If you want to ask a trivia question here, you need to answera question first.
(also answering jrich80): BUT, if you are just looking to get help, start a new thread in the engineering/technical forum, you'll get better results that way.
But, yes, Duesey got it. Willy's won the contract (by a huge margin, as well). They didnt have the production capacity, and the army needed it immediately.
So, they also contracted (cant remember right now, but, it began with a B, I think Bantam) to make it. They couldnt meet demand, and Ford got in on it. So, there were actually 3 manufacturers.
So, Duesey gets another one.......and this will bump the thread up nicely, and maybe others will get in on it (wink wink nudge nudge).
