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 two two-page brochures from Meyer once again highlight the company’s snow plows.
This first brochure showcases the Meyer Angle Dozer and is dated July of 1962 and is form no. 3-114 (though on the backside it shows 3-114 R2, suggesting the backside may have been a 1st or 2nd revision):
This second one is an undated form no. 3-283, but given it includes a Jeepster Commando, it is likely from the late 1960s.:
I have never seen the factory steel snow deflector above the moldboard before. Meyer plows were very popular in my town. A truck body company was a distributor, but has been closed for some time. Western plows are now the most popular, but I still prefer Meyer plows for the smaller Jeep vehicles.,
Question; Was the same unit Electrolift used for both 6 & 12 volt systems? I had a 1955 wagon with a 6 volt system and electrolift that always drained the battery. when that happened, I was always able to raise the plow by a direct jump start to the positive terminal on the electrolift with a 12 volt battery.
I’m not sure about this, but if memory serves me correctly, in the very early days of Electrolift, 2 separate units were sold for 6 & 12 volt. Any input on this ?
The hy-los were always my favorite, still use them on my 48 & 66 CJ’s, very dependable, never let me down. They are easy to rebuild, rebuild kits were available from Buddy at VanDine’s, he even should me how to do it. If you had a standard up-down pump, you could easily convert it to power angle by simply adding another P/A valve to the top of the pump, a “cake walk”.
Mike: I don’t know that answer, so will watch for that detail in some of the dryer material I have.
