Willys Story Parts Sources
There are many web pages about Jeeps, but when they mention Willys, they are usually talking about the WW2 military vehicles. When they talk about non-military Willys, they mean early CJ's. There is almost a conspiracy of secrecy that Willys made some Jeep Trucks and Wagons from the late forties to the mid sixties. This page is dedicated to the Willys 'Jeep' Utility Vehicles. What I know about the history of Willys is contained in the Willys Story. Over the years, I have ridden in friends' Jeeps including old Willys wagons and trucks, but only recently (1996) have I become an owner of a Willys. You'd have to understand my situation to understand why I love my Willys. If any of you are wondering how to get that old Jeep up to highway speed, consider an overdrive. It's great for gear splitting also. I have repaired my Timken axle, which requires a monster puller to get those rear hubs off. I also added new front springs, and replaced the left front axle shaft. If you are thinking of restoring a Willys, my advice is free. I've only owned a couple of Willys, but I've been looking carefully at everyone I see. I've noticed a few things and researched a little, so for those of you who are trying to figure our a Willys year, I'll give you a few hints on model years. Buying & Selling: I get lots of notes from people wanting to know where they can find a Willys to buy or asking help selling a Willys. I'm not running a service here, but you are welcome to put a picture in the Willys Gallery and mention that it is for sale. Also, consider the following:
ClassicJeep for discussions on restoration (a.k.a CJML) Newsgroups: If you have the time and patience to sift through tons of silly debates about TJ's vs. YJ's, you can occassionally find bits about Willys trucks and wagons on the Jeep+Willys newsgroup or the 4x4 newsgroup.
