I stopped and saw that thing on Hwy. 10! It's some kind of crazy collection of Jeep and Chevy parts: CJ-7ish front on a CJ-10 cab with flare-side Chevy box sides and a flat floor. It all sits on a really sketchy looking stretched frame. Someone just spliced in a chunk of frame on each side.

Kinda kool, I don't know if I like the chevy fenders, but what else would you use? Maybe The jeep trailer type fenders?

Looks like a CJ10 with a CJ 7 grill and fenders, with a chevy bed.

 

I was thinking about something similar at one point.

Not so goofy truck, but way goofy price. Of course, I have'nt seen the frame job.

Those fenders were used on a very limited series of Dodge step side trucks in the late 70s instead of the usual ones. I forget what they were called, but I believe it was some kind of regional promotion for California Dodge dealers. There may still be an example at Wildcat Wrecking (a Mopar specialty yard), near Sandy, Oregon.

It is real and worth what he is asking. That is a very rare Jeep Gaucho. There is little info on these trucks. This is only the second one I have ever seen. The first I have seen for sale.

I remember reading about these trucks in 1999 JP magazine, but have long lost the article. The link below seems to be accurate, built in the 70's based on a CJ7 with a CJ6 frame and fiberglass bed made by a Southern California company.

I really doubt that this one is a real deal. With the way that the frame looks, I can't inagine there would be anyone on an assembly line giving the nod of approval on that one. The bed is very much not fiberglass on it either. The whole thing looks really janky and put together.

User "jscherb" on the CJ-8.com site built one also. I don't know if the linked truck is a real Gaucho or the one jscherb re-created.

This one is not a real deal, and is the modified CJ10, you can tell by looking at the back corners of the door frame at the cab, the CJ10/CJ7 with world top have the sharp corners, the CJ7/guacho have the rounded corners.

 

Look at the pics to see what I mean, thats always a dead giveaway.

Surely cobbled together. Those beds were common after market custom items in the late '70's & early '80's. Numerous early S10's & Rangers had their beds swaped for those generic stepsides.
