j20 double cab now with pics! thanx to elliott!
Hi my name is Andreas and i live in sweden.. I just bought a 1976 j20 double cab from the fire department.. It has the 258", a four speed manual tranny, dana 60 rear and 44 front.. It has only 15000 miles and is almost rust free! I wonder if anyone knows how many double cabs that are made? I also wonder if it is unusual in the states?

Let me be the first to say
I had to do it. I'd love to hear some info on this double cab J-20 and how it ended up with a 258.
Edit: sorry, Phil, guess I'm the second to say it!

WOW! I hate you...Just kidding.
You have the US equivalent of a hens tooth. Next is...
The running gear is all familiar, you will find all the info you will ever need on the drivetrain/power plant, on this site. Body parts should be the same from the front door latch, forward.
Many here would kill for one of those...with rust!
Oh and 'Hey' from sunny SC.

From what Ive read there are no known factory double cabs in the USA.
If that is indeed factory then thats a pretty rare truck to own, and with that kind of mileage possibly the most valuable J-truck in the world.

AFAIK, the only other place i've seen double cab SJ's are the videos from South American countries.

Wow! I would love to find one of those! I have seen the threads where folks built them out of 2 rigs or a wagoneer and a J-truck, but not a factory one.
I have seen a couple of old IH crew cabs. They look like they sag in the middle.. I like the SJ version much better.
What is shipping cost from Sweden?

double cab Jeep Pickups were made in Aregntina by IKA, S. Korea by Keohwa, and in Australia by a company called queensland customs. In europe fire departments frequently modify their vehicles like this, so this is probably custom built by a local company.
IN aregntina, a pretty good number of the vehicles were made. I dont know how many were made in Korea, but only the military used them. As far as i know only 4-5 of the australian vehicles were made. So you have a truly rare vehicle on your hands.

If I could find one of those, I'd off my SuperCrew in a heartbeat. That is a nice rig.

Why do other counties get better versions of our own trucks?

Welcome to the board. Sounds like you have a really nice Jeep there - in my idle moments I've wondered about making a double cab. Anyway, just to re-iterate what the others have said: Pics! Pics! Pics! (we like pictures on this forum).
