This one was apparently a forest service truck.

Maybe a custom-ordered deal?

Well it was a government vehicle, I’m not sure, we better ask the king of rust.

Fleet sales back then, I think.

The advent of “the club cab” from Dodge, which grew to Ford’s “SuperCab” and the imitators, was relatively late. I “think” that big fleet buyers, like railroads, oil, utility companies had a secret menu item for it long before though — I believe most everybody offered their commercial fleets a full four-door “CREW CAB” truck. I remember seeing the inside of a Chevy like that from many decades back. And it was spartan back there. Bench seat. Window crank and a door handle.

My money is on that not being factory. Don’t think Jeep ever made a crew cab.

I did find this incredibly beautiful example of a  regular cab on YT while I was looking, however. Dayum.

Well the paint looks original and they said it was a forest service vehicle . Maybe for the government? I’ll try and find out.

Jeep forum says, “They made them for a short period of time. It was a custom order thing. You could only get one on an early build ‘85, right alongside the longbed chief.”

I’m pretty sure it would show up here, but definitely let us know what you find out.

Fleet sales.  Ford and Chebby would sell a utility a load of “Crew Cabs” long before it was mainstream.
