Our friends over at
offroaders.com
sent us these images of a Kaiser Jeep FJ-6 Fleetvan that was sitting for sale. Talk
about an unusual Jeep, you'd be the talk of the
town showing up on a trail ride with one of
these. The FJ-6 is a longer version of the
FJ-3 and is based on a CJ-6 chassis.
HISTORY: The
Jeep FJ-3 Fleetvan was a compact delivery van
manufactured by Willys Motors and Kaiser-Jeep
from 1961 to 1965. It was based on the DJ-3A
Dispatcher, but equipped with the F-134
Hurricane engine. Two models were available, the
FJ-3 and the longer FJ-3A. It came standard with
the familiar Borg-Warner T-90 three-speed manual
transmission. A Borg-Warner automatic was
offered as an option.
Right-hand-drive
FJ-3s were made for the U. S. Postal Service.
Most of these had horizontal grille slats in
contrast to the seven vertical slats found on
standard models.
