This 1965 Jeep Gladiator J-200 ½-ton pickup was acquired by the seller out of the San Diego, California area in 2017 and subsequently underwent a body-off refurbishment at Buege’s Classic in Winona, Minnesota, that was completed the same year. The truck is said to have been a California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection vehicle and has been repainted in the Parkway Green used on the department’s service trucks of that era. The interior has been reupholstered in gray vinyl and cloth, and power is provided by a 230ci OHC inline-six mated to a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Other equipment includes Dana axles, locking differentials, towing mirrors, a receiver hitch, a heater/defroster, and a push-button AM radio.
The body underwent rust repair prior to a repaint in Parkway Green with a white nose panel. The frame was media blasted, coated with Rust Bullet rust inhibitor, and finished in chassis satin black. Spray-on liner was applied to the underside of the cab, box, and fenders, along with the floor of the cab, bed, and inner fenders in the engine bay. Exterior features include a rhino grille, a white long-stem mirror on the driver side, a chrome West Coast towing mirror on the passenger side, a re-chromed front bumper, and a diamond-plate-topped rear step bumper that has been powder coated silver and equipped with a pair of Kawell LED backup lights, a receiver hitch and, a seven pin trailer connector. The weather seals were replaced.
Slotted 15″ steel wheels are painted white and fitted with manual locking hubs up front, polished covers, and Hankook Optimo H724 whitewall tires. A factory side-mounted spare tire hanger was added during the refurbishment. The suspension and steering were rebuilt using replacement parts, and custom stainless-steel brake lines were added.
The cabin features a bench seat reupholstered in gray vinyl with cloth inserts, matching door panels, a custom headliner, and black replacement carpeting with underlying sound insulation. Features include lap belts, a clock, a dash-top Jeep compass, and a Jeep-branded AM radio.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a horn ring and fronts a painted steel dash with instrumentation consisting of a 100-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. An aftermarket horizontal oil pressure gauge is fitted to the right of the radio. The five-digit odometer shows 92k miles, approximately 1,500 of which were added since completion of the refurbishment. Total mileage is unknown.
The 230ci Tornado inline-six is a replacement that has been rebuilt and bored .030″ over. An MSD 6A electronic ignition was installed, and the cylinder head was modified to correct a known problem with oil drainage. Fuel is delivered from a replacement composite tank by way of custom stainless-steel lines and a fuel pump that is said to have been rebuilt in October 2020.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Borg-Warner T98 four-speed manual transmission with a “granny gear” and a dual-range Dana 20 transfer case with an integrated parking brake. Both the transmission and the transfer case were rebuilt. Dana 44 axles front and rear are equipped with Eaton ELocker differentials and 4.27:1 final gearsets.
