wondering what other bodies might fit on a 79 jimmy frame
would a single cab fit?
anybody tried this?

It has been done before its normally called a Trazer(I know yours is a jimmy)

A Blazer body fits a Jimmy frame nicely!

Anything will fit with modification. What are you hoping to get as an end result?

motornut · 09-08-2011, 11:33 PM

sure a blazer would fit but find one lol
was just wondering if a pickup cab (CC is no i guess)would more or less bolt up
the body on the 79 (link below)is pretty toasted thought if i could slide a cab on there and make a
winter beater plow real short box thing,but hadn't thought about keeping it a one piece body.
now i'm thinkin a car body might too
wondered about cutting the front off my 89 burb for A pillers,hinge areas,across the firewall at the floor and then using the 89 front with it on the 79

To put a truck cab from a similar body you just need to provide frame mounts for the back of the cab.
If you want to know another awesome idea,that won't be cheap,here ya go!

How about an S10 truck body? They look tough on a K/5 frame. The truck belongs to board member Tink. You could run tall skinnies and the track wouldn't be so wide:

you need the rear mounts off of the pickup frame, but everything foward should be the same.
