New member here. My sister bought my fifteen year old son a 79 J10 long wheelbase truck that has been sitting for 20 years. I had a 79 J10 short wheelbase Honcho that I had to sell a few years back and he loved that truck. I had redone it in the late 90s and was in pretty good shape. Makes me miss it. I hope I can find info and parts sources here, especially now I am considering finding one for myself.
I am glad they keep it clean here so I will feel comfortable dragging him here to check things out.

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome. Sorry for the slow response. This forum isn't dead. We just all have lives outside the web.

BJs off road is a great resource. I can vouch for them.

TeamGrandWagoneer is another source. I have no experience with them.

Some home brew vendors here as well.

Welcome back to FSJ fun! Does it have the QuadraTrac?

There is a resource of info on that here: http://jubileejeeps.org/quadratrac/index.htm

Thanks! I understand - Lots of irons in the fire too. I have been checking out BJs, especially for the rubber parts and bed repair panels. Yes it's quadratrac, but my son would have rather had a standard though.

Howdy from sunny Phoenix Arizona! You have come to the right place. There are a lot of helpful and friendly people on this board.

Howdy from CO from another 12B! I was with Armor so no tab, but still Essayons!
I have a 77 short bed 360/TH400/QT and a 79 long bed 304/T-18/D20 which is my favorite one of the two. They don't make a truck like it any more, and haven't for a while.

Unrelated, but I just saw this smilie in the drop down menu for the first time and want to use it.

Welcome to the addiction there is no cure except going cold turkey. Be prepared to have an empty wallet , lose of your grip on reality, and a gradual pulling away from family and friends as you spend more and more time with your new iron mistress!

Yep, 12B2PC2. No tab back in my day. I went to the sandbox with 1st AD, but stateside time was at FT. Benning and FT. Campbell.

LOL! I actually had some involvement in the maple syrup industry as a teenager growing up in Vermont. Back when they still collected it up with buckets.

Well my sister was in the Marines and I was in the Army, so I guess she is paying me back for all the Marine jokes!

How do I edit my profile to show location? My physical location that is.

Nevermind, I figured it out.
