WTB: Manuals for Willys All-Steel SW

Hey fellows, this is my first question to the list and already please pardon
me for the #non-milspec# vehicle question I am about to present, but AFAIK
these vehicles were used by paramilitary units in Brazil, which is where I
live, BTW. The pickup version - Jeep Truck - were called F-75 in Brazil and
were used by all branches of the armed forces, actually they are still in
use, being discontinued and sold as surplus in Army auctions.

I own a Brazilian made '69 Willys-Overland All-Steel Station Wagon (AKA
Utility Wagon), 4x4 with auto hubs, F-161ci f-head 6 cyl. engine.

I am gathering information in the form of factory service manuals, military
reference, military manuals, etc, IOW, anything that may help me to overhaul
it. From the bottom up!

The car is pretty much in MINT condition. However, there is the usual wear
and tear for a 27 years old vehicle. Worn suspension bushings, wandering
steering, squeaking and rattling and so on.

If anyone is wandering about the engine, although it was not used much in
the states, apparently Willys chose to exhaust its inventory and therefore
exported remaining engines, parts and tooling to Brazil - I do not know
about other countries.

If anybody out there can help me by indicating resources for info and parts
or tools and/or supplying "hard evidence," it would be greatly appreciated!

I am waiting for my first Army Motors and Supply Line mags to arrive anytime
soon!

Thanks to all of you in the MVPA and MIL-VEH list!
