This is a civilian model that featured small front lights,position/turning lights in one assembly on fenders,sunken round side turning light near doors.
Factory name was Fiat 1101A,powered either by gasoline and Diesel engines.
She was a sturdy vehicle,4F1Rx2 transmission whith sincromesh on 2’3′ 4′ gear,IFS,RRS whit manual locking differential,tilting rear tailgate,eight seats.
Take a closer attention to engine oil cooler thermostat,it is normally locked and doesn’t acts properly.
Take a look also un front shake absorber and coil spring that are inclosed in one only group,the upper rubber cone must no touch upper side of the body for smooth ride.
In Italy there are some entusiast and clubs for this model,Fiat doesn’t supply any kind of spares.
Beware of subsequent model “Nuova Campagnola”1107A/D from the 70′-90′:this is the whorse model built either in civilian and military types.Never buy one!

In reply to Stuart Pappas. Thanks for the comments Stuart. I love the early Broncos, but the novelty of foreign built cars is pretty awesome, like the Mitsubishi CJ-3B rigs with the diesel.

Wes,
Having italian cars and a 77 bronco. all the italian car companies made jeeps of some sort for the military. That fiat is pretty sweet, hope you have a machine shop to make parts.

look up Alfa romeo 4×4 and you will see some pretty cool stuff mostly all powered by 2 litre dual head cam motors

Thanks for this site, it is really cool
