Willys Jeep Truck

The Willys Jeep Pickup was similar to the Willys Jeep Wagon and the VJ-2
and VJ-3 Willys Jeepster. It was introduced in 1947, with model designations
of 2T and 4T. These trucks were equipped with the 134 cubic inch "Go-Devil"
engine and the three-speed Borg-Warner T-90 transmission from the CJ-2A.
The truck received a facelift in 1950 and became the 473, with the new
"Hurricane" four-cylinder engine as an option. This model introduced the
v-shaped front end with five horizontal bars, as well as an updated gauge
cluster. The steps on the side of the pickup box were deleted. After 1950, the
two-wheel drive model was discontinued. In 1953, the model designation
became 475 and the grille bars were reduced to three. A six-cylinder 6-226
model was introduced in 1954, and sales of 475 models dropped
considerably. The 226 was dropped in 1962 in favor of the new 6-230
Tornado OHC engine.

Engines:

1947-1950, 1956 - 134 CID (2.2 L) L4-134 Go-Devil I4
1950-1965 - 134 CID (2.2 L) F4-134 Hurricane I4
1954-1962 - 226 CID (3.7 L) 6-226 Super Hurricane I6
1962-1965 - 230 CID (3.8 L) 6-230 Tornado I6
It was available with only one transmission, the Borg-Warner T-90 three-speed
manual. A Spicer 18 transfer case was used on 4WD models. The Timken
51540 was an early rear axle option, otherwise the Dana 53 was standard. The
front axle was a Dana 25. A 5.38:1 differential ratio was standard.

Over 200,000 of these trucks were manufactured.

The Willys Jeep Station Wagon was introduced in 1946 as just the 463
model, powered by the L-134 Go-Devil flathead four cylinder. The 663 model,
powered by the L-148 Lightning straight six, was brought in for 1948.
Four-wheel drive became an option in 1949. 1950 saw a number of changes.
The flat grille was replaced by a pointed v-shape design with five horizontal
bars across the vertical ones. New engines were available, too. The 473
model got the new F-134 Hurricane, and the 673 model got a new 161 in3
(2.6 L) version of the Lightning six. Another big change this year was the
addition of a sedan delivery model to the lineup.

In 1952, the flathead Lightning was dropped in favor of the F-161 Hurricane,
installed in the 685 model. The 1954 model year was the first under Kaiser's
ownership. The 6-226 Super Hurricane, a flathead inline six, was introduced.
This was a version of the Kaiser Supersonic/Continental Red Seal engine.

A number of new models were added in 1955. The 6-226 model lineup
gained stripped chassis, flat face cowl, cowl/windshield, and ambulance
models. The 475 line received only the cowl/windshield. In 1958 a new
Maverick model was introduced, a comparatively more luxurious version of the
two-wheel drive wagon. It could be had with either the four or the six-cylinder
engine. The 6-230 Tornado OHC engine was introduced in midyear 1962,
replacing the flathead.

Engines:

1946-50 L4-134 Go-Devil
1948-50 L6-148 Lightning
1950-65 F4-134 Hurricane
1950-51 L6-161 Lightning
1952-54 F6-161 Hurricane
1954-62 L6-226 Super Hurricane
1962-65 6-230 Tornado

Production ended in 1965, as the Willys model had been phased out by the
Jeep Wagoneer. Over 300,000 wagons and its variants were built.
