeep.”
Will consider complete CJ3B vehicles as long as the price is right. Missing motor or frozen motor will be fine. I have cash.
I’m in Owensboro, but willing to travel for the right parts.”

Mike wrote to me yesterday. He’s looking to trade for a jeep.
Mike writes, “I discovered your website about a month ago while looking for a willys to fix up. I am looking for a 1940s or early ’50s willys that someone is willing to trade for a snowmobile and 2 place trailer (est. value of $2500). I am hoping you may be able to help me with this as i haven’t had much luck on my own. i would like to find one that needs some work, but not something i need to start from scratch with. as long as the motor isn’t frozen and there aren’t any holes in the body, i think i could work with that. I am located in central Ma, so something within 10hrs drive would be preferred.”
So, if you have anything you think Mike might like, contact him at: m.holm.sfd at gmail.com or contact me d@ewillys.com.
