- In this episode of Rotter's Garage, this '65 J-300 is getting some attention! The truck itself is a pretty solid unit from out west, but is in need of some major repair to make it roadworthy again. One of the cool things about it is somewhere along the line, someone shoved a 300 straight six Ford engine into it! After dragging it out of a garage and trailering it to the shop, the process of returning this thing to the road included all new brakes, lines, and hoses. A new exhaust system. Properly mounting the fuel tank so it wouldn't fall out of the truck or rub on the driveshaft. Working out some wiring gremlins, and a few cosmetic repairs and additions to the body. The thing really ran and drove good after all the repairs were done, just a cool little Jeep Truck!
Gotta keep that blue imo. The tremors blue is just mwah 🤌🏻
I have a 1969 J-3000 I freaking love mine. It's in a bout the same shape as that one. Runs and drives well but in need of some body work.
Pretty solid old Jeep. I think the 300 six will serve the owner well as the original engine was probably the overhead cam 230 cubic inch Tornado six which was not a great engine. I have my Dad's 1966 Jeep J - 2000 232 AMC six with three speed manual transmission and seven foot pickup body which I still use for snow plowing. These old Jeeps were great low speed work trucks due to their low gearing. Thanks for the video.
Love your build content! I have been watching since you began the Yard Art Model A. In addition to what you’re working on in your videos, I always get a kick out of seeing your other project cars in the background at various stages of completion. There’s some cool stuff in Rotter’s Garage!
Nice work. Always good to see the crap get cut out and sorted properly.
More great work!!! Enjoyed watching 🙂
On the road to 20k man you deserve it. Imagine if you could put all your time and energy into this. Maybe some day. Keep working hard 🫡

This was one of the better videos showing more wrenching
I'd forgotten that Jeep did the column shift... about everything I worked on was floor shift, and most of the pickups were 4 speed anyway. That's probably a regional thing, I suppose. The Ford 300 wouldn't have been my first choice, but it seems to work okay. I wonder how many carb chokes I've seen hooked to manifold vacuum.... it's a bunch, and sometimes it's hard to fix without a bit of thought. Good video; thanks!
THIS IS GOD'S WORK ! RESTORIN' THAT TREMORS TRUCK !
Very nice! Thank you. Continue making this kind of overall videos. 👍
Greetings from Germany! Amazing job! 💪💪👍
Great content! Pleasure to watch. First video, so im off to check out some more👍 also, what clutch master did you use? Mines leaking and im struggling to find a replacement 😪
I actually found a stock one on eBay at the time. Slave and master were available. 👍
If those rear lights are led you need a led flasher those leds don't draw enough amps for regular flasher to work
Yeah, I got them working off camera. I actually didn't even use an electronic flasher either, there was enough load with the front 1157 turn signal elements to make enough load to flash properly. Good call though 👍
Very cool.🤓👍
Canyonero!!!! 😂
Tremors!!!!!!
That one was a step side though, wasn't it?
It was but its a gladiator and you are one lucky dude
@@rottersgarage Thriftside in Jeep lingo. Yours would be the Townside bed.
A manual gear box with a shifter next to the steering wheel!😮 how? I have a gladiator with a manual gearbox and a normal shifter position, but I also have a steering wheel with a automatic shifter from a Cadillac, can I connect my steering wheel shifter with the manual gear box?
It's a 3 on the tree. 3 speed on the column. It is different than an automatic column, has two levers under the hood, one for first and reverse and one for second and third. Lever on column has an "H" pattern just like a floor shift would.
