The Jeep FJ-3 Fleetvan was a compact delivery van manufactured by Willys Motors and Kaiser-Jeep from 1961 to 1965.

The FJ Fleetvan was based on the DJ-3A Dispatcher, but equipped with the F-134 Hurricane engine. Two models of the FJ-3 were available, the FJ-3 and the longer FJ-3A. It came standard with the familiar Borg-Warner T-90 three-speed manual transmission. A Borg-Warner automatic was offered as an option.  Right-hand-drive FJ-3s were made for the U.S. Postal Service. Most of these had horizontal grille slats in contrast to the seven vertical slats found on standard Jeep models.

The FJ-3 Fleetvan was produced first as the FJ-3 right-hand-drive postal delivery vehicle. The FJ-3 was only 135 inches long and shorter than the 154 inch long FJ-3A, but was both the FJ-3 and FJ-3A were rated for 1000 pound payload.  FJ-3 Fleetvans are identifiable by its horizontal grille slots and RHD.

The FJ-3A had an additional 19 inches of rear overhang, with an overall length of 154 inches on an 81-inch wheelbase.  While the FJ-3 and FJ-3A may appear to be a large vehicle, it was actually quite compact.
