Danish Army
Specific: Part of the batch
bought 1952 - 1955 as supplement to the jeeps delivered
under the MDAP,
and to replace scrapped vehicles.
Historical: The Universal Jeep CJ-3B was
introduced as a 1953 model by Willys-Overland. A
limitation of the wartime jeeps, and the post-war
civilian models CJ-2A and CJ-3A, was the limited horsepower of the
4-cylinder L-head "Go-Devil" engine. The new
F-head "Hurricane" engine, which Willys began
putting in its larger vehicles in 1949, had its intake
valves in the head rather than the engine block, allowing
them to be larger.
The vehicle had flat front fenders, but a higher-profile
hood to accommodate the F-head engine. It offered higher
horsepower and torque than the CJ-3A.
The CJ-3B was
introduced as a transitional model between the
flat-fender CJ-3A, and the forthcoming CJ-5, the civilian
version of the M38A1.
