77 Cherokee Chief
« on: 03/29/10 - 05:18PM »
So i just bought a 77 cherokee chief.  Its got the AMC 360 and th400 tranny in it.  Speedo and fuel gauge does not work.  I have no idea what i'm doing with FSJ's but i love the way they look and always wanted one and couldn't pass up on the deal.  Any ideas on what i should do with it?  Personal thoughts/opinions?  I'll post up some pictures later when i'm not at work and can access them.

see thats where i'm torn.  i'm going to get it repainted to look exactly how it was off the showroom floor, its in great shape.  The only rust spots are the rear fenders(which i hear are common spots) it has virtually no rust.  I have a 95 YJ on 35's but am kinda leaning towards turning the chief into a mild rig.  Still daily driverable but if i want to go out i can.  As is stock it's sitting on 31's

definitely not wanting to go THAT big.  was thinking 33's max maybe 35's.  Want to be strong but moderately built.  Save the crazy stuff for the wrangler once i start back up on it

Keep it stock & drive the $# !+ out of it.  I had an '86 Waggy & loved it, but the wife HATED it, so it left a few years ago.
