1975 J truck questions

[joelb23]

Found a local add for a guy who is parting out a 75 J-truck, but he doesn't really know much about it. Before I go check it out, I have a few questions.

What trannys were available?

I assume D44 front and back unless it is a 3/4 or 1 ton?

Anyone need anything specific and I can look for it? Thanks.

The most common setup would be a GM TH400 (automatic) and Quadratrac. Other transmissions would be the T15 3-speed manual (least common) or the T18 4-speed manual. If it's a manual trans model, someone will want the whole setup - bellhousing, trans, txfr case, clutch linkage, pedals.

There's a short and long WB 1/2 ton (J10), and a long WB 3/4 ton (J20). The J20 will have a D60 rear, and has three (?) different GVW packages.

Here's a quick rundown of the VINs

J = Jeep
5 = '75
A,F,M = automatic, 3 & 4 speed
25,45,46 = SWB 1/2T, LWB 1/2T, LWB 3/4T
M,P,S,Y = 6025 GVW (J10), 6800, 7600, 8400 (all J20)
A,N,P,Z = 258 I6, 360 2V, 360 4V, 401
(6 digit SN)

Ok, for example, a J5F45MNxxxxxx would be a '75 J10 LWB, T15, 360 2V, 6800 GVW.

I need fenders, but you're too far away. In the NE, it's body parts, sp. rust-free front fenders and the flares in the bed. If the whole bed is good, someone will want it, otherwise rear flares, rear quarter panels, tailgate, rear taillights.

I'm always looking for rust free body parts, right now I need fenders.
