Re: [AMC-List] A Jeep truck for me! (maybe...)

Jim, the J-10 is a 1982. 258/2V, four speed, I think the guy said it's a 207 or 208 transfer case. Bone stock, hasn't been lifted/mudded/trailed much, mostly an old work truck the PO decided to retire. It's a bit rough overall, but not to bad for a 24 year old truck with little work done to it and pretty well used. Inside of bed is nice, but some rust through on the sides in places. Cab is pretty solid and straight though. Dash pad is twisted, but I looked at an FSJ Cherokee he had for parts (has about 20 Jeeps of various models/years) without the pad. Fill in the pad mount holes and it's a decent looking all steel dash. For $1200 it looks... well... like a $1200 4x4 truck. Needs a donut gasket in the exhaust and the radiator replaced. I never saw one patched with bondo before! The parts Chero is donating a radiator (it's 258 also). I'm planning on offering $950 for it. He told me for asking price he'd change the radiator, less I'd have to do it. Might need brakes and such b!
 efore a
 long trip, but ran pretty good considering the exhaust leak. Turns out I knew more about AMC/Jeep sixes than he did -- we talked a good bit and looked at several he had around. 

The Comanche (I bet it IS a BA-10/5 under there!) would probably be the best truck, but it's hard to pass on a J-10 in halfway decent shape! If I just use it for a work truck over 3-5 years and never fix it up it's worth the price though.
