Super Wagoneer Story in Dispatcher Magazine

Post by WagScribe »

A year back, I did a couple of articles on the Super Wagoneer and it's derivatives for both Four Wheeler and Dispatcher. A version of the FW story has been online a long time but it was rather constrained for space and the online version is missing more, namely the image captions.

Bill Norris, editor of Dispatcher, gave me a lot more room to tell the story, from the first concepts in 1964 to the last derivative in 1971. Some of the folks here have been asking to see the Dispatcher story but I can't just post magazine stories without permission, even if I wrote them. Bill decided enough time has gone by that he would post the story up on his site for a free peek at the kind of work Dispatcher is doing. If you are into Jeep history, this is a magazine that will carry your interest. All Jeep- All the Time! The link below will take you direct to the story.

I have another FSJ story coming up in the next issue, by the way.
