My wife's latest purchase is a 1983 AM GENERAL DJ-5 mail jeep.

Not Military but it is cool.
Apparently from what I've read AM GENERAL took over the contract to make dispatcher jeeps around 1971 and ceased production in 1983. Over that time they used a wide variety of power plants. This is the last variation using a GM 2.4 liter inline four cylinder engine.
It is right hand drive and is the last production vehicle in the U.S. to have four wheel drum brakes.
