Ten years ago today

I went to buy this ten years ago today. While I was there my wifes water broke. I gave the guy a check and told him I would see him in a few days. So I got my 2wd Jimmy and my son on the same day. I drove the Jimmy for only one of the ten years I have owned it. It has spent eight years in non driveable condition. Grrrr! Here they are now. He is number 47.

Re: Ten years ago today

There are currently no plans for the Jimmy. My son may inherit in that condition.

Well, I hope he also inherited your vision and talent for metal work, because that is one of the cleanest lines I have seen on that particular body style

There was also something you did with the tailgate, but I can't remember what...oh well, CRAFT strikes again
Sorry I won't be around to see it finished!

I'm pretty sure the roof was from a suburban.

Re: Ten years ago today

Okay, so it works for me as long as I'm logged in, but quits once I log out. Obviously I'm not gonna get the links to work!

Basically I did an advanced search for all threads started by brad2 and this will get all of brads old threads.

Good luck, Rg
