Boyer Jeep Fire Engine
Production List


 

Boyer CJ-2A 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).

Boyer CJ-3A
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.
