The Morris Commercial J-type the Austin 101 van, is a 10cwt (0.5 ton) van, was originally launched as a Morris in 1949 remaining in production until 1961. After the formation of the British Motor Corporation in 1952, by the merger of Morris' parent company, the Nuffield Organization, and Austin, the Commercial name was dropped and the van was marketed as the Morris J-type. The van followed the emerging trend of having forward controls and sliding doors on each side. It was made in both left and right hand drive versions. As well as complete vehicles, the J-type was also supplied in chassis form to external body makers and it appeared, amongst other uses, as a pick-up, tipper truck, ice cream van and milk float. Many were bought by the British Post Office and these differed from standard in having rubber front and rear wings.
The J type is fitted with a 1476 cc four-cylinder side-valve engine based on the one used in the contemporary Morris Oxford MO car, with a three speed gearbox driving the rear wheels.

The Morris J type was upgraded in 1957 to JB type when an overhead valve version of the 1489cc BMC B series engine was fitted along with a four speed gearbox.

The Austin 101 van of 1957 to the same mechanical specification as the Morris JB, differing only by its badging and a slightly different front radiator grille.
