Ok Been a truck guy now i am a Jimmy guy??
I have owned and played with the 67-72 trucks forever, this is my first Jimmy/Blazer and my first GMC. I am finding quite a bit of things that are just different. What are the main things that are different from a C-10 and what about the differances between the jimmy and the blazer? Do they call the jimmy a k series??
Thanks Vance |

Re: Ok Been a truck guy now i am a Jimmy guy??
The main difference between a C-10 and a Jimmy/Blazer is that the bed it integrated into the driver's cabin.
Main differences between c-10 and truck - 1. body 2. length 3. removable top 4. seats 4 (if you have a back seat) Main difference between a Jimmy & Blazer 1. front clip (grill, fenders, headlights, bumper, etc) 2. says "GMC" on the tailgate Now, onto the pictures please...

Looks clean, thanks for the pics. I think you got a good deal.
Pretty sure the cruise is aftermarket. You could swap the front clips. Fenders, radiator supports, and grills are different. Do you not like the GMC look? |

You'll need that heat soon enough.
There is a vacuum operated valve on the passenger fender that should shut the heat off. Does the fan shut off? I am still working on my heat/AC |

Nice truck and it sounds like you got a good deal.
I have to say, though, that you haven't had the full experience until you cruise around with that top off. |

Vance.. I do not think the hood ornament is origonal equipment..that looks to be off of a 73-75 truck. All 4X4's were "K" series.. pickups, Blazers,and Jimmys.. Yes the front clips interchange between trucks, Blazers and Jimmys Last edited by Livrat; 09-11-2009 at 11:41 PM. |
