Rare Jeep Revival and Road Trip! (S01E05)

David Freiburger and Steve Dulcich take pleasure in bringing forgotten vehicles back to life, and this time they’re tackling a 1967 Jeep J100 panel truck that’s been languishing in the backyard of Jp Magazine Editor Rick Péwé. This unique truck, an Army surplus Audio-Visual Panel Delivery, was designed for media production in the field, with only about 2,500 units ever produced. It features an AMC 232ci straight-six engine, a three-on-the-tree manual transmission, and a Dana 20 transfer case for four-wheel drive. Though it’s a gem, it hasn’t hit the road since 1995. With a tight deadline, Freiburger aims to drive it to the Southern California Timing Association’s land speed races at El Mirage Dry Lake for patrol duty, followed by some off-roading adventures in the newly dubbed Flannel Wagon.
