119: Steve Kreisher’s 1962 DJ-3A
It seems you are in short supply of DJ-3A pics. My project is two years so far, and currently in pieces, but even the ‘before’ pics can show the character and differences of a two wheel drive DJ.
Two years ago, this was found at a yard sale after 15 years of being under a tarp, and its unique logo ID’d it as the one my uncle owned, and I rode in as a kid in the 60’s. It is a 1962 Dispatcher-DJ-3A, he called “Nellybelle”. I bought it and am giving her a total ‘makeover’ with the help of Kaiser Willys parts. Hope to be done by the end of the year.

Thanks for the comments. Doug, Dj3A’s were only made from 59-64 using Cj3A parts mostly, but with a straight axle for 2WD…meant to be an inexpensive delivery vehicle. This one has a serial number falling in about March of 61 productions, but Willys assigns titles at Point of Sale, which was Feb 62. I have the original Bill of Sale indicating delivery address “Siesta Groves, Florida”, which is what the logo with a sleeping Mexican say on the sides, indicating this IS the very same Jeep my uncle owned. It took me a year to find where it was, but I knew I had to have it when I saw it again after all those years and memories.

Thanks for the pics! It’d be a hard sell for someone that doesn’t know flatfenders that those four lug wheels belong on it! I hope the resto goes well, keep the rest of us nuts updated!!
