Head Honcho . . .

Here’s a cool little number from the list that belongs to Craig (who is Craig, anyway? Why not Ed, or Larry?).

 From the ad:

1977 Jeep J-10 HONCHO Pick-Up

Automatic All Time All Wheel Drive with Low Range

360 C.I. Engine New Starter New Battery

Factory Air Conditioning (rare)

Levi Strauss Interior

I have owned this Truck since 2000, I had it painted in 2001 by Maaco and there are no dents. I also had the Honcho decals professionally reproduced by Prism Graphics.

This Truck has the GM Turbo 400 that I have had serviced regularly. It has also been checked out and serviced by the Jeep Dealer on Aurora in Seattle.

The 4-wheel drive works great and has Low Range that will climb a tree.

New radiator, new starter, tune-up, filters, new battery, truck runs down the freeway very nicely at 65 mph.

The interior has some rips and tears, Ive had it covered since I have owned it.

This is a rare truck that took me over 1 year to find with this color combo.

Collector Plates (no tab fees every year)

$3,999.00 OBO

The collector plates are a big attraction around here, because you never have to pay for registration tabs, much less emissions. The downside is they cost a lot more than standard plates, and technically, you’re not supposed to drive the vehicle every day. As for the Levi Strauss, interior, perhaps someone more schooled in the ways of Jeep interiors can shed some light on this interesting trim option. Do they come with copper rivets? Boot cut?

This post is short and sweet, but I had to share this cool Jeep with you. As I mentioned in my very first post, the variety of cars and trucks around here continues impress me.

    AMC did a lot of different interiors. You could get the Levi's in Gremlins, too (maybe other models as well, I don't know).

    There was a Gucci interior in the Hornet at one point.

    And the Pierre Cardin interior in the 73 and 74 Javelins was pretty awesome.

        I love 1/25 and 1/24 models. Built a lot of them when I was a kid.

        No matter how highly desirable Jeep pickups are, there is only one Dude truck…the original…

    My CJ-5 has the Levi's interior. Textured vinyl with copper button faces as accents. I like it.

    Nice truck, but I keep thinking of "Mike Honcho" and giggling.

    With bona-fide 4WD and a manuel T-case, this would make the near-perfect motorcoach towed vehicle, i.e. toad.
    Damn, Seattle is a long way from Fort Worth…

        This is somewhat tempting, but the coach needs some work, first.
        I did make it from Rawlins, WY, to Fort Worth in one shot this past January, though. Four-digit days are not normally done in vehicles like ours, but it's supremely comfy, and will cruise at 75 MPH all day long, if you have enough credit on your card for fuel.

            After three days, four nights, in LaGrande, Oregon's Freightliner parking lot, I wanted home…immediately!
            Daytime highs of 25F, maybe, overnight lows of single digits F froze pipes, inside pipes, so we had no water by day two.
            Well, I'd go out and get water in the electric kettle, draining it from the 100 gallon fresh water tank, we'd warm it up and use it for whatever.
            Yeah…that was a trip I'm eager to forget.
