F/S 1971 GMC Jimmy

For Sale is my 1971 GMC Jimmy. The truck has many new parts that I have replaced in the previous year. These parts include:

Engine:
New Holly 670 Truck Avenger Carburetor
New Headman Headers
New Battery
New Battery Cables
New Starter
New Alternator
New Water Pump
New Fuel Pump and filter
New Plugs and wires
New Magnaflow Mufflers
New Heater Core

Suspension:
6” Superlift Suspension Kit
35x10.5x15 Mud tires

Misc:
New front Brake Calipers and pads
Warn Front Bumper
Warn Hubs
New Turn Signal Switch
New Hi/Lo light switch
New Black Dash pad
Two 5 ˝ inch round Hella lights

Not installed but included:
10 point SW Rollcage---Cost me about $250 shipped
Corbeau Baja Seats-------Around $350
Two 5point Racing harness----Around $150



As far as the condition of the truck it does runs strong. It is not a daily driver for me, I mainly use it for around my farm and around town. It has a 350, TH350, NP205, Dana 44 front and 12 bolt rear. It has rust in the normal places. I have replaced the left outside rocker panel. There were some small places throughout the inside where I cut out the rust and either riveted a piece of sheet metal down or welded in some sheet metal. This is not a professional job. I was planning on using herculiner to coat the entire inside of the truck so I wasn’t too worried about it. As far as the outside of the truck, the tip in front of the right front fender is rusted out. This must be common because several companies sell a weld in replacement just for that. There rest of the truck is not too bad, but will take some work before new paint. I am asking $2700 like it sits. At this point I am pretty firm. This includes the items not installed. One note one of the new seats was chewed up by rats so the cover will have to be replaced. I called Corbeau and it will be $80 bucks for a new cover. The only other problem that I can think of is there is some short in the wiring. Something drains the battery when turned off. I do not have the time to fix it so it “as is”. The top is in pretty good shape. The back hatch will need a little work and it needs weather stripping. I can take pictures of anything. Please serious inquiries only.
I live in Chattanooga, TN and I have a friend that can deliver for a nominal fee.

Wahoo...Chattanooga is in TN! and its closer than TX, WA, OR or any other place they have been for sale yet! I would love to see some pics as well! My in-laws are in Nashville not far away! and I'll be there in not too long!
If you can't post any pics can you email some? JT0378-misc@yahoo.com as many close-ups of problem areas as you can would be appreciated.


Is the top your referring to the hard top?

Thanks for posting

JT

Sorry for the double pictures. The first two are just behind my house playing around. The picture with the top on is when I bought it, with the old bumper and grill. The last couple of pictures were taken tonight. You can see where I have began to cut out and replace the bad rust spots. The majority of rust on the interior is just surface rust that can be grinded off. It is kind of dirty but was getting dark real fast. Hope these help.

I also have the original passanger and rear bench. The rear bench is in real bad shape. Like I said I have 2 cabeau baja seats but one needs a new cover.

The brush gard was homemade by the guy I bought the truck from. It is pretty nice for what it is. I would sell it but shipping would probably kill the deal.

I might consider trading. At this moment I am looking for cash but would entertain any offers.

Ok my website is up but I am still currently adding new pictures. I lost my battery charger for my digital camera and ordered another that should be in around the first of the week. At that point I will take a bunch of pictures of the problem areas and will keep everybody posted. Thanks
