Nope you got taken.. Ill give you $500 to get that junk out of your yard..








































nice deal.:)

[FSJ Guy]

NICE!

Those mirrors are not stock, BTW.

Heck yeah a good deal. Just an educated guess on drivetrain:258 six, t176 or t18 (creeper gear) trans, np 208 transfer case, d44 front, amc 20 rear. Easiest was to tell ratio is by tag on from axle. Tag goes between bolts. Again, very nice truck! Where's STL?

Yea I didnt think they had LED Blinkers built in the Mirrors.
I was told it might be a J10 or a J20 but all of them I have found have V8'S in them.

[Chris P.]

You did good!

You have a J10 and the motor is an AMC 258. The stepsides are becoming desireable. It looks like your fiberglass fenders are in good shape.

That is one beautiful truck! I swear I'm getting one someday hopefully soon! :thumbsup:

[Elliott]

Nice score, that model is called the "Sportside". Be careful with those rear fenders as they are spendy to replace.

[1981-Jeep-Pickup]

Where's STL?

St.Louis MO.

[1981-Jeep-Pickup]

What would be a good lift for it? I want to lift it and put alittle bigger tires on it. any sug?
Elliot kinda like the one in your Avitar

[Tarakian]

I'm green with envy... Good score.

Welcome to the board

[Chrome]

First, welcome aboard! Awesome truck and for only $1,500....excues me while I go puke.....

[Kali]

1500 for that truck is highway robbery. check out this site, a guy from STL did this by the way: http://12.29.16.230/mmimages/index.htm

[Headhoncho]

Nice truck. :thumbsup: That's a steal at $1500 and the rear fenders don't even look cracked. Hopefully the wood on the tailgate hasn't rotted it out too bad underneath. I had the same drivetrain in mine when I got it which was nice even with 36" tires. That's the same color I want to paint mine. :rolleyes:

You did extremely well.:thumbsup: Welcome to the madness.

[addicted]

Leave it up to the newbie to get a steal on a beautiful sportside!:mad:

:thumbsup:

[Ugly Truck Nut]

Very nice ride.

[tgreese]

I like it. Heck of a good deal for $1500.

Do we know that it's a manual transmission? If so, it'll be a T-176 (no T-18 in a J-10 after 1979). Could be an automatic too; if so, should be a TF727.

[Rednex4x4s]

Ok now that im done crying get your self a 6" lift from Hell creek bolt it in put some 35's on and go wheelin with us in april or may out in Manhatton Ks.I'm from Kansas City.Oh and keep that one in the garage she's a beauty.and to think Ele Jefe is not sure to give 200 for one.

Its an Auto.
And I want to lift it a little and put some newer bigger tires on it. but it needs a few things first.
