DidierF ◊ 2015-10-20 20:21	Yep. CJ3B, I think. (1954-1968 for the left hand drive.) (Oh, you gave the good link, Gag.) -- Last edit: 2015-10-20 20:22:15
eLMeR ◊ 2015-10-23 00:15	@ DidierF: you mean 1953?
DidierF ◊ 2015-10-24 01:43	Mmh, what did I mean? Link to "www.cherokee-fr.com" Well, while saying "1954", I meant "1954", on the basis of what I read on the afore mentionned link, self-confirmed (at least, there is inner coherence) on this page: http://www.cherokee-fr.com/~jeepfamily/Asie/Indes/MahCJ3B/MahCJ3B.htm
