About eWillys
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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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.
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 a radio jeep, vehicle comes with complete radio set. The jeep has been partly restored. Many new parts, most small parts restored. Body is good, some rust in hatchannel. Both rear corners have damage from backing trailers. This damage has been partly repaired. Motor complete but needs to be restored. Most small engine items restored; starter, generator, carb. etc. Comes with fording equipment, + NOS fording kit. This is a fun little jeep, easy to finish restoring.

“1951 M38 Barn find. Has been sitting inside since 1970. This jeep has never been licensed or registered for the road. It was bought at government auction and put away. As seen in pictures, there is a US Forestry plate riveted to the dash. This jeep was given to the Forestry where it was used and then sold at auction. It is rust free. Beautiful hat channel underneath. It has 28,000 original miles. It is 6 volt. I have all the original 24 volt generator, distributor, voltage regulator that goes with it. It is just the way the government sold it. It runs like a top. Absolutely beautiful.
Has original gas tank, all cleaned out and small repair. Still has the screen in the gas tank. The only thing that appears to have been added, or possibly put on by the Government before the sale, are the rims and the motor. Motor # does not match the body #. No bondo. No repairs have been made to the body. Brake master cylinder needs to be repaired or replaced. A brand new one comes with the jeep. Carburetor brand new rebuild. New battery, water pump. Ready to go. Call for more info $6,500 Would consider a partial trade for WWII jeep.”
One hub I’ve never seen in the wild is the Viking Hub, a 1968 product developed by Don Chapman at the Viking Automotive Equipment in Gardena, California. Before he moved to California, Chapman was active in Colorado’s offroad community and was involved in an offroad accessories in Colorado as well, most likely Dualmatic or Husky (anyone know the relationship between the two?), which were both based in Longmont.
Here’s an ad for it. Looks like a nice hub:
Four Wheeler Magazine did an article on the product and included this exploded view:
