The Jeep DJ (also known as Dispatcher ) is a two-wheel-drive variant of the CJ four-wheel drive series. Production began in 1955 by Willys, who was named Kaiser Jeep in 1963. In 1970, American Motors (AMC) purchased the Jeep operations lost Kaiser money and founded AM General, a wholly owned subsidiary that built the DJ until 1983.

DJ-3A
The DJ-3A was introduced in 1955. It used the older CJ-3A body style, along with an L-134 engine. Unlike the CJ-3A, it comes with a column shift or a three-speed shift in Borg-Warner T-96's manual transmission speed. It is offered with many different body options including soft top, hard top, or even full van body. One of the models is a postal delivery vehicle with driver position on the right side for mailbox delivery
In early 1959, Willys introduced the Jeep Gala to the export market and used the desire for the agile size and open bodywork, but did not need to drive four wheels. This model is gaining popularity as a "fun car" in resorts in Hawaii, Mexico, and the islands of the Caribbean region. It's finished in pink, green, or blue and trimmed with the same white cloth, as well as with a rim on it.
In the fall of 1959, a similar model called Jeep Surrey was introduced in the US market. The main market targets are resort hotels and holiday centers. It also serves as a cheap rental vehicle for their guests. The Surrey is fitted with the top of standard striped fabric, as well as a cloth cover that is suitable for what is advertised as a "Continental Tire Fist."

DJ-5 and DJ-6
The DJ-3A was replaced by a DJ-5 right-hand drive Dispatcher 100 in 1965. It was based on the CJ-5 and used the Hurricane and Dauntless machines. The older 20-inch (508 mm) wheelbase model DJ-6 was built from 1965 to 1973 with the CJ-6.
DJ-5A via DJ-5M
The DJ-5A was introduced in 1967, starting the letter system showing a change in the series.
The DJ-5A (Kaiser Co.) uses the CJ front end standard, with four-cylinder Chevrolet Nova 153Ã, cuÃ, in (2.5Ã, Â ° L) engine and two-speed automatic Powerglide transmission. In 1971, this was transformed into a unique five-slot grid with no turning signal that was only used on post Jeep. The 1971 model actually has a grille that extends past the front edge of the hood. This allows more space for AMC Straight-6 machines and radiators. While resembling the CJ series, it was built as a fully enclosed rear-wheel drive vehicle, with sliding doors (which can be unlocked while driving), and a swinging back door. Most models only have a driver's seat and a letter tray where the second seat will normally be placed. One improvement from the previous Jeep was the installation of rear springs outside the frame rails, thus providing greater stability for vehicles with heavy cargo-covered areas, especially at highway speeds. Most models are also equipped with limited slip differential and heavy duty steering gearbox.
AM General uses various plants during production. DJ production ended in 1984 with the DJ-5M, which uses a 150 Straight cu engine at (2.5Ã, L) AMC Straight-4.
DJ-5E Electruck
American Motors experimented with electric vehicles and started in 1974 mass-produced DJ-5E, a rear-wheel drive delivery van, also known as Electruck .
Similar in appearance and in most dimensions, the DJ-5E is powered by a set of two 27-volt lead-acid batteries with 54-volt 30 bhp (22 kW; 30 PS) DC motor compound wound with electronic regulation made by Gould Electronics. The US Postal Service purchased 352 vehicles for use in cities with serious air pollution. The Electruck is capable of sailing at 33 mph (53 km/h) with a range of 29 m (47 km) with 20% of battery power remaining in the reserves.
USPS logo and replacement
Although the vehicle was discontinued about ten years before the eagle logo for the United States Postal Service was changed (being the head of a blue and white bird in the form of an envelope) some of the live DJs in the USPS fleet had a new logo on the door.
The Unlimited Wrangler is currently available on the right drive for USPS shipping in rural North America. It has replaced DJ Jeep for USPS role.
