Pete M Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 too bad it's at a junkyard. Dom found this v8 swapped truck at a michigan junkyard and it bears a striking resemblance to a truck I bought like 20 years ago that had a hideously done white paint job. I didn't need a 3rd rig at the time, but the price was good so I pulled the 4.0 (to swap into my 88) and gave the rest of the truck to someone in need of a body for a project. waiting on some further research to see if it might really be the same truck. some things are the same, some things are different, but dang do those stupid white door handles stand out like a sore thumb. the truck at the yard: my old truck (don't have many pics of it unfortunately) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Something I noticed is the lack of fog lamps and the window trim between the window itself and the vent/stationary window is black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I also saw the black trim. Even the grille is upside down though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 yup, definitely some differences, but it was a dude's project after all. but how many white on white on white on white MJs can there really be in Michigan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Are you going to try to get a part off of it if you’ll be in Michigan any time soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 How bad is it? From the photos, it looks basically intact. Intact enough that a little TLC should be able to put it back on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
