GirsMJ86 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Image Not Found Anyone have the specs for this truck. Other then it was a 63-67 Gladiator, manual, 4x4, step-side, empire blue, so on and so on. I mean like real specs. Or if you could take a guess at tire size and lift size that would help. I want to get one just like this one day and I love the looks of this one. So I would like to make it as close as I can. Thanks, Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carnuck Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 The J300 is nicknamed "Reba" (stubborn and female is what they called it. Inside joke about Reba McIntyre who was in the movie. Get the DVD and watch "The making of") and has a Buick 350 (they busted the Dana60-2 rear axle in the second film and rolled it off a cliff). Anyone see the last of the series with the M715? J100 was the designator for the first Wagoneers and the trucks were J300 till they added a zero (4 digit numbers) J1000 was the 1/2 ton and J4000 the one ton. In '74 they cut the designators back to J10 and J20 (with a couple J30 campers and tow trucks) til the Jtruck went away in '88. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 the one is the 2nd film is actually like 2 or 3 junkyard trucks fixed up and made to run since they could not find the one from the first movie. they all look as close as they could make em look to the one in the first movie. if you watch close you can tell differences. i own the "attack pack" which has all 4 movies. don't ever watch the 4th one and the 3rd isnt much better. the 1st and 2nd are still the best but the first is the one that we all remember.

carnuck Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 now that I can see the picture (I enhanced it too) it's a J300 with Dana 44 closed knuckle front (unless they stuck in an upgrade with disc brakes) and D44 rear. It's @'65 (before they put chrome around the top back edge of the cab) and probably has something other than stock or an OE Buick 350 in it. Except for the box, my '73 J4000 was very similar. It was semi float Dana 60 rear with 5 lug (like CJs and Fords) with closed knuckle D44 front and drum brakes all around (at least it wasn't the rare 12" drums!) There's a pic on here someplace of it with an XJ or full size Bronco shell sitting on top of the box before I hauled them away for scrap. With the J20 D60 full float rear, I haul up to 6500 lb loads.

GirsMJ86 Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 i will be upgrading to discs in the front (and rear if i can). and i will upgrade the engine to a 401 or 360 unless the one i find already has one of those in it in good running order. but i won't settle for one unless its 60s or 70s with the thriftside bed. do you know when they stopped offering the small rear window? and which was more common do you think with this bed?

JeepcoMJ Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 small rear window more common with the stepside gladiator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 small rear window more common with the stepside gladiator figured since the brochure i am looking at right now for the 63 gladiators shows it like that. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carnuck Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I'd sooner score a Mopar D60 from a Super Bee (that's just about the right width to bolt into an MJ) Had a line on one but haven't heard back yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
