Brought home new parts truck '83 J10

[Headhoncho]

With the help of Mike H. (Pineymike) I towed home the latest parts vehicle from just southwest of Phila. It was sitting under an apple tree for 7 years and had 2" of worm filled mulch in the bed. The bed is surprisingly rust free mainly in part to it wearing a factory? topper for most of it's life. The rest of the truck is in decent condition with the exception of the interior. 258(MIA)727/208. Also scored a spare set of factory slots to go with the ones already on it. Thanks again to Mike (pictured) for all his help.

Your welcome JR,It was my pleasure!:thumbsup: The best"huntin'trip" I've been on lately! Diggin' around in that guys back yard was so much fun it should be against the law!{of common sense} He had a little bit of everything,from model "A's" to speed boats all in different states of over groth,Every time we turned around we were diggin' thru the under brush for another jeep part! and grinn' like kids chasin' candy after the pinata breakes!:fsj: Only place I've been in a long time that has more "junk/treasure" than I do!:eek:

Even with the parts rig loaded up on a trailer, your Honcho still dwarfs it.:) Gotta love it.

Worms in the bed? Well, at least you can go fishing.:) ;)

Good score JR.

Nice find. Looks like my old 83 J10. Same color and trim. You had pics of this up a while back, right?

What'cha doing with the cap?

Nice score! :thumbsup: JR

If you find yourself not wanting that front bumper, let me know.

All good. So are you gonna dump the plow frame and wiring? I might be interested in mounting parts...especially the bumper mounting hardware for the plow setup...

Yes, I posted pics up from about 2 months ago when I originally bought it. I couldn't pick it up until it stopped raining enough to dry out the guys back yard. I'm keeping the cap for now but you'll be first in line if/when I decide to sell it.

The plow frame goes back to the guy I bought it from. I'll let you know about the bumper mounting hardware.

That looks like a workable build. Great score. Wish we had some around here like that.

The last J10 I bought in Pa looked like swiss cheese it was rusted out so bad. I don't know how this one escaped the rust bug but I couldn't pass it up at $500. :rolleyes: I'll have a better idea what I'm going to do with it after a thorough power washing.
