Project J2008
Part XI: Welcome To Donesville!Lemme explain the method that is my madness. I originally purchased this '68 J2000 from a reader a few years ago after my F-250 tow rig died on La Cienega Blvd. in Los Angeles. I sent the Ford to take a dirt nap and planned to use the J2000 to haul engines, greasy parts, and other junk. And I did just that (for a couple days). But then I discovered the kingpin bearings were bad in the front axle. So rather than rebuild it, I started researching front axle swap options. Then, the bearing noise in the stock AMC 232 i6 engine started getting louder. Then, I started using a hand-held GPS to see how fast I was really able to travel on the road with the truck's 4.27 gears and 31-inch tires. I got tired of the brick-truck ride and spooky handling, so I added a lift, some 33s, a new engine, and an Overdrive tranny to the wish list. And so on.
