thought it was a 77 but turns out it's an '82, both 10 bolts front and rear. a little rust on the driver side rocker. it was a diesel, still has the radiator, but the motor is a 350. It runs and drives. and supposedly the 4X4 works...will see tomorrow. is there anything else i need to look for. It has 2 tops.

well, I bought it and it is a bucket

, but I think with some TLC it will be a good trail rig.

I have had an '82 since '86. Be aware that the gaskets between the removable roof and the body/fixed roof can wear out and cause leaks that can ruin your floorpans. The windshield can also leak causing rust problems. You may have already found this out. I was going to replace the floorpans in mine but patched them with a product call MarineTex and then painted with POR15. I have all of the floorpans (new) in case you are someone else would be interested in them. Thanks.
