    '66 J 3000

    Hi Guys,
    First post here.

    I just acquired a 1966 J 3000 Gladiator. The interesting part is this is a Survivor, original condition J 3000 5000lb GVW with very low miles.
    327 Vigilante mtr, 3 on the tree, 4x4 with a Alaskan Camper of the same year and is in great condition.

    I plan on just cleaning her up a bit and fix what needs fixin. This should be fun!!




    As found in the garage for 10+ years!





    Camper interior is perfect. Everything looks new. Beautiful wood (Ash I think)





    Air cleaner off in this pic. (I have it)

        Thanks for the welcome guys!

        I hope someone can point the way to a few things:
        Any info on replacing the fuel filler tube. Mine is broken from the filler inlet to the pipe leading to the tank.
        Carb rebuild kit? Where? No luck locally yet Holly 2bl.
        Thanks!!

            Wow..that's a CLEAN one...AWESOME camper!!!!!! Take tons of pics of it!

            We have plenty of 327 people here, but judging from how clean that engine is on it, yours should be fine.

            Click my build link on my sig if you want to see a J300 torn down and put back together slightly differently.
