Buying Tips

Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was on eBay

This is unusual. It could use some work.

Hi Ron,

I haven’t seen this relisted in a while. Should it reappear, I’ll drop you a note.

I am very curious to know how you got the trans to mate to the engine. I have these same engines which came in Dodge pickups in 1978 and I want to do a 4 speed but it requires a special adapter. Did you find one of these adapter things?

Hi Travis. I don’t know whether the owner of the truck will ever comment on it, but you might find the answer in this book:
