J-trucks Duallies are rare, let alone a J2000, almost all the duallies had the long wheelbase

Do you mind sharing the VIN or a pic of the VIN plate ?

X2 , i wonder how PennDot made this deduction ?fulsizjeep wrote:I hope you get it worked out. That Gladiator deserves to live on. It can't be a 69 though. 68 was a crossover year that started with the AMC 327 V8 option and ended with the Buick 350 V8 option. All 69 with V8 were 350.
It is not easy to determine the year from the VIN on 63-72 models.
I agree, actually according to some 65-67 records and a technical bulletin, the build date is february 67fulsizjeep wrote:
My best guess is that this dually is a 65-67 model.
Good remark, i have an old Dodge which was used as a firetruck, the model year is 4 years off the VINCheap Hobby wrote:If the truck started life under federal ownership it was not licensed or registered in any state. When it was sold out of federal ownership it was registered with model year that it was sold. It was not uncommon to find 50s and 60s vehicles and equipment with model year that was 10 to 20 off the vin.
