For a good read on CJ6’s pick up the December issue of Vintage Truck Magazine.  Fellow Jeeper (and Bantam trailer owner) Bill Norris has authored two articles on CJ6’s - one an overall history of the model, and a the other a feature on a super-sweet 1967 CJ6 owned by a funeral home here in MI, with only 14K miles on the ticker.

Of course I have to rib Bill a bit for describing the CJ6 as a “Supersized” Jeep…

The only error I spot in the historical article is where Bill ID’s the CJ6 body seams as being “used to reduce the door opening of the M170”.  In Bill’s defense the photos used show the seam clearly on the passenger side, but not at all on the driver’s side.  For those without a CJ6 to look at first-hand, these seams are present on both sides of the body, and are where the factory took a CJ5 body, split it apart and added the 20” of extra sheet metal in.  They correspond to an extra floor section that was added as well.

In other magazine news, the latest issue of JP Magazine has a writeup on the recent EarlyCJ5.com run in CA where a couple of CJ6’s were in attendance.
