Selling a 1969 Jeep Gladiator J2000
Good Stuff:
Buick Dauntless 350 V8
GM TH400 transmission
Purchased this truck a few months back as a project and gift for someone, but as life happens, they aren't in need of this project right now.
This truck came with meticulous documentation from the previous owner, who took great care of it.
Removed the heads in 2009 and had them professionally magnafluxed with hardened valve seats installed. New bearings. New Cams. New Edlebrock carb. Electric Fuel pump. Hooker headers and dual exhaust with a wonderful throaty note.
Front disc brake conversion from stainless steel brake line company.
New Wheel Bearings.
Vintage Air - Air Conditioning.
Leather truck air ride seats and external compressor.
Bedliner.
New rear leaf springs.
34" Tires on 18" black wheels.
Has about 6000 miles since all of the work was done to it.
Bad Stuff:
The paint job looks good from about 30ft but up close, it was clearly an amatuer job, bondo work is less than good on the bed. However, this truck seems to be 90% rust free which is a good thing. Cab corners are in good shape along with the floor.
The motor needs a little tuning to run correctly but it does start without hesitation.
Exhaust leak coming from somewhere.
The only things that work in the Gauge cluster are the speedo and tach. The rest of it was put on external gauges and switches by the previous owner. Which all work well, but its a little messy.
Could use some new front leaf springs as the ones on it currently are tired and worn out.
Other than that, this truck is in decent shape and would be a great project or driver someone.
Thanks For Looking!
