kansashogan Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 I bought a '86 Comanche this past weekend. I got it mainly for the rear axle. It is an AMC 20 with 4.10 gears and Trac-loc. The guy I bought it from said it had 3.73 gears but the build sheet was literally laying in the front seat and I looked it up. The code is CC. I think it was a good score. I'm going to take what I want for mine and sell the rest. It has a tilt wheel and glove box light I want and appear to be ok. The engine is a 4 banger but is supposedly blown. It has a 5 speed and a NP 207 transfer case. Condition unknown. There are some good parts and when the weather gets better I will tear into it and see what is good. Stay tuned.
Jeep Driver Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 Do tell, what did you pay? The AMC20 is an interesting axle.
kansashogan Posted March 6, 2019 Author Posted March 6, 2019 $200 for truck, $75 for a used set of tires and wheels, $76 for a U haul trailer and gas to go get it. I had to sell the boss on the idea I that I could sell some parts and make some or all my money back. I think I will.

kansashogan Posted March 6, 2019 Author Posted March 6, 2019 I put it up by the barn on some concrete. The rust on the bed is not through, at least what I can see. It does have some dents and dings and the tail gate is shot.
kansashogan Posted March 6, 2019 Author Posted March 6, 2019 This is the truck that was on some of the Comanche forums on Facebook. Out of Hutchinson Ks.
Dzimm Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 Shot tailgate means wall art or Jeep bench! Good score!
Eagle Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 That truck looks too good to part out. What does the other side look like?
JeepSchmidt O'Guinness Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 Double check the identification of the gear box. Don't want ya trying to sell an AX-5 when its really a puegot.
kansashogan Posted March 6, 2019 Author Posted March 6, 2019 Eagle, the interior and under the hood are a real mess. I poked a hole in the driver floor pan but I don't think they are so far gone they couldn't be repaired. No title, the guy I bought it from said he bought it from a salvage yard. JeepSchmidt, I will have to investigate further on trans. I looked the VIN up online and it said it was a 5 speed, floor shift, part time 4x4, NP207. I will admit this is new to me so I have some learning to do. Parts of the engine are gone but the rest of the drive train is there.
Submariner Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 Hey Kansas, I did the same thing to an 86. except I paid out $300 and 75 in tow fees. I got my money back and got some parts I needed for my 88 MJ. I just sent a cab corner to Iowa. The poor ole 86, had a rusted out floor board and frame and a trash tranny. But there are lots of pieces and parts that are needed to keep other MJ's running and looking good. IN a way you will be keeping part of the ole truck alive thru another MJ. LOL hookie. Plus you should have a usable rear axle and bed.

Don't want ya trying to sell an AX-5 when its really a puegot. The Peugeot BA 10/5 transmission was introduced in the 1987 model year, behind the 4.0L engine. It was not offered in the 1986 model year. Tranny is almost certainly an AX-5. If not that, it would be a T5, but I don't think AMC/Jeep was still using the T5 as an alternate OEM tranny in 1986.
Quanah Parker Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 Would you sell the alternator bracket mount that bolts it to engine?

kansashogan Posted March 6, 2019 Author Posted March 6, 2019 That is totally different than what I have. This appears to me to be a GM alternator.
Quanah Parker Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Maybe one of the experts will know if those mounts are interchangeable. Yes that is a GM alt.
