Darren Posted May 3, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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.

Automan2164 Posted May 3, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
