The Jeep Gladiator, Jeep Pickup or J-series full size pickups are based on the full-size Jeep SJ Wagoneer platform, built under numerous marques from 1962 to 1988. The Jeep Gladiator/Pickup design is noteworthy for remaining in production for more than 26 years on a single automobile platform generation. The Gladiator was the basis for the first post-war U.S. Army trucks designed to be civilian vehicles and adapted to military use.

The Gladiator name was dropped in 1971, after which the line was known simply as the Jeep pickup, or J-series. The pickups were designated as J2000 and J4000 models. The long wheel base J4000 was dropped after 1973. From 1974 to 1988 they only made the J10 and J20 models

This is a very solid and unique 46-year-old California survivor, you would be hard pressed to duplicate such a unique California survivor. I have tried to describe the truck the best I can with as many details as possible. I have included several detailed photos of everything I can think of. Please remember this is a 46-year-old 4x4 truck if there are any additional questions, clarifications or photos needed please ask me and I will respond ASAP.
