1978 Jeep J10 - Piggy The Pig Truck
Part 2: Prepping For The RoadDriving the ’78 J10 known as Piggy the Pig Truck down the road is an assault on the senses. It’s much like driving a pick-up-shaped, open-top CJ down the road. There is tons of wind noise, a couple of rattles, creaks, and squeaks, and the ever-constant drone of the AMC 360 2-bbl V-8 spinning at about 3,000 RPM, thanks to the lack of Overdrive and 4.10:1 axle gears. The wing windows keep air flowing in the cabin pretty well and get assistance from both the driver’s and passenger’s manual-pull foot vents. The bench seat is fairly comfortable, but has absolutely no frills. It’s there to do two things; one, to keep your butt off the floorboards, and two, to help absorb every bump that the nearly 35-year-old shocks can barely handle. This thing oozes cool like the ever-present drip of motor oil from that 360 V-8!
