GMC Jimmy Resto Completed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*rickspickuppart* · 01-19-2005, 05:22 PM

Some of you will remember the resto we started some time back on a blue 72 GMC Jimmy and I said I would post more info and pics on it later, well I finally got off my @ss and posted some pics of it. I posted it in the pictures area of the forum but here is a link to it LINK BEWARE LOTS OF PICS!!

There are few things to do on it still but it is about 99% done

It also makes my truck look really crappy

**Canadian694x4** · 01-19-2005, 08:17 PM

I really like what you did to the frame. Love the Blue Body colour too!!!

Thats an awesome vehicle drooooling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**68 Stepside** · 01-19-2005, 09:14 PM

Absolutely outstanding!! Rear A/C and everything....totally awesome.

**uncle** · 01-19-2005, 09:32 PM

What A/C setup did you use? I like the smooth firewall look. Is it just something you did yourself?

Blue Beard · 01-19-2005, 09:58 PM

Yes, what A/C system did you use.

Now that it's finished are you going to Show,Sell, or Drive it.

Ready for another project?

teamharvey · 01-19-2005, 10:27 PM

Powder coated

I think that got the replies caught up

**CPNE** · 01-20-2005, 10:47 AM

That's more of a customization than a restoration. But regardless, I'm sure your customer is pleased with the outcome as he/she should be.

67ChevyC10Stepside · 01-20-2005, 12:48 PM

I have them but because of a few modifications that need to be done I haven't ever tried to openly sell them.

Mods- one of the locator tabs on the headlight needs to be altered and a relay is needed because on Hi Beam the s/w can't handle the load of 4 H4 bulbs burning at the same time

We tried out one of the Ron Francis headlight relay kits on the Jimmy, it worked alot better than expected and didn't require any harness cutting - I highly recommend the kit.

67ChevyC10Stepside · 01-20-2005, 08:25 PM

where can i get them how much and can you get me a how-to on it? i REALLY REALLY want this mod. how bright are they compared to normal lights?

orangeuavol · 01-20-2005, 08:29 PM

That is amazing.

krue · 01-20-2005, 08:58 PM

**Yukon Jack** · 01-21-2005, 11:22 AM

Do you need a wiring kit for each headlight or does it go inline so one feeds both headlights?
