MAXmotive is happy to present this awesome 1979 American Motors J10
truck. . The line of pickup trucks from Jeep carried a flavor of
rugged individualism, and this example from 1979 with a 401 CI V-8
under the hood is certainly special. In fact, the J10 here is
NASCAR legend Ray Evernham's personal vehicle, built with upgrades
for both enjoyment and drivability. The J10 model for 1979 was in
the midst of what became a 26-year-long run for the Jeep's
full-size pickup. The solid 119-inch, SJ-type chassis stance was
enhanced by the wide-wheel body option and its reconfigured grille
with square headlights. Of course, the 4-wheel drive mated to a
manual transmission makes this a driver's truck, and there are
other upgrades as well. The 401 CI V-8 engine was the torque
monster from AMC, and here it has been given a Holley 600 CFM
Street Warrior carburetor and other classic hop-up pieces like an
MSD coil and Edelbrock ribbed cast valve covers. It is believed to
have only 5,484 miles since restoration. The 4-speed manual
transmission is mated to a transfer case that feeds power to the
differentials, which now have ribbed gear covers and feature front
locking hubs. There are power disc brakes, power steering with the
N3 steering stabilizer and an added 3-inch lift kit as well. The
interior is nicely set up as well, featuring bucket seats, an
engine-turned dash facing, an auxiliary under dash gauge cluster,
AM/FM audio equipment, a locking center console and a three-spoke
steering wheel. Out back, there is spray-in bedliner and a Jeep
tailgate with paint-detailed name stamping. This example includes
receipts and should give the next owner an enjoyable classic truck
from the 1970s that has a great story behind it See more pictures
