Spartacus - 1965 Jeep Gladiator J-200

Your wife and your Gladiator, both keepers. The truck is one of the nicer ones I've seen in quite awhile. "Three on the tree" = Fun, fun, fun!!:thumb::thumb:

It is fun, but I have never shifted through such a wide and sloppy pattern

That's awesome Chris! What a great wife you have! I've always wanted an old jeep project, I'm jelly... Someday...
 
Thanks again guys!

I am super excited to start restoring her. As I said before, the dash is the biggest issue needed addressed and here are some interior pics.

First mod was to make her legal and install seatbelts. This is the original seat and cover. The drivers side springs need replaced though.

Next up was replacing the dash cluster so you can actually read it. I'll have to tach on the original miles to make it accurate.

And I was amazed by the cab corners and door jams condition. They'll all need blasting and mild repair, but nothing serious.

And who doesn't like a gun rack?
