Just brought home a 68 Gladiator, Central IL

[68JGladiator]

The bed work looks good. What size tires are you going to run?

I don't know yet, my original plan was a BJ's offroad 4.5 lift kit with 33" tires. But after finding damaged flares and removing them, I might be doing4.5 lift kit with 35" tires.

after it's hot...

In case you've found a trouble like mine... I am in the midst of similar issue with my ;'j2000, it turns out that somehow, my 360 has a fuel pump on it, that does not have a return/vent line. So basically when the rpms go up, the fuel pump heats up from back pressure, and the two-barrel carb starts to malfunction and the engine starts to fail... I don't really understand it very well, but it's causing a vaporlock of sorts... I'm going to either find a pump with a return line, or switch to an electric fuel pump... probably the latter.

Little update on the 68, I got the hubs installed and carb running good other than it doesn't like to restart after its hot giving me a headache. Not very good at tuning carbs. Anyway drives good, just around town, shifts nicely figured out 1st gear isn't used for much lol

Now that it is warming up it will be coming home and will be working on it more, I have decided to go towards it being a more offroad oriented Gladiator.
