FINALLY got my J10 today!
My first FSJ!!!!
It seems like its been years that I've been negotiating and whatnot for this beast. After 2 lost jobs, a couple botched plans, and countless other issues, I was finally able to bring her home. Its a 1979 J10 with a 360 (which doesn't run) a th400 and a quad tcase. Its definitely a little rough around the edges, but there is definitely a lot of potential. The worst of it is definitely the bed floor and the doors, but its got a little in the other typical places such as the bed sides and fenders (which are about 90 percent bondo unfortunately). But I couldn't be happier about it than this. And I managed to get this for the princely sum of a 20 inch tv that i no longer needed and an ipod touch I had gotten for free. I've got a few extra parts and pieces too such as a 2 bumpers (one of which will be for sale on here shortly). As mentioned, she doesn't run due to a hole in the gas tank and probably other unforeseen issues. But enjoy the eye candy. She looks perty from 15 feet away!  Finally livin the dream! 
P.s. sorry if the pictures don't work, its my first time tryin.

Congrats to the new family member. Good luck with the build and keep the updates coming so the rest of us who aren't working on ours can feel bad.

haha I don't think so. It's literally got 4 mismatched wheels and tires. Got lots of work ahead of me, but couldn't be happier!
