1982 AM General DJ5-L Postal Jeep

The Jeep DJ, (also known as the Dispatcher), is a two wheel drive variant of the four wheel drive CJ series. Production started in 1955 by Willys, which was renamed Kaiser Jeep in 1963. In 1970, American Motors Corporation purchased Kaiser's money losing Jeep operations and established AM General, a wholly owned subsidiary that built the DJ through 1984. 18,000 DJ-5L's were produced in 1982.

Up for auction is a 1982 AM General DJ5-L Postal Jeep showing 52,160 miles, but the true miles are unknown. You can imagine this car delivering mail on MASH, as it now wears military colors. But chances are, the Dispatcher was never used in combat, and certainly not this '82.

Exterior
We've seen our share of customized postal Jeeps over the years and this olive drab green one is a first! Of course, it's equipped with sliding doors for easy access to mailboxes on the curb while the grille presents in the five slot configuration which does not deter from its Jeep looks. The box rear section has big windows and a solid top, and the cargo area is accessed through the large door in back that opens like a door, not a hatch. 15-inch wheels are painted to match and this vehicle has two yellow light bars on top for extra safety.

Interior
Sparse as can be, the right hand drive cabin has one seat over a flat and open floor and that seat has gray cloth with plenty of patina. The steering wheel fronts a very basic instrument cluster with a few gauges and a number of knobs and switches. A simple shifter rises from the barren floor.

Drivetrain
Under the hood is a 2.5 liter Iron Duke inline four cylinder with a 2-barrel carburetor and mated to an A904 TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the Dana 44 rear axle.

Undercarriage
A single exhaust carries a stock style muffler and suspension consists of leaf springs front and rear.

Drive-Ability
There are no keys associated with this Jeep.
