Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable Borrowing the CJ-6?s chassis
helped created the Jeepster Commando in the late 1960s. This
seldom-seen survivor truck remains in overall excellent shape.
Recently refinished in Torch Red with an Ivory White hardtop, the
truck?s paint and trim are in overall excellent condition, the
bodywork is straight and the engine bay is extremely tidy and the
rear cargo area looks great, complete with full-size spare tire and
matching interior cover. There are a pair of foglights (inop) above
the chrome front bumper. You will be hard pressed to find a nicer
restored Commando than this! This Jeep rolls on American Classic
wide whitewall tires, size 225/75R15 at all four corners. Each one
is mounted to a steel wheel with locking hubs in front and full
factory wheel covers. The wheel covers and tires are all in fine
shape. This Jeepster has a 101-inch wheelbase and a 4,200 GVWR.
Under the hood is the Jeepster?s optional engine that year, the 225
CID ?Dauntless? V-6 with a Rochester two-barrel carburetor (VIN
code 7). If it looks familiar, it?s more or less the same Fireball
V-6 engine Buick developed for its compact and mid-size cars in the
early and mid-1960s before later selling the tooling to
Kaiser-Jeep. A big difference is the much heavier flywheel Jeep
used to dampen the engine?s vibrations from its firing pattern.
Backing the engine is a Borg-Warner T-86 three-speed manual
transmission and a 3.73:1 rear end. There?s a Dana Model 20
two-speed transfer case with a Dana 27 front axle and a Dana 44
rear axle. Inside, the truck sports a red and tan interior that is
in great shape. The low-back front buckets and fold down rear seat
are all upholstered in tan vinyl with tweed inserts. The matching
carpet looks great and has Jeep floormats protecting the front
footwells. The black two-spoke steering wheel offers contrast and
is ready for a new adventure. The red metal dash wears a tan dash
pad and comes with a full array of ancillary gauges. The red inner
door liners have tan armrests. A floor-mounted shift and transfer
case lever plus an aftermarket AM/FM stereo with a cassette deck
round out the interior. Competition to this Jeep in 1970 included
Chevrolet?s new-for-1970 K5 Blazer, Ford?s Bronco, GMC?s new K5
Jimmy, International?s Scout 800A and B and Toyota?s Land Cruiser.
