Those Gladiators are so cool. Man, that thing is is awesome shape for the life it lived.
The engine is pristine inside
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ha ha. Bill I love it. Can't wait to see you get her going
What the heck, think I'll grab it
Yes i am also restoring a 66 jeep gladiator. Would be nice to have a helping hand in the info department. Mine also has the 327 v8. There is a guy on the facebook page that rebuilds boxes for these jeeps. Just wanted to let you know. Keep in touch!
Will do. Subscribe to the channel and you can find me on Facebook too Flatbroke Garage
I also have a 66 keep gladiator but it’s just a shell I’m not quite sure wear to start it’s kinda just been sitting there for a few years
She may not be a trailer queen but she’s close. Bring it back to life!!!

What an awesome old truck, yes save it for sure. So many possibilities with it. Yes please get it running 👍👍

Get it running like to see it back on the road
Me too, just a little worried about engine parts. Not much available for the Kaiser 327. Looks like GM ignition
That would be wery intresting to see that one back on the road. Btw..hello from Finland.
Hello from Turtletown Tennessee! I think I'm going buy it. I'm going to try to get back to it after Christmas. Stay tuned and subscribe to follow along. Thanks for watching
Oh boy, there's some life left in the ol' girl.. just saying. I think you could pull it out and make it happen! I definitely understand the subscriber vs non-subscriber viewer ratio. Good to see you my man! Blessings and respect!
We may try to see if it's going to start
Full size Jeeps are really cool! I would love to see what you could do with that!
I'm still looking into parts availability and if it will even start. But she may be a keeper
Might be kinda cool to Fix up 👍 I bet you would sell a ton of trucker hats with your logo on it
I might give it a shot. Hats would be a good idea
Nice old Jeep, appears solid. I have a 1966 Jeep J - 2000 with the AMC 232 straight six engine and 3-speed transmission. Your J - 3000 is the heavier model and looks like it might have been an 8'-0" pickup body, mine is a 7'-0" body. I did a major overhaul of the truck in 1993 and replaced the frame from the cab back and found a replacement pickup body from a 1977 Jeep that fit perfectly. I could not find a tailgate so I made my own. The nice thing about those J - series Jeeps was that the body style had very minimal changes from 1963 until they stopped production of the trucks in 1988. You should be able to find a replacement pickup body in a junkyard - perhaps in California where they do not rot out. I recently had both front springs replaced and front shocks as well and the spring purchases and brackets came from a California Jeep junkyard and were in excellent condition. My truck used to be my Dad's and is still my winter snowplow truck. Good luck with you project, hope you get it running.
Thanks so much! I've kinda put it on the back burner for now. It has a bunch of issues. It wil be back.
Cool Jeeps both of them, love the older one😊
Hope it starts
@@flatbrokegarage yes hope so, be cool to see that Cheers 🍺🍻🇦🇺🤝🇺🇸😎👍
I think it would be a great rescue with a flatbed on the back. You never see these.
I agree, but the parts thing may be a problem for that 327
Nice truck.
That’s a good find, love the Jeep trucks. Just found your channel. I would love to bring that thing back to life.
I still have it sitting in the yard. Probably will start on that next
You can’t go wrong with a Jeep. I have too many projects going on myself to drag home another one 🤣. I have to rebuild the 351c in the Torino
Yeah, I see that. I really do t need another one. So I going to have to part with one. Probably my O'l yeller shop truck.
Yeah get that old Jeep running. It should be pretty easy!
Just got somevparts in, going to head back over tho it this weekend, weather permitting
Blue go fast parts! I'm a car guy but how can you go wrong with a classic jeep?
Yeah.... I have car I got to finish, but just have to grab the jeep. I have a Cherokee as my daily driver and have owned 9 Jeeps but never a full side pickup. So... why not. I'm selling my shop truck to make room for this so hope it's a keeper 😆
And what's with that blue paint?? Was that a actual plan?? Crazy
Wait until you see the go fast black in the cutlass. Wife and I had a 2000 Cherokee brand new which I loved and have a patriot (not really a jeep) in the garage now. That is gonna be a serious project!
@@TheBrad71 I'm going to get with ya after the holidays
Last again gotta get my act together 🤫😂👊🇦🇺🤝🇺🇸😎👍
I am still interested in a shirt if it works out
Working on them. Probably after the holidays
Buy it you know you want it.
😆 my problem is I want them all
@@flatbrokegarage we all do.
Of course you should buy it!
After all, it's not my $$$. Lol
Good point...
Get it, do a will drive home
I'd like to. It would have to make it over a gravel mountain road. Brakes would be a must
Just Empty Every Pocket........
That's the plan 👌
It's awfully hard to find any body parts used I don't rest of the way for those Jeeps. I've seen a couple of beds out there that were decent. Remember right one is in the southwest and Evelyn within Texas maybe it was at Joe Auto Salvage. Number years ago friend of mine had one of those and have flatbed on it in the truck is painted a crisp White. No pearl nothing fancy acrylic enamel single stage one coat. It looks really nice. I have a couple of wagoneers I think the 1964 same body style. I've had forever. Pretty costly definitely one of those you put ten times as much in it as he could ever get out of it. So I would pass. If you really like that body then put it on a newer frame Dodge Chevy Ford whatever you like
I've been fighting with trying to get it started. It has the 327 and the starter has been discontinued. The one on it has been cracked and repaired. I sent it out to be rebuilt so we will see
@@flatbrokegarage saying it's a 327 but who made it? When anybody says 327 first thing that comes to mind is Chevrolet. Because that's all-time favorite small block. But looking at that engine with the valve cover bolts going down to the center of it. What looks to me like a Ford motorcraft carburetor on it. So I was wondering about it because frankly I don't know of anybody else who made a 327. But everyday I strive to learn something new so maybe this will be what I learned today. If that truck runs and it moves under its own power. There's most of the battle. Is actually to Jeep wagoneers and they both have six cylinders in them. I know very little about Jeep. I do know on the six-cylinder back then that they like to JumpTime on the distributor 180 out. I can explain why but the fixes simple you take the distributor you turn it 180 back and it runs again. Just something look at when you get a little farther along just in case the V8 does the same thing. The man that I knew that knew everything that was about those Jeeps well he would be about 120 if he was still alive. That was a long time ago I knew him. But there is a collectors market for those trucks. That's why I understand. Although I would stay away from it or at least try to that truck is very interesting as well because you know that's what they use in the old movies on the Safari movies when I was a kid they were older movies then. And they just always kept my interest I like the body style. Thanks for letting me know about the starter. It will be interesting to see how you come out on it. I will let you know if it comes to mind where I saw the other Jeeps. But the one with a nice box on it I remember it being the same basic style but it was newer.
If it runs ya
Yep, it's mine now. It's time to get it running and see if it drives. Stay tuned
Make a good shop truck
It better, I'm going to sell my existing shop truck
Juan needs to put you on house arrest!!!
I am selling one 😆
Looks like a kaiser jeep
Yep, turns out it's a 1968
Keen on t.shirsts from nz.
I can check on the price to ship them there
