A Little History.....
The truck rolled in where I was working at the
time, it was white and brown, ugly, and I was in
love. I always wanted to own a Jeep, but not a
CJ. I also wanted a truck. The owner wanted to
store it, said it stalled and lacked power. I
asked him if he wanted to sell it, he said sure,
how does 500.00 sound? I asked him if he would
take 2 payments, he said no problem , I know
where you work! A month later it was mine! It had
a tan interior, green shag carpet for the floor,
a am/fm Kmart cassette, an engine and trans in
the back with other black goo mixed with leaves
from who knows when in the bed. Basically the
truck was a rolling junkyard.
The truck is a 78 J20 3/4 ton. It has a AMC 360 engine bored .60 over, Crane powermax cam, Holley 600 4 bbl carb, Edelbrock Torker 1 intake,Dana 60 Fullfloater rear end(8 lug), Dana 44 HD front end both with 4.10 gears(stock). Borg-Warner Quadra-Trac Transfer Case with Part-Time Kit with Low Range,GM TH400 3 Speed Automatic Tranny and Heavy Duty Leaf Springs.
It seems like a long time now since I got it!
