Price: US $1,500.00

Description:

1963 Jeep J200 gladiator truck with venerable Tornado 258ci straight 6, T150 3spd Trans. First year Jeep (Kaiser-Jeep).
A very astute Jeep enthusiast has informed me that this is a super rare 2 year only IFS (Independent Front Suspension) Jeep Gladiator. Look it up online. He tells me that he has only encountered 2 in real life, a Wagoneer and a truck and both were at the junkyard. This is the Dana 44 model IFS and may be the only one know to exist!
I pulled this form an article by Richard Truesdell
I've never seen a Gladiator with the SOHC six and IFS, as most Gladiators were built with the standard solid-axle setup. In fact, I've seen only one Wagoneer with IFS.
The Jeep Has some rust as seen in pictures. Driver door does not latch correctly. Front seat upholstery and padding are shot. Also, has had gas tank replaced and fill pipe relocated, as seen in pictures. Have not run it long enough to see if all the gauges work, but my guess would be no since it has under dash gauges installed. The truck is all original to the best of my knowledge. It is complete and runs. However, the carburetor will need cleaned from many years of sitting. I have a title that has be signed by the previous owner, however, it was never registered. I bought this truck with the intention of restoring it but have come to the realization I will never have the time. My loss is your gain. If you are looking for a great project truck that will only go up in value, then stop looking, this is it!
