Darren Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 The wife dragged me to a handful of antique shops on our way back from vacation today. Found this little guy, Rhino grille and an awesome tailgate. It was $25 (What a ripoff) but I had to have it. My wife took the pictures as part of her "365", a picture a day project she's been working on. I just thought you guys might get a kick out of it. Sorry if you're disappointed in the subject matter after such an exciting title.
sinkrun Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Thats a cool one I have been saving a few jeep toys lately myself and the price was pretty decent.
cody4359 Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 haha not what i expected. on the j truck note I'm working in vancouver and drove past a house that had some old army rigs out front. one seemed to look alot like a full size jeep, but it was a crew cab :dunno: was heading somewhere so didnt go back

If your back that way get a picture. What area of Vancouver. I have friends there that I visit every month or two. I wonder if it was a old Dodge, they have a "Jeep" look to some of the old ones.
lostissues Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 I have half of one of those sitting in a bucket with some acid outside right now. removing the paint and repainting it. I have been getting a few of them from ebay, there was a whole series based on that truck. cement truck, steak bed truck, fire pumper truck, camper, and I have a few wagoneers I plan on repainting next.
Darren Posted May 3, 2011 Author Posted May 3, 2011 Funny you guys mention it. Saw it at work a few months ago. I'd drive it.
Automan2164 Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 FSJ's are something I also dabble in. There are some out there that are a 4 door J-truck/Gladiator made under contract for the military. Rob
cody4359 Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 thats the one i saw, I'm working down at river road. I'm thinking it was repainted in camo but that was a few days ago, and ontop of working nights my memory isnt that great anyways. ill have to retrace my steps on the gps and see if i can find it again
cody4359 Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 i saw the owner parking the jeep today so i asked a few questions. truck is a 1973, was made for the canadian forest service, 11 were made, 5 are left according to the owner. was headed to work and didnt ask about drivetrain etc.
