That is a sharp looking truck.
But, then again, I think I might be just a bit biased (see my avatar).

I almost bought one of these and a FC at the same time , pretty much both frames and bodies.. I still kick myself for not doing it...there is something about these in person that I just gravitate to. Ugh.. now I want one again..

I had a ‘61 (as I recall). Flat head 6 cyl. Hauled a lot of deer out of the woods in it. Great Jeep except for the seat. Short on legroom and very verticals back. It wasn’t comfortable at all. Wish I still had it, though.

My great-grandpa had a J-10/Gladiator that he used for bear hunting when he was a guide and then we used as a ranch truck when I was a kid. Then we had another one after that for awhile. Always cool trucks.
