NY 1971 Jimmy/Blazer parts truck/restoration candidate

[JimmyFloyd]

Ok, I am moving soon and can't take my truck with me, as I won't be buying a house right away and have no place to keep it and the new job will keep me busier than before (and I was busy before.)

The truck is a combination of a 1970 Blazer and a 1971 Jimmy. If titled, it would be a 1971 Jimmy, since that's the one with the VIN plate. I have the title (transferable registration) for both trucks, the 71 matching the VIN plate, and the 70 matching the frame. If your state only needs a frame VIN, you could make two trucks potentially.

Frame is in nice shape. front half has been redone Axles are 3:73 open, and have been cleaned up some, and new brakes put on. The front is a D44 with disc brakes, and the rear is a 12 bolt drum. It has nice tires on 73+ rally rims.

Body is in decent shape. PO started the body work and never quite finished. His welds are ok, but he didn't dress them well. There are some spots that could be redone if you are going show restoration. The firewall is solid, including the ends. The windshield frame has a couple pin holes and upper corner rust on the front, but I have two others that have good parts to replace those sections. It isn't that bad on it, but should be noted. Dash is NOT cut. Correct floor hump is there too. Front floors have been replaced. Some pieces were made by him, so they are exactly like originals, but look decent. There are some pin holes under the driver's seat. The Rocker boxes are long gone. The rear quarters have had the lower front and rear patches done. They are welded on, and then covered in a lot of filler. It would need to be sanded off and redone, as I don't think he blocked it off. The rear bed floor has been patched with plate steel in a couple spots, and some of the cross bars supports have rusted through. I have most of the bed floor from a 72 blazer from Cali that is rust free and has all the parts and cross bars needed to fix the floor. They also include provisions for a rear seat, which the original never had. The rear tubs are nice. I have a GMC tail gate that is pretty straight with just a couple small pin holes in it on the bottom.

The top is a double wall in OK shape. Usable for a driver, but will need some fiberglass repair on the edges. i have a rear hatch off a singlewall top that has all the hardware and is in good shape for a top. it has some small hairline cracks that would need attention to be perfect, but usable as is. I also have 2 spare rear windows for the hatches.

Motor is a 350 from a 70 impala/caprice and has been redone by the PO. Holley intake and edelbrock intake on it. It ran great when I bought the truck and I drove it on and off the trailer and into the garage under it's own power, but removed all the wiring to redo it, and haven't got it redone. It has an HEI too. I have about a dozen wiring harnesses that will go with it too, so you should be able to make of find a nice one in the bunch. There is no gas tank installed currently. I have a new one for it, as well as the hard to find pre-bent front to back gas line (used, but nice shape.) The transmission is a SM465 with a new 12" clutch. The transfercase is a NP205 and worked fine.

i have a Chevy and a GMC front end for it. They both need some work, mainly in the fender cups, and the grills are in driver condition. There is a chevy core support on it that has been redone, and I have a GMC one that needs work on the bottom outer edges.

I would like to try and get $1900 for everything. I also have boxes of parts for it that go with it, and I have some parts that can be purchased with it. I would consider separating the motor, trans, wheels from it. Would have to be picked up in 13790. I want to try and move it ASAP, so price is negotiable the faster you can get it.
