Being from south carolina salt is only used for food. Both trucks will be saved the bad transmission and motor in the white mj is mostly due to poor upkeep and repair by the previous owner. the motor and tranny now seem to be working well for 300,000 miles. went to pull a part for a door and hinges. will fix that problem in a couple of weeks. Told the wife the white was just a parts truck. (she is not buying it). So now I'll have a beater, the white one, while I restore the red 4wd then after that I'll start the white one(god I can"t afford for her to divorce me). Thanks for the welcome and kind words. I'll start a rebuild thread when we get started.

my first truck was a 91 mj fresh off the lot and totaled two years later. I was just looking for a beater truck to haul trash to the dump and boat to the lake or boat to the dump ( wife's idea VETOED) but after driving it home I decided to restore it not all original but close. I have restored a 66 mustang and a 66 F-100 wife doesn't know about second truck yet. Son will turn 16 in a few years and he has claimed the first one, so I think it will be something he can help with also. I"m not really sure what I'm going to do with them yet other than than make one out of two. will post pics in the registry in a couple of days. any one know where I can get a center console for a 4wd 5 speed

first purchase 1JTWL6518GT132145 red 4wd ac v6 5 speed SECOND TRUCK 1JTHA6613GT064821 white no ac auto i4 940 transmission

two weeks ago i bought a 86 mj 4wd 5 speed with the lr2 v6 for the princely sum of $600. for the mileage the motor and transmission are great some minor damage to the drivers door and rust in the drivers floorboard. Six days later I purchased for $500 a 86 mj 2wd i4 automatic motor is not great 300000 miles on it the body dash and interior are super. I can't believe it was headed for the crusher. I don't see any rust on the body. Both are deep south vehicles. The problem is I would like to restore the 4wd and use the other for parts, but is it feasible to replace the cab?
