Find the Right Fit for Your Classic Jeep: Overcoming the Jeep Body Parts Challenge with Willys-Overland Motors
Restoring a classic Jeep is a labor of love, but any restoration comes with its own challenges—especially when sourcing Jeep body parts. While we all wish body parts would fall into place immediately, the reality is these aren't cheap, mass-produced plastic. Instead, you're working with genuine steel replacements designed to be as close to the originals as possible, and that may require some reworking for the perfect fit.
But at Willys-Overland Motors, we don't just help you find parts; we help you restore history. Whether you're restoring a CJ2A, CJ3B, or a military-grade Jeep like the M38, we supply the body parts you need to bring your classic Jeep back to life. Ready to get started? Give us a call to hit the trail!
From the Owner's Desk: A Personal Message
Hey, Jeep fans! Jay here. Let's clear something up—these steel parts aren't going to snap into place like Legos. I'd love it if they did, but we're talking about restoring classic Jeeps, not building toy cars. These are real, genuine steel parts, so yeah, you might need a mallet or a few choice words to get them just right.
I wish I could promise a perfect fit every time, but that's part of the deal when you're keeping these iconic rides alive. Sure, it might take some extra work, but isn't that the point? You're not just fixing up a vehicle; you're preserving a legend.
Need some advice along the way? Just reach out—we've got your back!

The Problem with Finding Jeep Body Parts
One of the toughest problems Jeep enthusiasts face is fitment issues. Many Jeep owners spend hours searching for aftermarket parts, only to end up with pieces that don't quite match their Jeep's original design. The result? Misaligned body panels, poor performance, and sometimes even more damage. We specialize in classic Jeep restoration at Willys-Overland Motors, not outfitting or upgrading newer models. Our Jeep body parts are designed to be as close to the original as possible, but since these Jeeps were hand-built with slight variations, a perfect fit may not always happen straight out of the box.
However, you get the authenticity that plastic replicas simply can't deliver.
The Solution: Genuine Steel Jeep Body Parts
Our body parts are crafted from steel and designed to fit your classic Jeep and keep it as true to the original as possible. We offer fenders, hoods, tailgates, windshield frames, and grilles—every essential component you need to complete your restoration.
The benefit? Durability. These steel parts are made to last and withstand the rigors of both off-road adventures and everyday driving. They won't crack or wear down like plastic alternatives, ensuring your Jeep maintains its rugged durability for years. And because they're built as close to the original design as possible, you'll retain that authentic Jeep look, even if some elbow grease is required during installation.
