I have been looking for a step-side for my 1979 J10 for awhile, this summer my Dad found a whole 1963 J200 sitting in a field. It took a little bit but we found that the owner had passed away awhile back and his grandson was the executor of the estate. I talked to him and offered $800 for it, but he had to talk to the other members of the estate. In November he got in touch with us and let us know that we are the proud owners of it now. Yesterday around 3pm we got a friends trailer to tow it back to our shop. He told us it took a 2" ball and I towed the trailer up to where the Jeep was. The jeep had 4 flat tires and clutch is shot I wasn't able to get it out of gear or even get the transfer case in to neutral. Using a come-along I finally got it most of the way on to the trailer till it too so much pressure that I bent the handle. I made a trip back to the shop and got my handyman jack and my dad to help get it the rest of the way on, by that time it was 6:30pm. we head back up there and finally got it the rest of the way on the trailer. As I started to pull away the trailer pops off the hitch and slams in to the back of my truck. We had to run back to the shop and get a 2 5/16" ball. After 5 hours of work we finally got the truck back to the shop at 8pm. Once we got it in to the shop, surprisingly the inner-tubes filled up . So here starts the slow rebuild process.
