In Reply to: What is a 1.5 ton Burma Jeep? posted by Don Scott on Monday, October 29, 2001 at 4:59PM :
Built by Ford during WWII. total of 6000 built as low sillouette cargo trucks. Mostly all delivered to the U.S. Navy, I dont think any ever even went to Burma. Almost a cab over soft top as you sit next to the engine. Things I like about it are the spring shackels are reversed so it gives a better ride than a WDX and has about the same wheelbase. 22.5" wheels with Firestone Super all-tracks. Braden MU-5 winch (BIG!) Tight turning radius, and they seem to be rare, so I get a lot of "What the heck is that, a russian jeep?". Things I dont like about it, Scarcity of spare parts, and the banjo type axles. I think Olive Drab planet has a picture of one on their website.
