With eight-lug wheels and a full-floating rear axle? I don't think so. Looks like J20 parts to me.

That is a gorgeous and rare truck. Very cool. They are going for pretty big money restored now.

The Jeep pickup FCA should have retro re-made, W- hellcat motor. 😍Beautiful old Jeep Truck.

You don't see them in the wild anymore as the last ones were made in 1988. Also Jeep/AMC was a distant 4th place in size and sales compared to Ford/GM/Dodge in truck sales. Really by the 80's Dodge was barely selling any trucks as they hadn't been upgraded since the early 70s. Enter the Cummins and that changed. When Chrysler bought out Jeep in 1987 they decided to kill the Jeep trucks as competition. The fact FCA now has a Jeep mid-sized truck is a miracle, but I doubt we'll never see a full sized Jeep truck again. A shame as full sized Gladiator on a Ram frame with some extra off-road goodies sounds so sweet.

Brian Deiwert if you look a little deeper into it, the new 93 Dodge was what you get when you give Jeep engineers an unlimited budget, but they were forced to put a Dodge grill on it.

That truck is amazing! I love seeing old Jeep trucks. My neighbor had one back in the early 1980's. I'll never forget it.

Awesome overlander build! What a great Jeep!

Tommy, you said you don't know where these J20 Trucks went,..well they went to rust and dust, quite literally,....my Father in Law owned one, I had a few CJ's in the day(s) and they all just rusted away to scrap. Bert ( or Burt ) was very smart and grabbed this one before it went in a land fill somewhere,...he's done a masterful job of restoring this great J20,..well done Sir! Yes Tommy,..it does deserve an 11 out of 10.

Seemed to be more about all of the accessories and little about the truck itself

I had a J10 as my 1st pick-up. It was a classic that I often got asked to sell, and I eventually did. Great truck!

Man I love that J20 it would be a nice companion to my CJ5 😷

My dad had a 1974 J20 (same age as me) with the 360, 4 speed and a flatbed. I learned how to drive a stick on it at 12 years old on the farm. I give this one a 12 out of 10!

Wow, that rig is nicely done. Thanks for sharing.

A+++! Very nice truck, and very nice build! Looking forward to more of this. Action videos are always welcome too!

Love that J20! great job making it a wonderful overlander!!

Love love love old J series jeep trucks. The dealership I still work at I started in 1976. We sold these so I've driven hundreds of them, always wanted one because I think they're so cool looking and tough. They were awesome trucks and hard to find now. Most probably rusted away to oblivion lol. His truck is really nice. Great to see one restored.

Outstanding truck! Classic yet usable, and Very well thought out. I don’t believe there is one thing that was left undone 👍

Its been fifteen years or a little more ago that I got my hands on one the factory rated as a one ton and it was longer and heavier in a lot of ways. It had a three sixty and I put the four forty in it with four speed and divorced transfer case. Rugged twelve thousand pound winches and a six inch floor tool box that slide out for access plus duel fuel tanks, tbi fuel injection with long tube headers... deep water snorkel, and topped off the tires with little thirty fives on american rims cause of the fact I know they are way strong. Its long gone as someone who must of needed it stole it and got it out of alaska, a place only able to travel the alcan or ferry but its never been seen again

That’s really sweet ! My dad had a 1969 Jeep Wagoneer , I loved that thing , it was the deer hunters special !

We had a 1974 J20 with a 401. Also had a 1973 J10, I think it had a 360. Had a J4000 with a 304, don't know what year for sure. 71 or 72? Mom had a 78 2 door Cherokee with QuadraTrac. It wasn't pretty but it always got her home.

I had a 65 wagoneer with the 360 and th400, J10 with the 360 4bl carburetor, 2 model 45 2door Cherokees, one had the T18 tranny in it , 4 speed , granny low. Both 360 and wide track models. Another brother had a J10 with a built AMC 390 in it. That one was a monster.

Oh man, he did a damn good job on that truck. I love the three different radios he put in.

Great looking build, glad it was saved and still in the family, love the look of the old truck.

I own a 82 J20 that is going through an engine rebuild (401) hope to have it on the road again...I loved this video, thanks!

Awesome 👏🏼 FSJ / J20 Congrats! Love this new video series

I'm really impressed by his attention to detail. Very nice mounting of all the wiring/electronics.

Great truck and good job still producing videos during this time!

That truck is sick AF. Wow. My pops had a 77 Cherokee Cheif with the 401 cu. Seeing the gauges reminded me how much I loved the interior.

Great video,..... a buddy of mine had one of these trucks with a 350 Chevy conversion in it and he was running 37" tires and a cab over camper,... he really misses that truck now!!!!

Awesome Truck!

It's the Twister truck, and another one was used in Termors. There's other popular movies it was used in but it slips my mind.

Awesome! Great looking truck.. very slick build too!

Love the interior color on this rig! Great build.

My neighbor has a 77 J20 and he uses it as his plow truck in the winter it’s got a bit of rust and it’s paint job is primer but he dose keep it running glad to see someone else is keeping those great trucks on the road

I had a 76 Cherokee 2 door back in the day. It was a tank with the 360 engine. It was amazing in the snow and would plow snow right up over the hood! Currently running a 74 CJ-5 all done up.

That truck on a scale of one to ten is at least 11. I had a 63-J200. And it was awesome. Maybe it's mastalgia, but I miss my old truck. Just got to Tommy giving it an eleven as I watch the video, and type this. 👍

Wow!! I had a 77 J20 paid $3,800 for it in 1978. I LOVED MINE. It was an automatic with quadratrac full time 4wd. Loved all but gas mileage. Lol. This one shown looks awesome. The Willys 4wd PU was introduced in 1949. They may have had 2wd earlier but 4wd was 49 as was the Willys wagon that was 2wd from 46 but 4wd option in 49

I have a Jeep J10 long bed that I am restoring. I only wish that I had the knowledge and skills that Bert has demonstrated here. Beautiful restoration. Mine was driven before it was parked and is mostly rust free but in need of a paint job.

AWSOME JEEP..that thing will last for Ever ..thank you for sharing ..👍👍

A friend of mine runs a landscaping business and he uses a J20 as his work truck. It's a beast.

That is nice! Always loved the jeep trucks! Beautiful

That's so cool! My dad has a 1979 J10 that we use to cut and haul wood, but it's in pretty rough shape and it's rusting away. I've always thought it was one of the coolest trucks of all time. It would be awesome to restore it, but it's such a rare truck, I don't know a good place for parts.

Also the movie Twister.

In the late 1960's I worked at a gas station / tire shop, back in the times where the station attendant pumped the gas and cleaned the windshield. I recall a guy coming in with a Jeep pickup and as I was pumping the gas, he asked me if I had any enemies. I said "no" then he said, "if you do, buy them one of these trucks." I don't remember what problems he was having with the truck, but apparently, he had enough.

this thing is sweet, one of my dream trucks is the J10 Val and Earl drive in Tremors

That was the best that J20 looked since Jeep drew the sketches for it back in the beginning !

Great vision for this beauty.

Man, this jeep truck looks way nicer than today’s gladiator. Great looking rig.

This this is SICK

I’m addicted to them! I have 2 J10’s and a J20. One of the J10’s is the SportSide model (Step Side) they are rare. My son has a J10 Golden Eagle. The big problem is the rust really bad.
