Bringing home a 72 Jimmy this weekend! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Austinjay · 06-19-2019, 05:35 PM

Bought this 72 Jimmy yesterday afternoon for a great price. It was too muddy to load it so i will be going back when it dries up a bit. Its rough but its complete minus the rear seat and top. Not sure what i will do with it yet. I honestly might getting running and driving and cruise it the way it is for the summer and maybe sell it in the fall.

Good score! A little buffing and it should be like new...

**BIG ORANGE** · 06-20-2019, 10:57 AM

Congrats, oh yeah a lil wax and compound and your looking good then,,,

**lks dcvn** · 06-20-2019, 12:43 PM

I'm so glad you bought this truck.

I kept seeing it show up on my ebay search and with 3 Blazers/Jimmys in my restoration queue already - I just couldn't buy another one.

Happy to see if went to a board member so I can see the updates on it along the way.

Good purchase and Congrats!

I didnt know it was on ebay.... the guy i bought it from said he only had it listed on Craigslist. Are you sure its the same one?

**72gmguy** · 06-20-2019, 02:34 PM

I like it! I don't have a Jimmy. I would add that to my collection.

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-21-2019, 09:29 AM

Nice find. I'm subbed to see it what you do with it.

mgkgmc · 06-21-2019, 01:07 PM

Is that considered a Jimmy Custom? Nevermind noticed the glove box door nice score.

Austinjay · 06-21-2019, 01:10 PM

This will actually be the second Jimmy i have owned with "custom" badges on the doors. Its only on the passenger door on this one. I get to pick it up today so i will post more pictures in the next few days. I'm actually pretty excited. The guy i bought it from said it has been sitting there for 20-25 years.

**lks dcvn** · 06-21-2019, 02:12 PM

It's the same one - I messaged the guy to see if it had a clear title and he replied 'yes'. It didn't sell for at least 3 times of him listing it.

Appears to still be in the same spot as the ebay listing was. I wish I would have saved the pix from that listing.

It appears to be in decent shape for a clean frame/shell and title.

You are exactly right. I found the listing yesterday and asked him why he hadnt taken it down. Said he forgot he listed it.

JimmyFloyd · 06-26-2019, 03:02 PM

Looks good. Wish I could find one like that. If you decide to sell, I'll get in line.

PM sent.

**Curtb1971** · 07-01-2019, 09:08 AM

Hmm, I was wondering where that Jimmy ran off to. Glad it's not sitting out in the mud anymore.

**HeloCrewChief** · 07-01-2019, 10:47 PM

That is really cool Austin. You sure know how to find them!

Austinjay · 07-02-2019, 10:12 AM

Bit of a update on the Jimmy. Did a new starter, fuel pump, new fuel tank and an oil change and this this runs and drives great. I also couldnt stand how ratty the dash was so i replaced the dash pad, new cluster and an original radio. Buffed the dash to get most of the surface rust out. Ordered new tires for it which i will put on a set of 15x8 rally wheels. Still trying to decide which color to paint the wheels. I dont like black wheels but i guess ive never seen white rallys on these trucks. Do you guys think white rally wheels will look weird? I would like some input. Oh and what better vehicle for a first drive for my 11 year old daughter? Her first time behind the wheel, in our back pasture driving the old jimmy. she absolutely loved it.

**Ol Blue K20** · 07-02-2019, 10:27 AM

That's awesome! I've seen white rallies and its not my cup of tea. Argent always looks good.

rsavage · 07-02-2019, 10:34 AM

I think white wheels would look good.

**HeloCrewChief** · 07-02-2019, 11:00 AM

I vote for the stock argent on the rally’s.

Austinjay · 07-25-2019, 09:51 AM

Finally got my wheels and tires done. I'm really glad i went with the factory argent color. New fuel tank is in, but now i am fighting a fuel gauge issue and rotted taillight housings. Ordered a new taillight harness and dug out some extra housings i had. Shes no show stopper but it runs and drives really good. I have also decided to sell this one as soon as i work the wiring issues out. What do you guys think its worth? I have a number in mind...

**Ol Blue K20** · 07-25-2019, 10:26 AM

It looks good with the new wheels.

**lks dcvn** · 07-25-2019, 01:29 PM

new wheels and tires probably doubled the price! Looks great.

litebulblsc · 07-25-2019, 04:57 PM

Looks cool, but the tires might be a bit too big.

blazintowers · 07-25-2019, 11:06 PM

Hard to believe she was sitting in a bone yard for 20-25 years. Looks cool!

rsavage · 07-26-2019, 06:24 AM

Salvage title?
