You probably could have caught a better bug, but I like them.

I'm a 68-70 B body and 70-71 E body Mopar guy but my second love is Jeep pickups. my first rig was my1972 J 4000 I'd give anything to get back today.

Do you have a reason to be partial to FSJ's or did it just happen?

After having 2 kids we have out grown the cj for trail and camping trips and after watching an episode of breaking bad thought a grand wagoneer would cool. Same thing with the truck
Tremors was replayed on tv so I now own one
( I've now been band from watching shows with jeeps in them and craigslist lol.)

Wow. Lots of room to work. Cool project.

HEY, Is that the illusive Jeep Compass I see on the dash of the J-truck? Oh, and the original metal radio-delete plate! Very cool, and I love the patina. I would try to keep the exterior as-is, with maybe a clean-up and a fresh clear coat, but that's just me.

[scalescj5]

I'm still on the fence on what to with it, and it will be this fall before I get to start on it
Compass pretty cool delete plate also cool and a bitchin pair shade found in the brow . was thinking the 4-inch Hell Creek Springs wider Factory looking white steel rims with 33 12.50 plan on going through the entire drive train. Paint or no paint?

Looks clean- fuel pumps are a simple fix, too.

Welcome, Congrats and Condolences!

The compass was standard for the 4WD gladiators at the very beginning, i guess that this rig has a low serial number

[scalescj5]

I've owned a few Jeeps over the years never at Gladiator truck I am learning new things about them every day 11510 is the number on it if that is considered
Rebuilt the carb yesterday obviously has not been started in a long time squirted some oil in the cylinders hooked a electric fuel pump up to it and it started right up

It means that it's the 1510 th SWB gladiator of its GVW class , starting from august 1962

[66stepside]

That compass is waaaaaaay cool! My son's 62 has one. That's icing on the cake for you- as is a rebuilt carb.

Having it running already is amazing. Nicely done.
