Jeep FJ
The Jeep FJ Fleetvan was a compact delivery van manufactured by Willys Motors and Kaiser-Jeep from 1961 to 1975.[1] 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.

The vehicle was also produced by Mahindra as the Mahindra Fleetvan, where as of 2021, is still in production. The vehicle didn't sell well in the United States of America due to its unusual design, however, the Jeep Forward Control did sell well. Jeep tried to export the vehicle in the Soviet Union but that was almost impossible since the nearly identical GAZ-66 was sold there.
Postal Service
Right-hand-drive FJ-3s were made for the US Postal Service. Most of these had horizontal grille slats in contrast to the seven vertical slats found on standard models.
The FJ-6 model (based on the CJ-6) was introduced in 1965 for postal use, which was ultimately replaced by the FJ-8 & FJ-9 introduced in 1975.
