Not for hired……glad to see you brought it back to life,,,,, when you make the flatbed for it make the sides drop off not pick up and remove drop down like a tailgate……..that’s way you would always have them with you….. and you can also take them out of your way that’s just my opinion keep up the great work and take care yourself stay healthy stay happy junk Mando
Dad had one we rebuilt the straight 6 the 727 and the rear axle. His was optional 4wd he had what they called feather tap thet if one wheel started to spin you tapped the brakes it switched to the other wheel. That was a beast id love to find another one!
Thank you so much for saving that J10! Back in the day I had a 1979 J10 with the 360 V8 and the turbo 400 transmission. I wished I would have never sold that truck!
Quadratrac and full time 4-wheel drive are good in the mountains in winter when you are constantly switching between dry road and icy road. You can have a pretty good vehicle there with mainly an investment of time to straighten things out. Take care.
Glad to see you saving old trucks from the scrap yard. I have to drive new trucks at work and I just hate them with a passion so I love seeing old ones being saved.
I for sure will be watching.... smart move to only get it for two bills... it would bring more at the scrap yard if it failed. I bought that same kind of rig new in seventy four.. the J30 with three forty five international engine, and a four speed. It was a quad track to start with but with all the parts I had, a 205 transfer case an hubs. I had it for years an kept it really nice... I got a offer of three grand in two thousand five ... I liked the rig too much... I also had a bad habit of leaving my keys in everything. A few days later my fifteen year old grandson stole it an went joy riding... it wound up in a creek bottom thirty some feet down.. he got hurt so I waited an he came to apologize but a new plan had came about.... him and his friends who were with him went to that creek where it was ... I supplied the comalongs and he at first didn't want to.... After I blacked his eyes to a dark shade of blue, an I told him it was cause I can't kick his little buddies butt.. so your going to take one for each with you that day... he was working at getting it out like his wrist was broken so guess what, every thing runs better with another tune up... and he worked past dark every night till it was out and home... I never fixed it as it kinda broke my heart. He asked me one day if I was still mad.... He woke up in about ten minutes with some smelling salt. I broke his front tooth out that time.... I might mention... that boy was a hell of a lot bigger than me by a good fifty pounds... and he boxed in school. He missed a week of school that week but i picked up his school work. I was raising him after his mom died an she knew I would do good by her. his father was a unknown an so his mom had put me as his legal parent when he was born.... he went to the cops and told them I was abusing him... he had been in jail several times... I got him all the way through school, an at twenty five with a family of his own... I got crippled very bad an to this day have never walked again... I gave him free and clear a full shop with every tool you can ask for... I just couldn't sell them as that hurt as bad as getting hurt... so he wound up with a full conex full of my heavy equipment tools, an every shop tool including lifts for a big rig as well.. a eighty by two hundred shop, storage buildings and a lot more including my kw wrecker. I was worth a fair coin at the time. I can say that he has not visited me for the last two years...I got hurt in two thousand five so he has kinda forgot what made him a good man
Man that was good deal you got for $200 dollars man. And all it was was a simple little fix. It sounds really good man. All you need to do is fix the brake issue and it would be a good running truck. Man it cleaned up very nicely too. I really enjoy watching this. Thank you for sharing this video.
I have a 75 J10 absolutely love that truck would not trade it for anything and those trucks have a very unique frame under them they step out and get wider in the back
I saw this video and said dam it . I new shouldn't have taken my flat bed with steel racks down south it is 6X8 . ( can't see junking it so south it went) If you can find it you can put the old grill style in it the one with the round headlights . I am moving out of CT to SC .You love what just pick up in SC a 1995 Chevy AWD Astro conversion paid $750 not running ( bad pickup coil) no rot sitting for 2 years.
Dont know much about the J10 Gladiator I had a 1981 J20 with a 405 V8 an old 3/4 ton conservation truck solid even for haveing had a tree fall across a portion of the bed n fenders pulled them straight with a hi lift jack and a leather hammer and drove it everywhere never engaged the four wheel drive had lockers but only thought I used the fwd but the pin was out of its station to work great truck dad had and older 69 70 wagoneer with the dohc inline six

wow never thought jeep made those types of pick ups pretty cool but I really like that green semi truck in the background

That's going to be a great project. I enjoyed the video and you made a real difference to that interior. Great work. 👍
Always good to see Rusty, unfortunately I had to let mine go and I miss her. On the good side the guy that bought her is fixing her up nice.

Man, that's a great score. Hope you enjoy the truck.

Good job cleaning that up and good eye for seeing its potential.
J-Slow. Nice rig. Those trucks are beasts.
You did a great job on that interior! Some new seat foam and the inside is ready to go. It's going to be a nice working truck.
