cleanOffered by a private seller in Westminster, Colorado, this 1972 Jeep J-4800 Camper Special is listed at $27,645 and shows just 76,775 original miles. A documented two-owner truck with a factory 8,000-lb GVWR one-ton rating, this rust-free example represents the heaviest-duty configuration of Jeep’s classic full-size pickup line. Powered by a 360ci V8 paired with a TH400 automatic and backed by Dana 60 and Dana 44 axles, this turn-key J-4800 blends rarity, capability, and preservation in a way that’s increasingly hard to find.
- Top-of-the-Line J-Series Heavy Duty: The Jeep J-Series marked Jeep’s entry into the full-size pickup market, competing directly with Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge in the 3/4 and 1-ton segments. The J-4800 Camper Special sat at the top of the lineup in 1972, factory-equipped for sustained heavy loads and built on Jeep’s most robust truck platform of the era.
- 360 V8, TH400, and Proven 4x4 Hardware: Power comes from a 360ci V8 mated to a Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission, a respected heavy-duty combination known for durability and smooth operation. The 4x4 system is backed by a Dana 60 rear axle and Dana 44 front axle, delivering the strength expected from a true one-ton-rated vintage Jeep.
- Factory Camper Special Configuration: This example retains its original steel pickup bed, heavy-duty J-series frame, and correct axle configuration consistent with the 8,000-lb GVWR rating confirmed by the factory data plate. An added air conditioning system improves usability while preserving the truck’s classic exterior character and purpose-built stance.
- Classic Cabin with Functional Upgrades: The interior maintains its vintage Jeep truck feel while benefiting from the added comfort of air conditioning for modern drivability. Controls, drivetrain operation, and systems are reported functional, making this a usable classic rather than a cosmetic-only restoration.
- Two Owners, Rust-Free, Documented Mileage: This is a documented two-owner truck showing 76,775 original miles, with no accident history reported by the seller. The body, frame, and bed are described as rust-free, an exceptionally desirable trait for any classic Jeep J-series, and it is offered with a clean title in hand.
If you’ve been searching for a Jeep J-4800 Camper Special for sale, a rust-free Jeep J-series truck, or a legitimate one-ton vintage 4x4 pickup, this example delivers. It pairs documented low mileage, factory 8,000-lb GVWR heavy-duty specs, and true 4x4 capability in a clean, turn-key package.
