Spotted in Boise, Idaho - Gator McKlusky 1973? J2000?

Post by CosmicRhino »

I saw one of the most gorgeous J trucks ever in Boise yesterday. Usually I see the same 10 or so FSJs around town, but this one was new to me. Sadly I was driving so I couldn't snap a picture, hoping I'd be able to find a build thread or photos online, but a few cursory searches have revealed nothing. Anybody know anything about this truck? It might not be from Boise, it was traveling in the direction of the X games hosted by ESPN, and I didn't get a chance to see the plates.

It was a 70s J truck with original 3 piece bumpers and razor grill. Both the bumpers and grill were painted white, to match the white and red two tone scheme of the truck. On the passenger side door (and probably driver side too) it said "Gator McClusky" in red text on white paint, just below the door window. Closer to the tailgate along the quarter panel it had a Marlboro logo. 3 massive overhead offroad lights above the cab.

Kind of looked a bit like this:
