About the site:

(this section copied from the site)

OldWillysForum was started in 2009 as a way to bring together like minded Willys enthusiasts, create an open knowledge base for Willys Wagons, Pickups, Forward Control, CJ, Jeepster, and Aero, and to help find parts and services needed to keep these great American classic rigs on the road.

The forum has quickly grown into a community of friends, and one of the best places on the web for Willys. The site was put together in the garage on many weekends, over a few beers, like so many of our Willys. It is run by a one-man-band and is not corporate owned. It is a labor of love and with your support will continue to thrive.

If you have never checked out or it’s been a minute since you have seen Old Willys Forum please head over and take a look at what they have to offer, it’s a great group of like minded Willys folks.

They also do a few events each year, some smaller then others, but The Run For The Hills is a very popular event out west, this year was in Quincy, CA and was really great looking. It’s a well run and multiple Willys Vendor supported Event. Can’t stress enough how well our Willys Vendors support these outings all over the Country.

In addition to making your normal introduction post over there, I made up a quick couple things that I think are useful to people new to Willys and even if you are returning or getting back in the game after a long time.

I was surprised to see this Toyota Land Cruiser museum pop up on social media. I was even more surprised to see it located in Salt Lake City. The final surprise was that it is a short walk from my son’s house. So, I’ll be visiting this place soon. The museum boasts an impressive collection of Land Cruisers.

You can learn more about this history of the museum from this Hagerty article: https://www.hagerty.com/media/car-profiles/12-off-roaders-at-land-cruiser-heritage-museum/

Craig shared this page (I think on FB), It’s as good of an explanation of Corgi FC-150 models as I have seen.

There are some jeeps coming up for auction through Sotheby’s, along with a Mule. Note Lot 322 1951 M-38 that sold for $61,600!

UPDATE: Matt shared this awesome pic of a Stork FC with a plow taken at the 2019 Great Willys Picnic.

I happened upon the Stork’s Plows website the other day. The company operates out of Bernsville, Pennsylvania. It looks like they carry a wide range of replacement parts for plows and other equipment, though how many vintage parts they have for those items isn’t clear. According to the website’s history page, the company started fixing plows and has a history of jeep support. They also sell some jeep parts on eBay.

Anyone familiar with the company?

Barry Thomas and his son Evan have been working hard to expand Farmjeep.com, a resource for early farm implements and other jeep information. As they note in the “about us” section, they are a “father and son documenting that we don’t know what we are doing since 2002” … I can relate to that as well.

If you haven’t been there in a while (or never), check it out, as the father and son duo have rebuilt the earlier site into a larger one with lots of information. The jeep lift research area is especially valuable. You can even learn a little bit about me, as Barry generously asked me to contribute a short bio for the site.
