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 .
This is pretty cool, seeing how the PTO connects to the winch: good visual.
And probably worth the asking price!
What Ramsey winch ? I see a Koenig winch .
Oh lord …. just commit me now, as I hear the old folks home calling … Yep, I saw Koenig and wrote Ramsey. Thanks Terry.
I throw this question out to the viewing audience…..
Was it possible (or has anyone seen) to have the front mount PTO winch AND a snow plow from the factory?? I say “factory” because I know there is someone out there who has done one up custom. Seems the winch sits in the frame rail area, just where the lower portion of the ram & light frame would exist.
Part of the answer depends on which snow plow you’d use. I thought I had a list of the different snow plows offered for the jeep from 1945-1960, but I cannot find it if I did. In lieu of that, here are some snow plow brochures: http://www.ewillys.com/category/advertising-brochures/?s=snow+plow
I took a quick look and the K&K is one that looks like it would bolt up without interfering with a winch. The Sno-dozer might also work.
Bought the entire chassis and drive train today. One thing of note is the front shackles are reversed.
Congrats Sam! Sounds like it was an early CJ-5 chassis if the shackles were reversed.
Thanks for the link, Dave. As usual here, saw a whole bunch of stuff I hadn’t been aware of! I have a Meyer plow with the Monarch hydraulic system. The Meyer sheet has a short blurb about “custom” bracketry.
The Bros machine was interesting. I had seen something like it, but it had a plainer rotating assembly.
