I"ve got one of the later "78 Model J10"s with the AMC 360 engine, the same Dana 44"s, and a 3 speed xmission with a manual tansfer case. I"ve had the "ole girl for nearly 20 years and have never had any problems out of it until a bearing in the xfer case went out on the front output shaft. As a result it"s currently sidelined, and for the first time since I owned it untagged, til the economy picks back up and I can afford to give it some TLC. As far as the Buick engine I don"t have any knowledge of that since mine has the AMC, but the rest of the truck is basically the same and all I can say is it"s downright tough. Like another post said it rides and handles like a truck so if your looking for smooth riding and comfort it"s not what you want. However if your looking for a vehicle that will get you where you want to go reliably then you can"t go wrong. I would suggest going ahead and putting a winch on it if you plan to go offroad as you will eventually get overconfident in it"s abilities and get stuck somewhere. Too they didn"t come with locking differentials so you might want to go that route also. Personally I never put locking diff"s on mine and it was only an issue a couple of times but that"s what the winch was for.
All that said the one your looking at is a great looking truck and appears to be in great shape so if you want a real truck and don"t mind paying for a little extra gas then by all means go for it and enjoy it.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
