Your bro has a very nice looking truck, cracker.

 

I'm not a big fan of the black rims that everyone seems to be using these days.

On that white truck, I think it would look sweet with some polished aluminum baja's or atlas II's like on my wifes TJ.

 

 

Nice looking rigs, all...keep 'em comin'!

Love this! Everyone in my family has had a jeep or currently owns one. My mom had a 71 commando and a 91 grand waggy, my dads had anything and everything you can imagine, was/is the original owner of my manche, my sister drives a 91 YJ all my cousins have wranglers or libertys, a few of my aunts and uncles have WKs. I wonder who I got the jeep bug from haha

Does the T-case have a floor shifter that works in a "J" pattern - then it is probably a Dana 20 - same as my 1973 J-4000 that has a T400 in it. If it has a 4WD lock switch in the glove box or under the dash, you have a Quadratrac. Some of them had a low range box that has a shifter on the floor on the driver's side.

With the info you described it is probably a Dana 20. It would have the shifter on the pass. side of the tranny tunnel. Hard to say for sure as that year of truck would have had a TF727 and an NP208 but it would have been a driver's drop front, not the pass. side like pictured. The TH400/D20 was available in the early seventies so it could all be a swap or the 401 may have come attached to a quadratrac and it was adapted to a D20 as that is not uncommon. With something that modified it is hard to say what it is for sure.

Nothing on the truck as far i know is original/factory, so your guess is as good as mine. Unfortunately its in FL with my brother, about 750 miles away from me so i can't just step outside and take a peek, but i might be able to convice him to do it for me. I will see what he says, cause i personally have no clue what it has. If i had to guess it would probably be something pretty unremarkable, afterall a SBC and a T400 aint all that original.

 

Mountain Dude, no i can't say i've been on that particular site, but i do go on JeepForum's fullsize section quite often. there is a guy on there right now doing a full restoration on a 79, i think, its identical to mine, only hunter green and with about 25K worth put into in. You have to see it to believe it, http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f57/64-gladiator-tribute-build-1267426/

I didn't realize that it had a SBC conversion. If so, and the used the completed powertrain, you could have an NP241C. That would probably explain the shift pattern. Could also be an older unit too. The funny thing is that the T400 in my J truck is a Buick unit which they call the "nailhead" pattern, which Jeep added an adaptor plate on the front of the match the AMC engine bolt pattern.

"Nailhead" is actually the term applied to the early 60's Buick V8's prior to the last gen small block/big block V8's. I am fairly sure that the pattern on the tranny is the B.O.P. that fit Buick, Olds, Poncho, and Caddy engines. Chevy had its own bell housing pattern. Sometime around '74 or '75 Jeep finally started getting TH400's that had an AMC-specific case to do away with the adapters. The earlier TH400's bolted to the 225 in Commandos as they were originally a Buick engine and they bolted to the Buick 350 that Kaiser bought straight from GM to put in the FSJ's. Both of these engines were called "dauntless." These BOP TH400's used an adapter to the AMC-patterned engines starting with some of the I-6's.

Good call. It would make more sense for it to be a complete drivetrain swap from a '70's to mid '80's Chevy. That would give the pass. drop solid axle that this truck sports as well as the TH400. The T-case may be a 203 if it has a full-time provision ( the word "loc" on the shifter knob is a good indication) or an NP205. If late enough it could also be an NP208, the early version of what would become the 241.

I wish I could figure out to post pictures from my phone :( but everyone's jeeps look awesome! I, too, have a jeep family!

 

My mom has a 2011 patriot (MK I think)

My dad had a 1979 CJ7 and a 1981 CJ7

I have a 2000 XJ, an 1988 long bed MJ, a 1989 short bed MJ, a 1990 short bed MJ Eliminator, and a trail rig 1995 ZJ.

 

I ended up selling the 88 MJ and my dad combined both CJ7s into one and then sold it. The ZJ is going up for sale soon as I finish painting it and the XJ is going up for sale to make room for another MJ. I also have an 83 Eagle Sx/4 that I really hate to part with but it's going up for sale too. And so is my 86 Pontiac fiero.

 

As you can see I have a tad bit too much on my plate and need to downsize.
