Boss says "You want to get out for a bit and go for a ride?"

Me "Sure."

Boss "You wouldn't have any interest in a Jeep would you?"

Me "Sure."

Taadaa....






304 AMC V8, still has the air pump emission junk on it.


Can't quite tell if this is a Dana 20 or a Dana 300....I know the picture sucks, I got a side full of weed-stickers for my efforts too.

[SuperBuickGuy]

uhhh, where's the jeep? all I see is a rusty, crumpled pile of something

congrats?

[Deaf Bob]

See FJOverland thread for a coupon for help getting this back on the road

[SuperBuickGuy]

but before you do, ask SBG if he has any of those suspension parts as spares.... I have part of a 3 link set up, and a 4 link airbag set up that don't yet have a home - though, all this talk about V8 S-10 blazers has gotten me thinking about what if.... so act soon, time is limited ;)

or, send a old, austin healy and I'll send you boxes of parts to fill its space so the wife doesn't know

[DanStokes]

Bob, is this a Derby "after" pic? I didn't know they derbyed Jeeps.

How much is he paying you to haul it away? If you are paying for it I would not pay more than $.08/lb Goof luck!

Looks pretty close!

[STINEY]

You guys.....there is gold buried in them thar rust flakes! SBG, it sounds like we'd just be swapping boxes of parts? Even I may not be able to tell the difference. There is a strong possibility of a title to that "jeep" as well. Might be a start to that 2wd 425 Cadillac sand digger idea.....2x4 box frame and mount the drivetrain, 8.8 ford rear, and some side panel cutouts. I'm smelling #1500 territory.

[SuperBuickGuy]

do you think 425 ci is enough? I suspect you need at least 500 ci to make that work... better yet... a rotary

Winner! I see a lot of them that are legit but no title here quite a bit lately. Maybe the UTV thing has ranchers cleaning the old farm rigs out in favor of "new highness".

I see a Jeep in there. Can't you buy replacement everything except a title?

[Russell]

Oh the ever elusive title. I have heard tail of such, in my search for low priced caged roller mustangs with built rear end. I too often find they don't have the title. So if I am going to put the drive train out of my street car into a race car how much more of said street car needs to go to the new shell to consider it a body swap?

[STINEY]

I'm surprised nobody has asked about the truck in the background? Too much left-over turkey?

[SuperBuickGuy]

it's just a rusty, dented chevy truck... 1/2 ton, no dana 60 axles, no np 205, no bbc... sorry, just a meh

that is a dana 300 long output

[tardis454]

Golly, that sure is a nice solid Jeep, I bet that 304 fires right up, seriously.
Jeeps of that era in Ohio are rare, I'm surprised THAT much of it is still left.

Actually, its a 3/4 ton....with a 14 bolt in the rear (not sure of the front, didn't look) and it looked like a 205 in there......you got me on the bbc, its a small-block. Looked like a 4 inch lift with 2" body lift, definitely aftermarket springs w/polyish bushings. Looked like a sm465 too.

Thanks for the d300 identification. I've been studying it and couldn't decide if it was a d20 or a d300.

That and the earlier style rollbar, and the dashpad puts it as an '80. It even has the Levi-seats option....no fold-n-tumble rear seat though, boo.
