Vehicle Description
When looking for a distinctive vintage truck, it's hard to beat
this 1988 Jeep J10. Aside from rarity, you get a tough 4x4 pickup
that's ready for work duty. And when you see all the features -
from the rebuilt transmission to the A/C interior - you realize
this checks all your boxes, including an affordable price.
This is the end of a prestigious line. After all, the
Gladiator/J-Series had spent over a quarter-century being the Jeep
of trucks. But because Chrysler had now taken the reigns at Jeep,
the full-sized pickup was dwindled down to not compete with the
Ram. So there were only about 1,000 produced during 1988 - it's
final year. And you'll love this truck for more than just rarity.
There was a more recent investment in Root Beer paint, and this
metallic brown has a nice shine when it's outdoors. And in fact,
this classic is still meant to lead a useful truck life. The tall
4x4 stance, large trailering mirrors, rear step bumper w/tow
available, and liner paint in the bed all mean this one is ready
for everything from a hardware store run to a camping trip amongst
the stars.
These trucks shared their interiors with the Grand Wagoneers, and
so it's a quite comfortable place to spend some time. That means a
stylish dash with wood paneling, and it's so wide that the glovebox
is in the middle. You get comfortable features like a plush bench,
tilt steering column, cruise control, and an upgraded AM/FM/CD
stereo with Bluetooth connection. The classic style means you can
open the side vent windows and slide the rear glass to get the
old-school truck breezes we all love. And thanks to ice-cold
factory air conditioning, you can do this all year long.
The Jeep/AMC 360 cubic-inch V8 has been a long-standing powerhouse
utilized by some legendary vehicles. The consignor states this is
the original motor to the vehicles, and that it was rebuilt around
20,000 miles ago. It looks like this is true just by the quality of
the presentation, and the way this fuel-injected motor fires up.
Plus, this V8 is mated to a Torqueflite A727 three-speed automatic
transmission that was rebuilt in April 2018. That's the kind of
stout setup you want for off-road work. It only gets better with
the proper two-speed 4x4 transfer case, four-inch lifted
suspension, tough Dana 30 axles at both ends, and Mickey Thompson
Baja MTZ tires. But even if you just stay on the pavement, the
power steering and front disc brakes make this truck a fine anytime
choice.
Rare, powerful, and filled with the right features, this is the
classic Jeep offered for quite a nice price. So if you love a
distinctive pickup, don't let this one slip away. Call today!!!
