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.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
