The History of the Jeep CJ-6

Below is the history of the CJ-6, from Wikipedia.

Production:  1955-1975
Engine(s):  F-head 4 cylinder, Perkins Diesel, 225 CID V6 Dauntless, Iron Duke I4, 304 CID V8
Wheelbase:  101 in (2565 mm)

The CJ-6 was simply a 20-inch (508 mm) longer-wheelbase (101 in) CJ-5. Introduced in 1955 as a 1956 model, the CJ-6 was never very popular in the United States. Most CJ6 models were sold to Sweden and South America. The U.S. Forest Service put a number of CJ-6 Jeeps in to use. American sales ended in 1975. Just 50,172 had been made when the series went out of production completely in 1981. (Production ended in 1975 for the U.S., but continued in other countries.)

New Blog…New Attempt

I have never posted on a blog before. This shall be my first attempt.

This blog will be used for the build up and possible use of my 1961 (titled 1963) CJ-6 Jeep Willys. As you may or may not know, I do have a website for my Jeep(s). It is philsjeep.com. I wanted to attempt using a blog for updates because of the limited amount of work a blog update would incorporate versus the personal website that I maintain (which hasn’t been updated in over a year).

In the future, I may move this blog to another provider. I have no clue what is good and what is not. I didn’t even do a search to figure out a good (free) company. This one is my first attempt, my first blog, and my first build up of any type of a vehicle.
