Camping for a Couple Days

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Starting this (Wednesday) afternoon, I’ll be out of service until Friday morning. We have a narrow, though cool, window of weather to escape for two days in the motorhome. Ann’s feeling a little better and Dad is being moved from a hospital to a rehab place. So, we have a short window of independence.

“THIS IS A UNIQUE JEEP PICKUP BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE A SNUB NOSE. THE FRONT OF THE RIG IS FLAT LIKE IT WAS HIT IN THE FRONT, BUT WAS JUST THE DESIGN. IT WAS ACTUALLY A VERY COOL LOOKING TRUCK. THE UNIT REQUIRED WEIGHTS UNDER THE BED TOWARD THE REAR SO IT WOULD NOT TIP ONTO ITS NOSE. THIS HAS A 4 CYLINDER ENGINE IN IT AS IT IS BASICALLY A HALF TON AND MOST OF THE FC 170 TRUCKS WERE AN INLINE 6 CYLINDER AS THEY WERE DESIGNED AS A 3/4 TON. IT HAD 4WD AND WAS A STICK SHIFT WITH NO SPECIAL AMENITIES LIKE A/C. MY UNCLE HAD ONE AND TO CARRY MORE PASSENGERS, WE WOULD SET ON THE ENGINE COVER TO RIDE ALONG. OKAY IN THE WINTER, BUT NOT SO GOOD IN THE SUMMER.

1976 DJ-5 Queen Creek, AZ **SOLD**

UPDATE **SOLD** Was $2800.

This was likely a Safari Kar based on the rims, steering wheel, and tail lights.

“1976 Jeep with straight 6 and 3 speed automatic transmission. This is a 2wd DJ5 Jeep with 31 inch BF Goodrich tires. Great fun if you have some land or live near the open desert. We use this Jeep to get around on our property and take into the wash. Runs and drives but the transmission does slip going into second gear but will drive around town fine. Make offer or will consider trades”
