It might seem ignorant to other Jeep folk but I owned a 1946 CJ2A and have always wondered why they made a 2A and not a 2B or was there a 2B that I'm not aware of?

Michael, Not ignorant at all. I'm not sure I'm clear on all their decisions. Here's a synopsis. CJ-1: yes, there was on pilot project called the CJ-1 that began the CJ process for Willys Overland CJ-2: There were a series of experiment CJ-2s. These were imprinted with "Jeep" on the hood and windshield rather than "Willys" CJ-2A: Why they didn't make these CJ-3s rather than CJ-2As isn't quite clear to me. These were very much like the CJ-2, but imprinted with "Willys" CJ-3A: Why go with the CJ-3A and not CJ-3? I don't know. CJ-3B: Why not call these CJ-4s? I don't know. The engine and hood and cowl were very different from the CJ-3A. CJ-4: There was a project designated a CJ-4 which became the CJ-5. Mitsubishi made jeeps designated a CJ-4. CJ-5: No more 'A's and 'B's. Naturally, being Willys-Overland, there were derivations even to those models. One example is a rare Marine jeep called a CJV-35U. There was an after production model called a CJ-2L. If you want to learn more about the CJ development process I recommend "Preproduction Civilian Jeeps", though I'm not sure how Fred sells them these days. Here's Jim Allen's review of it: http://cj3b.info/BookCJ1.html Email me at d@ewillys.com if you have more questions. - Dave
