    Dad had one we rebuilt the straight 6 the 727 and the rear axle. His was optional 4wd he had what they called feather tap thet if one wheel started to spin you tapped the brakes it switched to the other wheel. That was a beast id love to find another one!

    Not for hired……glad to see you brought it back to life,,,,, when you make the flatbed for it make the sides drop off not pick up and remove drop down like a tailgate……..that’s way you would always have them with you….. and you can also take them out of your way that’s just my opinion keep up the great work and take care yourself stay healthy stay happy junk Mando

    Thank you so much for saving that J10! Back in the day I had a 1979 J10 with the 360 V8 and the turbo 400 transmission. I wished I would have never sold that truck!

    Quadratrac and full time 4-wheel drive are good in the mountains in winter when you are constantly switching between dry road and icy road. You can have a pretty good vehicle there with mainly an investment of time to straighten things out. Take care.

    Man that was good deal you got for $200 dollars man. And all it was was a simple little fix. It sounds really good man. All you need to do is fix the brake issue and it would be a good running truck. Man it cleaned up very nicely too. I really enjoy watching this. Thank you for sharing this video.

    I for sure will be watching.... smart move to only get it for two bills... it would bring more at the scrap yard if it failed. I bought that same kind of rig new in seventy four.. the J30 with three forty five international engine, and a four speed. It was a quad track to start with but with all the parts I had, a 205 transfer case an hubs. I had it for years an kept it really nice... I got a offer of three grand in two thousand five ... I liked the rig too much... I also had a bad habit of leaving my keys in everything. A few days later my fifteen year old grandson stole it an went joy riding... it wound up in a creek bottom thirty some feet down.. he got hurt so I waited an he came to apologize but a new plan had came about.... him and his friends who were with him went to that creek where it was ... I supplied the comalongs and he at first didn't want to.... After I blacked his eyes to a dark shade of blue, an I told him it was cause I can't kick his little buddies butt.. so your going to take one for each with you that day... he was working at getting it out like his wrist was broken so guess what, every thing runs better with another tune up... and he worked past dark every night till it was out and home... I never fixed it as it kinda broke my heart. He asked me one day if I was still mad.... He woke up in about ten minutes with some smelling salt. I broke his front tooth out that time.... I might mention... that boy was a hell of a lot bigger than me by a good fifty pounds... and he boxed in school. He missed a week of school that week but i picked up his school work. I was raising him after his mom died an she knew I would do good by her. his father was a unknown an so his mom had put me as his legal parent when he was born.... he went to the cops and told them I was abusing him... he had been in jail several times... I got him all the way through school, an at twenty five with a family of his own... I got crippled very bad an to this day have never walked again... I gave him free and clear a full shop with every tool you can ask for... I just couldn't sell them as that hurt as bad as getting hurt... so he wound up with a full conex full of my heavy equipment tools, an every shop tool including lifts for a big rig as well.. a eighty by two hundred shop, storage buildings and a lot more including my kw wrecker. I was worth a fair coin at the time. I can say that he has not visited me for the last two years...I got hurt in two thousand five so he has kinda forgot what made him a good man

    Diamond plate the floors and bed, sheet metal you can get from anything from an old freezer to the thick stuff you get from furnace oil tanks [for the rockers] lol Have Mig welder? Use the rusty bits to measure up what you need to replace the rusty bits. Paint it all Rustoleum Brown or whatever colour you choose. Doesn't have to be some showroom beauty. Weld her good and sturdy for the winter months... maybe drop a junkyard LS in it with a 4L80E trans for the rear wheels... whatever... you can have fun with it. 200 bucks? Hell the gauge cluster is worth more than that lol
