I had an early 50's Willys Jeep. It was a Navy model. Had a 7ft snowplow on it that used an old porta-power to raise and lower the blade. Someone had put a 300 six cylinder Ford in it and that thing would push a mountain of snow. No brakes....the plow handled that function. The radiator had a 2 inch hole all the way through it. The original fuel tank (under the driver's seat) leaked pretty bad, so I'd tie the door open (I smoked back then). Eventually ran it out of a gallon milk jug in the back seat. I bypassed the mechanical fuel pump with an electric unit. It'd suck that jug flat, so you had to reinflate it to add gas. Loved that Jeep.

There is a lot of nonsense about Ford and WW2 Jeeps in this thread. In 1940, as America began the build-up to intervention in World War 2 (the draft started that fall, NOT after Pearl Harbor), the United States Army had a competition at a proving ground for the best all-terrain automobile. Ford, Willys, and American Bantam submitted prototypes. The Ford and Willys models did not have four-wheel drive, but the Bantam did. Much to Ford and Willys' embarrassment, the little Bantam ran rings around the Ford and the Willys. Eventually, Army officials put the prototypes up on lifts to examine the undersides of them. According to later testimony in a patent lawsuit, witnesses saw the Ford and Willys engineers making free-hand drawings of the Bantams four-wheel drive layout while the Bantam was on the lift. The Army then announced the competition had been inconclusive, and invited all three companies to revise their prototypes and try again. When the second trial was held, lo and behold the Ford and Wyllis prototypes both had four-wheel drive systems identical to Bantam's. Wyllis was awarded the primary contract, with the understanding that Ford would be the main subcontractor and get about half (NOT "95 percent) of the business. Bantam was awarded a contract to make those little trailers the Jeeps used to pull behind them and not much else. Thus, while Ford may have been experimenting with four-wheel drive truck in the late '30s, their original prototype for the Jeep did NOT have four-wheel drive, nor did Wyllis'; only Bantam's did. British authors Denfield and Fry were able to pull this story together when they were writing their history of the Jeep for Bantam Books (UK) in the 'seventies, when almost all of the principles were still alive and available to tell their stories.

I had forgotten my offer. Here it is; In September 1969 I arrived at HHC & BAND, DISCOM, 4th Infantry Division, outside Plieku, Republic of Vietnam (R.I.P.). While being introduced to the unit I saw our assigned "jeep," as discussed above. On the left rear fender was a rather large OD box with knob, dials, meters and a curly cord hand set. A 5 or 6 foot long antenna was pulled down and tied to the corner of the windshield. As a brand new E-5 (and presuming I would become responsible for keeping my troopers alive) I asked who our Radio Telephone Operators (RTO) were. My guide told me we did not have any RTO's. Against the forewarning "Never volunteer for anything!," I volunteered to be trained in basic operations. Who knew? It just might save us while we were out on the road. I knew a little bit about mobile radios as a Licensed CB operator "back in the world." It was explained to me that the unit was not authorized to have a radio, hence no MOS RTO's. If "the Army" found out we had a jeep with a radio, "they" would take away our jeep but not replace it. So, we kept the Ford "jeep" and hoped that the NVA & VC would let our jeep and 2 trucks go by unmolested rather than risk an air strike, called on our radio. I got home a year later, so maybe the charade worked. Peace.

Old Henry was the man . The first all wheel drive was built in conjunction with Ford and marmon Harrington in 1938. The front axle in the jeep was a modified ford rear end. The engine was the Ford tractor 4 cylinder engine modified with a fuel pump (since the tractor was gravity fed )and a model A transmission . The Marmon name is still building front drive axles today.after all these years. I own a 1955 f100 marmon Harrington all wheel drive. Marmon was famous for winning the 1911 Indianapolis 500 first year it was run. Their ingenuity helped win ww2.1 ton 2 ton and 5 ton trucks.the little jeep in the video is a proto type that is in a museum in Missouri if I remember right.

All three prototype jeeps -the Bantam, Ford 'Pygmy', and the Willys 'Quad' had the welded slat type grille. When the Willys MB became the standardized jeep , Ford was asked to co- produce it. A Ford engineer, Clarence Kramer, designed the one piece pressed steel grille, which was cheaper and easier to produce than the built-up 'slat type. Willys followed suit and the iconic 'Jeep grille as we know it was born.

The Bantam Car Company built the first "Jeep" type vehicle as a prototype for the Army. Bantam could not meet the production requirements as the company was too small. The Army gave the plans to both Willys and Ford and asked them to build a number of prototypes for testing. The final vehicle design is an amalgamation of the features the Army liked best from both manufacturers. The idea the vehicle is a total Willys' design is not true.

Since i had a civilian drivers license, the Personnel Office issued me a Military license for a Jeep. This was so they'd have a driver for inport. 1st night on duty (Subic Bay), about midnight, i'm called to the quarterdeck and told to go to the "O" club and pick up the old man. So i run over there, talk to the Chief at the front door and they half drag / half carry the skipper out and put him in the Jeep's passenger seat. I hauled ass back to the pier, go around a corner, look over and the seat's empty . Look in the rear view mirrow and he's sitting in the road ! Slam on the brakes, back up till i'm alongside of him, jump out and run around to him. Asked him if he was alright and getting no response i somehow ( at 5'3" and 135 lbs ) managed to get him back in the Jeep and This time hook the canvas safety strap across the doorway. Get back to the boat and two others haul him up the gangway and to his cabin. I didn't say anything to anyone and the next day i passed him in the passageway. He had a few scrapes but didn't say anything to me, so i let sleeping dogs lie.

Do your research, fella. It was a Ford designed vehicle but willys powertrain that eventually became known as "Jeep". Btw, the G.I's of WWII coined that name because it was labeled as a General Purpose vehicle, or "GP's" So the U.S. military Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines just called them"Jeeps." Oh yeah, the Dodge brothers used to work at Ford. How do you like your Jeep now buddy?

If ford built the jeep the parts were built with a f on it Henry didn't want to replace parts that he didn't build evan the bolts
@Maxxis19415 жыл бұрын
Henry wasn't concerned about the replacement of parts. He wanted everyone to know that if a Willys part broke, that it wasn't a Ford part. A bit of an ego thing, because all parts were mandated to be interchangeable, but that was Henry, like him or love him.

Ford should have never gotten the Jeep contract. Bantam, the rightful owners to the Jeep, should have.
@-oiiio-39933 жыл бұрын
There was absolutely no way that American Bantam could have produced them in sufficient quantities. They were severely taxed just in assembling trailer tubs built by American Central Manufacturing to ACM built frames. They had to share production with Willys and other firms as they could not meet quotas.
@johnqpublic90742 жыл бұрын
Technically Ford didn't win. The Ford GP, vs Bantam vs Willys... The Willys design was chosen, and Ford had to make copies of the Willys design. Ford did influence the Willys design, and even the 9 slot stamped grill was a Ford design...
@buckhorncortez2 жыл бұрын
Why don't you complain about that to the War Production Board? They're the group that gave the contract to Willys and Ford because Bantam did not have the financial or production capability to meet the contract requirements.

The post-WW2 chain was as following: Willys Overland -> Kaizer->Kaizer Jeep->AMC->Chrysler. At the end Chrysler claiming this is still "same" subdivision that built original G503 vehicle. Actually this is incorrect, because this subdivision is existing today under name "AM General" and HMMWV is their product
