Thanks for the offer Jeff. I do not have a hard time frame. Unfortunately, I also do not have a garage. However, I do have a blacktop driveway and shed. I would very much like to talk with you about it. Hopefully we could work something out.

Dzimm, you make good points but Eagle understands my fears. The bodies on both are in fairly good shape. Not a lot of rust. The manual transmission one has been a work horse and I wouldn't be afraid to take it anywhere if my knee would stand up to the clutch. The auto is an eliminator with low miles but has been not treated nearly as well. Eagle, you make it sound not so hard. If that is the case, I wonder if I can get someone to do it for me in exchange for one of the trucks. Then all it would need is a little body work (nothing major) and a paint job.

I am in Fredericksburg, VA

Thanks Dzimm. The manual transmission is pretty mechanically sound. I definitely can't do the work myself. It is an emotional attachment I suppose. I am wondering if I will be able to find one that I want later. If I could find someone to do the work, are we talking $10K to do the conversion or less?

I have a 1992 manual and automatic transmission jeep Comanche. I had originally bought the manual transmission one to use around the property. I enjoyed it so much, that I wanted to have it converted to 4x4 automatic. I then found an automatic 2WD one that was an with low miles but low oil pressure. I couldn't help myself and bought it. My knee starting giving me trouble trouble and made driving the manual transmission one too hard. Since I haven't gotten the automatic one fixed yet, I wound up buying a reliable DD. Now I am trying to decided if I should still try to fix the automatic one and/or convert one of them to 4x4. I just have no idea how much it would cost to have someone do the work. Maybe I should just sell them and look for another one at a later date that is already a 4x4. Suggestions?
