My Brother’s J10


Recommended Posts

My brother and I went to an auction today and he bought this for $275. It is super rusty, even the frame. He is 13 years old and plans in buying a nicer truck with less rust and this will be his parts rig. 

He brought it home, threw a booster pack on it, poured some starting fluid in the carb and it started! 

 

Details:

79 J10, 360, 4 speed, LWB

If you look closely, you can see my Comanche in the background.

honestly doesn't look all that bad.   :L: 

Oh it’s bad. The frame is rusty, it has no floors, rockers, cab corners, the bedsides are junk, the bed floor is junk, and the front fenders are super rusty.

Let me know if you want me to try to find anything NOS. Too bad it’s not an I6 because I have a dealer AC add on kit for those 79-83 Jeeps. 

Awesome! Thank you for the offer!

He bought home the truck he fill be fixing now. We believe it’s an 83. It’s a short bed, 360, Auto, with a factory sliding rear window and roll bar and 64,000 original miles. 

We rescued it from the local junkyard. 

It also appears to have a small lift. Maybe 3 inches.

Aw hell yess a muscle grill J-truck! If ever in the OEM bumper market(But that front bumper looks to be in great shape), apparently old square body chevy trucks flipped upside down fits really well with those SJ's(at least the front does). That off-road/weekend warrior Wagoneer on Jay Lenos garage taught me that one. 

 

But nice fricken score!! Need more pics and a good cleaning.

You may be sad to hear that the grill is probably getting replaced with the old pig nose style. It is a nice truck!

score!  :banana: 

 

should have bought the hearse too!  :D 

It’s quite the score. We’re saving the hearse for you if you find your way over by me. The yard actually has quite a few 84-96 XJs
