How rare are 4x4 Jimmy's?
I was just wondering how rare, or hard to find are the 67-72 GMC 4x4 Jimmy's? Preferably in mostly stock condition.
I am asking this due to my own curiosity and the fact that I would like to own one in the future. Thanks for the input.

From what I understand there are not any written production numbers for GMC, but a good rule of thumb and accepted practice is that GMC were 1/3 the production of Chevy.

I am currently planning on turning my blazer into a GMC when I start replacing sheetmetal.

Well that is news to me about the Jimmy's only being built from 70-72. I guess it figures since I see far less of them. Someday I would like to own one as a DD. I was just wondering how hard it will be to find one in decent stock condition. A blazer won't do since I am too partial to four headlights. Of course a quick swap could change that!
Thanks for the info.

There are jimmy's out there, you've just got to search. There was a very nice original one on e-bay a month or so ago. I don't know if it even met the reserve. They usually don't sell as quickly mostly because I think people search more for Blazers than Jimmy's. Often, people will list them as both so they get more traffic.

Though they didn't make as many Jimmys, they also don't seem to sell for as high a price as a similar Blazer. I think it's a preferance thing on the grill/headlights.
Keep your eyes open and you'll find what you're looking for. |
