I've been gone awhile and just read through your entire post. I love the DJ3A and think you are doing a super job in restoring yours. Your configuration with that top are among my favorites of all Jeeps. Keep up the great work.

The DJ-5 in its many variations is a complicated subject, but I can vouch for Mark as somebody who has been researching them for a while and probably knows more about them than anybody I know. He has been the source for much of the limited amount of information about them that I have been able to post on CJ3B.info. It's good to see that he has brought a lot of his research together on his new website at https://jeepdj5.blogspot.com/

Note that at the top of his home page there are several links to pages with many more photos. I have not had a chance to look closely at them yet.

Thank you for your kind words. I am hoping the review by everyone can help me document the information as accurate as possible. All comments are welcome and appreciated.

There are four links to read on the top right of the page when using the PC. Keep in mind that the Dispatcher 100 was produced in South Bend and the DJ5 was produced in Toledo.

If you are viewing on a mobile phone I think there is a menu selection in the top left for the four articles.

Both of the 1970 DJ5s on the first page are two wheel drive and are the later tube axle design which began with the five lug wheels (67 or so). The I beam that was used on the DJ3A along with the four lug wheels were carried over on the DJ5 from 65-67.

Here is a different early DJ5.

This is information I have scratched around and found on the internet. This is about the Toledo built DJ5 and not about the South Bend built DJ5x Dispatcher 100 (aka Postal Jeep).

This might be the wrong place to drop this in. Moderators, please feel free to move, edit or delete as you need to. Thanks. Mark

Thanks for the pics. Interesting to see how the RHD puts the steering arm outside the frame and up to under the battery tray. Do you have a pic of the bellcrank and tie rods hooked up to see that too? Thanks for sharing.

I have a 1970 RHD DJ5 that is built the same way. No, it is not a postal jeep, but was manufactured for contract postal carriers.
