Gladiator identification ?

[Chris R]

Ok so I drove a 68 Gladiator yesterday and am still not sure if it's a J200 J300 J2000 J4000 or just what...the emblems are missing. Tag inside door says 6000lb.
It has a buick 350 with 3sp tranny Dana 20 with converted dana 70 dually rear end and a hd44 in the front. The title only states Gladiator. Is there another id somewhere I can look? Any tips would be appreciated!

I'm going to guess none of the above. It's a J-3000. I've not seen a J-2000 over 5600 GVWR.

What's the first 5 digits of the VIN?

Interesting. A dually rear end. What type of bed does it have? Any pictures?

It seems like there is a growing number of members in SW Virginia. Maybe there should be a SW VA meet and greet?

I will try that later. As for SW VA I see you are in B'burg at times. Are you familiar with us www.nrvjeepclub.com ?

Use [IMG] tags, not HTML. Photobucket makes it very easy to cut n paste pics, and you can't link them from your computer, only a host site.
