The line of pickup trucks from Jeep carried a flavor of rugged individualism, and this example from 1979 with a 401 CI V-8 under the hood is certainly special. In fact, the J10 here is Ray Evernham's personal vehicle, built with upgrades for both enjoyment and appreciation. The J10 model for 1979 was in the midst of what became a 26-year-long run for the Jeep’s full-size pickup. The solid 119-inch, SJ-type chassis stance was enhanced by the wide-wheel body option and its reconfigured grille with square headlights. Of course, the 4-wheel drive mated to a manual transmission makes this a driver’s truck, and there are other upgrades as well.
The 401 CI V-8 engine was the torque monster from AMC, and here it has been given a Holley 600 CFM Street Warrior carburetor and other classic hop-up pieces like an MSD coil and Edelbrock ribbed cast valve covers. The 4-speed manual transmission is mated to a transfer case that feeds power to the differentials, which now have ribbed gear covers and feature front locking hubs. There are power disc brakes, power steering with the N3 steering stabilizer and an added 3-inch lift kit as well. The body is painted black with an upper quarter red stripe and a full-length chrome side spear.
The interior is nicely set up as well, featuring bucket seats, an engine-turned dash facing, an auxiliary underdash gauge cluster, AM/FM audio equipment, a locking center console and a three-spoke steering wheel. Out back, there is spray-in bedliner and a Jeep tailgate with paint-detailed name stamping. With J10 and 401 emblems on the front quarter panels, a Jeep tag in the angular 1979 grille center, and a set of chromed Mickey Thompson wheels wrapped in Mickey Thompson Baja Classic III tires, it certainly looks the part. This sale will include receipts and should give the next owner an enjoyable classic truck from the 1970s that has a story behind it.
