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.
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 .
UPDATE: Still Available?
Given the duallies, there seems to be value here. It has three data plates, so likely this is a ’46.

“1947 Willy’s Jeep flat head 4 needs carb I think I have one to fit 4wd hi lo range dual rear wheels $1,000 If it’s listed it’s still available Will only trade for guns gold and diamond”
UPDATE: Daniel commented below, “these are aluminum, they are new, they come painted OD green. the bolts are sealed in plastic bags. he claims they are in canada, but the items ship from a woman in India. I am thinking Mahindra. his ebay listing is misleading at best.”
So, these may be acceptable parts, but the seller isn’t clear that these originate in India.
============
These adapters look to be the type made by Vic Hickey. If so, the HICKEY name ought to be visible on them.

(04/17/2020) Nice looking restoration. It has a few cool extras (Hickey winch and ventilating windshield). My only quibble is that I wish the rear dually fenders were rounded rather than angled.

Listed as a DRW, it looks more like an FC-170 with dually adapters. Yet, it does have the correct DRW speedometer.

“For sale 1960 FC 170 DRW. I bought this just the way it is. I got the 226 Super Hurricane unsiezed and I am starting the restoration. It has the add-a-wheel type dually setup that allows the same wheels to be used all around. This includes a clear TN title, and extra frame with an automatic transmission and transfer case.
The price will go up as more of it gets completed. I am updating my ad to show the progress to this point. I have all new gaskets for engine, hoses and belts, fuel tank with sending unit and line for the fuel and brakes, mounts for the engine and transfer case.
I ordered a windshield which should be here in a couple of weeks. I’ve got the engine cleaned up, painted and moving freely. I also cleaned up and painted some of the frame.”
UPDATE: Still Available.

That’s to Steve for reminding me to post these Rapport dual wheel adapters. I’d forgotten.
“Dual wheel hubs for cj2a – 3a – 3b Willys Jeep. Comes complete with 1 set of right hand studs and 1 set of left hand studs. There are 2 chips out of the flange on one of the hubs but they do not interfere with its work ability( see the photo). Shipping will be the actual cost of shipping a 47# box to you location. If you have any questions text me a name and phone number and I will get back to you as quick as possible”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $450/set.
This is a great price. These appear to be NAPCO adapters.
“I have two sets of dual adapters for Willys MB and Ford GPW
$450.00 cash only per set of two
The dual wheel kit is very easy to install. Remove the original lug nuts from a wheel, leave the wheel on, install extended lug nuts, install the cast hub, install next wheel, and tighten up original lug nuts on extended lug nuts.
Each set includes both left (5) and right (5) threaded extended lug nuts and two cast hubs.
Very Hard to find…
