I might have spoke up too soon on the other thread....but here's the history:
- The Jeep full sized truck was introduced in 1962 as the 1963 Gladiator. They were available in a 120" short wheelbase (7' box) designated as the J200 series. The 126" long wheelbased (8' box) were the J300 models. - The model designations were revised in the mid '65 model year to the J2000/3000 series. In 1970, they added the J4000, as the extended 132" wheelbase chassis. - For the 1970 model year, the grille was revised to the verticle grill arrangement similar to the Wagoneers. - In 1971, the 126" wheelbased trucks were dropped, the J3000 series now became 132". - The Gladiator name was dropped in1972, designated only as the J2000/3000/4000 models. - In 1974 the model designations were revised again to just J10 (120" or 131" wb) and J20 (for the 131" only). - In 1981, the roof was changed, removing the leading eyebrow-lip.
The DJH/NJ international model represents a 1963-1969 Gladiator J200/2000 series Townside although missing the distinctive roof eyebrow.

Wow... no more questions!
I have a DJH Gladiator because I was going to change it into a Grand Cherokee. Then I thought that it was too rare to modify, but now that I started casting, I could make copies and modify at will. Yay!

Then I thought that it was too rare to modify, but now that I started casting, I could make copies and modify at will. Yay! That was my intention too. But the guy who should make a Cherokee of it didn't have much time, so he just made some copies from this Western Model. See the manufacturers list under DutchArt. Cor.
