This delivery list found by Rodger Birchfield shows 135 Jeep conversions built
by Boyer Fire Apparatus of Logansport, Indiana, between 1946 and 1950.
Many of the Boyer units were sold through Willys dealers across the U.S. In
addition, the list below indicates that about 35 Boyers were exported by Willys,
and Rodger has found documentation indicating that 20 of those went to the
Brazilian military (see Boyer CJ-2A Fire Engine in Brazil).

Note: Although the Boyer conversions are mostly 1947 CJ-2A's, there are several
CJ-3A's among the later conversions, including a couple delivered for use at the
Willys factory (near the bottom of the list).
The CJ-3A in the photo is apparently ready for delivery as "Oak Spring No.1."
It carries 15-gallon soda-acid extinguishers in the cab and on the optional
tank trailer, as well as carbon-tet extinguishers behind the driver's seat.
