UNLEADED

For your consideration, up for bid we have a (RHD) -Right Hand Drive- 1982 AMC JEEP POSTAL MAIL TRUCK 3 Door - 1 Seater. :-) Both of the side doors slide open and the Rear Door also can be opened for 1 extra-ordin"airy" ride!..(Buckle Up! ;-). The 4 cylinder engine is strong and has less than 92K miles on it. The truck was purchased for restoration purposes but the owner no loner has the time. I have taken the liberty of adding a few photos of similar trucks that have been wonderfully restored and or Improvised upon. The truck is in running condition but, should not be driven long distances without proper maintenance. In other words, please do not plan on buying this truck and driving it home if you do not live locally. THE DJ: The DJ-5A was introduced in 1967, beginning the lettering system indicating changes within the series.The DJ-5A (Kaiser Co.) used a standard CJ front end, with a 4-cylinder Chevrolet Nova 153 cu in (2.5 L) engine and 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. In 1971, this was changed to a unique 5-slot grille without turn signals that was used only on postal Jeeps. The 1971 model actually has the grille extend past the front of the hood edge. This allowed more room for the AMC Straight-6 engine and radiator. While resembling the CJ series, these were built as a completely enclosed, rear-wheel drive vehicle, with sliding doors (which could be opened while driving), and a swinging rear door. Most models only had the driver's seat and a mail tray where the second seat would normally be located. One improvement over earlier Jeeps was mounting the rear springs outside of the frame rails, thus providing greater stability for the vehicle with its top-heavy enclosed cargo area, especially at highway speeds. Most models were also equipped with a limited slip differential and a heavy-duty steering gearbox.AM General used a variety of power plants during production. DJ production was ended in 1984 with the DJ-5M, which used the 150 cu in (2.5 L) AMC Straight-4 engine. Although this vehicle was discontinued about ten years before the eagle logo for the United States Postal Service was changed (to a blue and white envelope-shaped bird head) some surviving DJs (like this one) still have the old logo. See Pics.Current Jeep Wranglers are also modified to have right-hand drive for USPS delivery in rural areas of North America. These have replaced Jeep DJs for the USPS role. THE ENGINE: The Iron Duke (also called the 2500, 151, Pontiac 2.5, and Tech IV, though the decal on the air filter assemblies actually reads "4 Tech") was a 2.5 L (150.8 cu in) I4 piston engine based on the 301 Pontiac V-8.In fact it was half of a 301 much like the Trophy 4 that was half of a Pontiac 389. All Iron Dukes were built by Pontiac beginning in 1977 and ending in 1993. After this time, the GM 2.2 L OHV 4-cylinder replaced it across the entire lineup of vehicles that offered it.Iron Dukes were fitted with fuel injection (TBI, via a single injector in the throttle body) in 1982. This version was christened the Tech IV, Power output remained at 90 hp (67 kW). This was replaced by a swirl-port head with 9.0:1 (instead of 8.2:1) compression ratio in 1984 for a 2 hp (1.5 kW) gain.
