Kaiser-Jeep pickups
After 1963, Kaiser-Willys corp. changed its name to Kaiser-Jeep, thus closing the Willys company. In the same year that this happened (1963), the Gladiator was introduced. It was available in 1-ton, 3/4 ton, and 1/2 ton form, as a chassis and cab (all), Thriftside pickup (1/2 ton and 3/4 ton), Townside pickup (1/2 ton and 3/4 ton), and platform stake (3/4 ton and 1 ton). They were available as 4x4s and 4x2s. Production of these ended in 1988, being produced by each of the 2 companies that owned Jeep after Kaiser (AMC and Chrysler). The other pickups produced by Kaiser were the 1 ton and 1/2 ton trucks originally produced by Willys, the FC-Series trucks, and the Jeeepster Commando pickups. Kaiser ownership continued until 1970 when AMC purchased Jeep in February 1970.

Jeep Gladiator and Wagoneer ad. Doesn't the positioning of the Gladiators look an awful lot like the positioning of the Ebro Campeadores on this ad here?
I recently spotted this 1966 Jeep J2000 on jeep-classifieds.com. As you can see this truck needs some
serious work. Note that the tailgate appears to be from a Willys pickup. Also note wood rear bumper
and the strange placement of the taillights. This truck has no front bumper. To see the ad for this truck, click here
