Willys-Overland – other models: the Jeep Truck and Pickup from Toledo, Ohio, four- to eight-cylinder engines of 2,199 to 4,916 cc, kerb weight 1,406 to 1,620 kg
Willys-Overland of Toledo, Ohio, developed the Willys MB during the Second World War, which together with the near-identical Ford GPW became the origin of the Jeep; after the war the company built the civilian CJ off-road line and, on the same technical basis, light commercial vehicles such as the Jeep Truck and plain pickup and truck variants. The type 451F listed here and the designations Jeep Truck, Pickup and Truck represent these early commercial versions of the brand, from which Kaiser-Jeep, American Motors and, eventually, today's Jeep brand emerged.

The register lists 4 versions with 2,199 to 4,916 cc from four- to eight-cylinder engines, kerb weights of 1,406 to 1,620 kg at a gross vehicle weight of 1,996 to 3,019 kg, a length of 4,670 mm and widths of 1,680 to 1,920 mm.
The Jeep Truck and its pickup variants transferred the off-road technology of the civilian CJ range to a commercial vehicle with a load bed, founding its own tradition of off-road-capable pickups in the United States. The spread from four- to eight-cylinder engines shows how the range developed over the years from a simple off-roader to a more powerful working vehicle.
When buying these historic vehicles, key points are corrosion on the frame, load bed and cab, the condition of the axles and transfer case of the four-wheel-drive system, and the originality of the engine and fitted components. Spare parts are today mostly available through specialist Jeep and Willys vintage dealers in the US and relevant clubs.
