it looks similar to a QT, but not quite right... :huh:

it's from under the chief of 80 i just bought. that would be awesome!!!

Quadratrac. That Cherokee is actually a 79 then. The 80 and newer FSJs have left hand differential on the front with New Process transfer case.

Since it's a overseas edition, it could still be an 80. If it's one that someone brought from the states, then it would be a 79.

A buddy of mine has an 80 J10, pass side drop front, T18, D20, 258 with Lockouts, couldnt believe it, vin is correct, like new truck, well that is before he scrapped it.

Yeah, yeah - there may be a hand full of 79 models out there that got tagged as 80s, true... :rolleyes: :grumble: But in my world, this is a 79. ;)

Dan, you may as well get a NOS Quadratrac from that guy in Ohio if you want one that you can keep running on your side of the big pond.

wooooooooohooo, brand new - sold man! thanks for the tip! quadratrac is rare, isn't it?

quadratrac is rare, isn't it?

Not rare, there were a lot of them sold. Rebuilding a broken one could be difficult if you don't have several decent used units to scrounge parts from. The new unit would be a good deal, esp. for someone with one of these vehicles outside the USA.

I would say a good working Quadratrac is rare. Maybe I am wrong about that but it is true that it can take several cases to have enough good internal parts to build a good one. There were tons of them sold in Jeeps between 73 and 79 though.

I see more quad units in 70s trucks than any other combo for sale, Id say the manuals change hands alot less often
