    I'm not sure how many copies are out there. My copy is on 16mm Microfilm.
    It's not easy to navigate. I tried to upload a few pages but got a error.
    I can email a few if that would satisfy your curiousity.

    Thanks, but I was just hoping someone might have scanned it, and made it available on-line.

    Sounds like a fantastic resource, maybe someone on ECJ5 could help do that before it's too late.

    One of my great-uncles was Librarian of Congress when they put all their newspaper archive on micro-film, and tossed the papers. Turned out, the paper was more durable than the micro-film.

    Well, It's 161,403 pages. Un-indexed. So unless you use the artillery method to zero in on the target page it can be pretty tedious.

    Well, it was ten cents a page to have it scanned. That's why I know how many pages it is.
    The data tells you what Willys/Kaiser/AMC built through approx 1980, but not how many or when. It's a huge list of part numbers and change dates for plant releases of those parts. Unless you have access to the List of Parts Numerical (LOPN), and the individual Engineering Part Drawings with design changes and dates, it is not as useful as it may sound.

    At one point I started to involve volunteers to give each page a descriptive file name but the effort quickly became futile.

    No matter how much actual plant data exists to show the contrary, there is always some idiot that claims his CJ came from the plant with Harley Davidson Tail Lamps due to a shortage in Toledo. (By the way his Jeep was built in CANADA).

    It's not worth the aggravation at the moment. I just dig it out when I deem a subject interesting.

    I have had two 6V speedos, one being a “0-8” version, and am pretty sure they were both KS. Both of mine had different faces, and I think there is at least more version. It may be possible that one of mine was from a Willys passenger car.

    FWIW, in '67 when we bought my '59 CJ5 it only had the original driver's side taillight, whether or not it came from the factory that way I don't know. I do know we had the dealer install the right side taillight and turn signals.

    My '56 has a 0-8 face, but it otherwise looks exactly like the ensuing 0-9 units. Would that be a K-S?

    I had thought of K-S as the earlier art-deco type. But what do I know?
