Just imported from East Germany.... Got tied up in customs but its back!!!!
I've always said I would document my projects when I start turning wrenches but I've never taken the time to actually do it. I wind up with a finished product and have nothing to show where it came from so here we go...
This will be a long thread, may go months without updates or pics BUT the show shall go on....
A little background on the rig. Shes a 1979 Jeep J-10 Honcho Edition with 66k miles, originally came with Levi interior, 360ci, TH400/quadratrac with low range box. The seats were reupholstered years ago (anyone familiar with this trim package knows that the fabric was not up to snuff in the durability department), aside from that, it is completely stock.
The truck has been in my girlfriends family since new, her father purchased it when it was a couple years old from a distant relative and it has remained in his possession since around 1981. For the last 10+ years the truck has been sitting, silent. I'm told there was a fuel delivery/carb problem that kept the truck from running correctly. Needless to say, things came up, and interest was lost in getting it back running.
The girlfriend has wanted to fix up the truck for years, a few weeks back her father gave her the keys and said its yours.
After a few hours of fighting with locked up brakes, tow straps, and come-alongs she was loaded up on the trailer and off to her new home...
