Anyone own a J20?

[Luvtohunt]

I know this isnt a Comanche question, but I own an 88 Comanche and have a chance to buy an 80 J20, don't know much about them and am hoping one of you has some experience or opinions on them.

 

Thank you for your information.

I have a '78 J20 - it's an absolute beast and I love it. I think they're great trucks. They definitely have their quirks, and the AMC V8's are notorious for oiling issues, but overall they're torquey, well-built engines. The 401 & 360 had good production #'s in the 70's, and remained basically unchanged for years, so there is still a good amount of after-market support and a very knowledgable community of FSJ people out there.

 

Here's an original review of a '78 J20:
