i thought it was, maybe a j20
and the current bed is just sitting there and its a ford dually bed that was narrowed. i'm giving it to a neighbor to fix his bed. the green bed is from a military trailer i just bought. anyone want to buy the rest of the trailer chasis?

Tremor!
not because of that particular rig of course, but more because a J-10 was the star of that movie. I'm not sure that bed was OEM
It needs a .50 cal hole in the fender. :gigem:


i'll start the asking price at $120 and we will work from there. one tire is flat and obviously i am keeping the bed. it is currently in waco so i need to go get it. send me a pm if still interested or if you want to make my life easier you can go get it and can have the frame for substantially less
I'll give you $50

I think it should be called "Joo 10"

If I go through the hassle of picking it up, I will give you $20 for what remains after you take the bed. Calll me tomorrow if thats cool. 713-398-5405 Free rides on said trailer in ALto will also be included. I'm drunk.

after getting it home and having some fun with a sawzall and a grinder i ended up with this. i moved the bumber up 3 inches and in 5. after the a pillar on one side fell out and the other was about to i decided to go roofless. when i make a cage i will add some sort of roof so it doesn't look goofy. scrapped the bed and the rear bumper etc after the spring hanger. now to fix the non existent floor and rebuild the motor and all new brakes. so much for a cheap jeep. if i'm lucky i will get away with new rings and bearings and maybe rebuild the heads. the truck was flooded and sat for 9 months before i got it. atleast it looks mean and fun right now

You need to do something with that wall of a bumper.

why cut any off the bottom? your shackles are already lower than the bumper.

if your neighbors didnt like the red jeep on jackstands, they are really gonna love this thing.
