DJ-5
The DJ-5 Dispatcher was a re-designed CJ-5 Universal with an enclosed cab and sliding doors. It also had a unique 5-slot grille which bumped out from the front of the hood to accommodate a larger engine. The DJ series was made up of 2-wheel drive jeeps meant for lighter, road-based duties. The DJ-5 is best known as US Postal Service delivery vehicles in the 1970s, and for an electric version, dubbed the 'Electruck'.
