I wanna get this comment in before the onslaught starts.
The best part your truck is the browless cab! WhooooHooooo!! :D

Nice rig!

Is that a factory color?
Is that a palm stencil on the door?
Like a desert rat kinda thing?

Thanks, supposedly factory color, I don't think so though. Was painted like that when I got it. Palm tree painted on, wish I could remove it with out ruining the paint.
Not sure on the wheels, I traded for them. American Racing I think

Palm tree on the door is the insignia of the German Afrika Corps in WWII:

Hopefully yours doesn't have the swastika; it appears to be a diamond on your truck. I have seen that same insignia painted on a captured 1937 Chevy truck that was used by the Germans in N. Africa and is now in a miltary vehicle museum in Auburn, IN.

Must resist temptation to buy J truck...."you dont need to see our papers..." " the force is strong in this one". Seriously though nice rig.

Pic is coming through fine on my computer. Right click on the X and see if it brings up "show picture" on the menu. sometimes I have to do that if a pic doesn't show up.

That's as nice a one as I've seen, or even heard of! You have a keeper there! Of course, should you want to sell it for 500 bucks...

S.J.

PS: I thought the thing on the door was a palmetto tree, and the truck just wanted to be south of the border in ol' SC.

Thanks.
I believe you are correct, the previous owner would take it to surf fish in SC infrequently.

Nice, I like the color, are the flares and rockers the same color as the rest of the truck, they look slightly darker but I think that's just the light, they would look really cool in a slightly darker tone, the wheels match perfectly too. The Afrika Korps graphic is kinda cool, odd though, might attract some negativity, makes me wonder about the po...
Those pics also just convinced me to paint the insert of my muscle grille black.

Nice J20. I think that is the only kind of truck I'd trade my J10 for. But I'd want a pre '83 with a T18. Very nice.
