The private seller of the Pick of the Day notes in the vehicle’s advertisement on ClassicCars.com that “These Jeep J10 models are very rare.”
Indeed, the Pick of the Day is a 1977 Jeep J10 pickup truck, of which The Standard Catalog of Light-Duty Trucks notes that while Jeep produced 32,996 of its CJ-5 models, 25,474 CJ-7s, 19,900 Wagoneers, it built only 12,191 J-10s, its half-ton pickup.
Only Jeeps from 1977 that might be more rare would be the 3/4-ton J-20 pickup or the 2,754 CJ-6s built for export only.
Making the Pick of the Day even more rare is the dealer’s note that it has been driven less than 24,000 miles since new.
The 1977 J10 on offer here has a 360cid V8, an upgrade option for the J10 in 1977. The powerplant is linked to an automatic transmission.
“The paint is all original except for the bronze that was added later to make this truck stand out,” the seller points out.
“This is a numbers-matching truck and to find one in this condition is unheard of… new wheels and tires were added, has a storage box in the bed, rear window slider”
The truck also has been lifted 3 inches, the seller notes, adding “the interior is immaculate.”
The truck has cruise control, cassette audio, power brakes, power steering, power locks and a tilt steering wheel.
The vehicle is located in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, and is being offered for $28,000 (U.S.).

Real cool jeep
Put that up against the new Bronco. Guess who win’s.
I have a 1974 j 10 6 cyl 3 sp stick . very good running truck!
Nice!!
Very nice truck, if purchased how difficult is it to register in Say, California or Washington state?
Good question Luis! ahahaha
Not trying to cause trouble. I like Jeros and this one is full of the stuff that make them great. But this is odd. It says a rare 1964. Then the article calls it a 1977 J-10.
Although to my recollection the 1977 had a bar grille if bright metal.
This grille is a molded plastic and the bumper and mirrors all look like from a 1982. Have you checked the VIN!
Year is definitely wrong. Oldest it could be is 1979, more likely its a 1980 model.
Is this truck still for sale?
Nice 1977 Jeep J-10 4×4 Pickup- It’s a keep. It is very rare to find one with only 24,000 miles. It is beautiful!
My 1976 Jeep J-10 4×4 pickup has about 65,000 miles . I am just in the process of finishing up a ground up restoration . I am adding to it A/C, and other thing to modernize it. example: Jeep AM/FM stereo Radio,CB From that era, 2 to 3 in. Body lift, T-18 transmission, file injection and boast up the Hp, of the 258 cu.n. engine to about 250 H.P. , rear disc brakes for shorter stopping distance. I have re-painted Jeep as close to original two tone colors. Was not able to locate the exact blue color, The white color is the original white alpine color. My goal is to make it more up to date, and more modern, mechanically,
My Dad bought one of these one time and let me drive it. It was baby blue on the outside and in mint condition. I fell in love with it. I’ll never forget it.
I would keep it.
