1978 DJ-5

Post by wdln »

So yeah, I did this. AMC 258, TF-727, right-hand drive. Runs and drives nicely. Could use a brake job. I think it's drums all the way around, so maybe the brakes are just crappy to begin with. Still has the mail tray up front. Manual steering.

Short term: put a couple more seats in it. Long term, maybe drop in a narrow track Dana 30 and convert it to four wheel drive. If you have any Jeep seats sitting around, let me know.
