'78 Jeep J10

(1/6) > >>

JSchwinn:
This Wednesday I'm going to pick up a '78 J10 to use as a winter beater.  She needs some love but over the next month I plan on getting her daily driver capable.

Big Chuck:
Man that's a pretty truck!!!

JSchwinn:
yea, AMC 360 with allegedly 86k original miles.  Been sitting for about 7 years only driven couple times a year and is starting to rot away so I feel obligated to save her.  Most of the rust in on the bed so I figure worst case I'll do a wood flatbed.  Engine runs strong and because it's going to be a winter vehicle body rust doesn't bother me.

Big Chuck:
Where is it? Is that picture recent?

JSchwinn:
Stratford CT, pictures are recent but there is a lot of surface rust underneath due to it being parked on grass for the last 7 years.  Fenders are starting to bubble but the cab is is pretty good shape.  Debating buying a welder and trying my hand in some metal work.  Not looking for this thing to be perfect just needs to get me through my 15 mile round trip to work
