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.
