1. My new 69 Jeep Gladiator project!

Ok, this is a test on doing my first Blog, so I am using a car project to try it out. This is a 1969 Jeep Gladiator Truck, One of the good, smooth running Buick 350 motors. nice height and profile. Unique truck for my hauling needs (but also an interesting project, for my hobby of doing hands on work)
Man that blanket covers a little shredded cushion and a lot of broken springs, no door panels, wrong radio forced into dash, and original rubber flooring hiding who knows what kind of rust for the past 44 years! But the body is really straight and panels are rust free, motor runs really smoothly, 4 wheel drive works fine. An exciting project.
Full size bed, plenty rusty but not rusted through. I hear these tailgates are very hard to find with the original "Jeep" stamping.
