Hey yall, I am picking up a 1971 J2000 truck next weekend and I had a question about which engine and transmission is has in it. Ive read a lot of articles and vin decoders but have gotten some mixed messages. Mainly because I have read that all 71s have the 358 while someone else said they switched from the 232 to the 258 mid year.
I know it is a straight 6 and a manual transmission but I need to know which ones. The truck was manufactured in june 1971. And the Vin is 2406W17400XXX. I know there is a code on the side of the engine, but I cannot get to the truck until next weekend and wanted to have as much info about it as possible so I can be ready when I pick it up. Can yall give me some guidance please? Thank you!
Ps Im super excited to be joining the community! Ive always wanted a jeep truck and feel very blessed to be getting one.
