Ok I'll try to get one today.

Thanks. That was my guess.

I didn't. Thanks for pointing that out. I think eventually I'll try to find some of the old turbine rims, but for now they work.

How do I find out which 5 speed I have? Anything to tell me what axles I have?

I wasn't even sure if it was the stock paint job. I'm definitely gonna try to either preserve the original paint or get it repainted with stock paints.

Ah that makes sense. Heck I'm just glad my build sheet seems a little more comprehensive than some of the others I've seen in the registry. Some of the codes have me curious though. Any way to get more information on them?

Thanks. I'll have to check there once its daylight.

After posting in the registry, I was recommended to start a build thread. I suppose I'll start with the basics: 1986 Jeep Comanche X 2.8L V6, 5 speed manual, 4X4, long bed Grey/Black two tone exterior with a black interior Bench seat, floor shift, manual windows and locks Missing both carpet and headliner, surprisingly intact windshield, and minimal rust. I bought the truck in Fort Collins, CO for $2300 because it wouldn't pass smog. (Luckily Wyoming doesn't care about air pollution ) Other than being overdue for preventative maintenance and not being the prettiest debutante at the ball, it's in great shape and drives pretty great for being 35 years old. As of right now, my plan is to get the basics taken care of oil change brake flush spark plugs checking drums fixing the parking brake replacing bulbs getting a dash cover (minor cracking) installing new carpet and headliner I also need to find a spare wheel as there isn't a spare on the truck currently. Once I get through those, then I can start looking into the fun stuff. I welcome any suggestions or resources for information regarding these trucks as my searching has found next to nothing. The build sheet eaglescout526 gave me was more informative than the vehicle or google. I also haven't been able to come up with a good name yet. I'm sure ill find something that feels right, but I'm open to suggestions in that department also. EDIT: I'll update the title with the name I end up choosing. .

I was rather surprised at just how good of condition it's in. Picked it up for $2300 in Northern Colorado. Guy sold it because it wouldn't pass smog (Luckily Wyoming doesn't care about that stuff ), but it runs and drives pretty damn well for a 35 year old. I've used it as a regular driver, but I need to do preventative maintenance (oil change, brake flush/checking drums, etc.) I'll be sure to start a build thread.

Thanks. I couldn't believe how hard its been to get any information on these trucks. I'd still like to find things like factory paint codes and such, but I haven't found the usual information panels. All I've found was a faded tire pressure sticker in the glove box and the emissions panel on the firewall. It's also interesting because it has a bench seat not buckets. Not sure which axle configuration or transmission is in it, and I couldn't even find things like payload or towing capacity.
