The 1947 Jeep Pickup
This pickup was the first Jeep-branded pickup and Willys-Overland's first attempt to diversify the Jeep brand from the CJ (which was the first civilian Jeep and the ancestor of today's Wrangler). Production years were from 1947 until 1965. It came in 2WD and 4WD options. Surprisingly, the 2WD was marketed at a weight of 1/2 tons, while the 4WD was marketed at a weight of 1 ton. Both were powered by the same 4-cylinder flathead that had powered the wartime Jeep, albeit with a few upgrades and a whopping 3hp rating increase.
