I bought a new J-10 in 1976. It was tough as nails for 100k miles then the body disintegrated and the timing chain flew south. I drove that truck everywhere off road and it took a lot of punishment.

Luckily where we are grabbing her from is where rust is not as much of an issue....as opposed to here in Canada hahaha Luckily I have a friend whose dad has a J20 they worked on together and is willing to lend a hand when needed.

Finally making some progress on this wagoneer thanks to my pops. I bought it with a broken 401 in it, well in the back of it. my dad cobbled together a junkyard 360 to at least get it running, which he did on the past weekend....millions of mice are now without the exhaust pipe homes (this was a barn find). the 401 shortblock is almost done being built and i bought a used edelbrock pro-flo 2 for the 401...holefully our winter project time and money allowing...i'm all new to this so my dad is helping me with the project and the "posting" here. |

 Welcome to the forum. I too just bought my first FSJ - an 81 J10 LWB, 360/4-speed. Also a barn-find/estate sale, it's been un-used since 2002, so it's taking a little bit to breathe life back in it. I've got lots to learn too, as my knowledge on these things quirks is pretty minimal - structurally and suspension wise they are very different from AMCs, that's for sure.

the wagoneer is finally ready to go in for a safety inspection. The "temporary" junkyard 360 starts like new. still chasing some "electrical gremlins  " from sitting in a barn in north carolina for 20 some years, as well as wiring customizations by previous owner. i put a new alternator and regulator on it (factory style, nothing non-original). it didn't have a gauge cluster so we found one (and put in LED lights). weird thing is happening though, when jeep starts and is running the "ammeter" goes to about -20, and then to about -30 as we rev it. oh, new batter to. Is there a chance the ammeter can be defective. its all wired based on tsm wiring diagram

Well now there is a goal...  He can be the winner. I have told him may times to bring a trailer (or 3) and he can take it all! Have fun with the Waggy!
