First car show with the Jimmy

I put my Jimmy in my first car show this past weekend. Had a really good time there. I got a lot of compliments and had several people that asked to get in and take a picture. Had a few people even ask if i cut the cab and added a back seat since i had the top off, haha. Mine was the only one there and the only 4wd there. There was a '72 GMC and a '72 Chevy c/10 there. I do believe that i will be doing that again. I had it all shinned up looking nice then when i left there i took it to some mud races (not to race, just to watch). Well leaving there didn't go quite like i had planned, the only way out was through a little bit of mud. Needless to say, it's not quite as clean anymore but hey, that's why i have 4wd.

Sweet ride! The green with khaki interior is my favorite. Any pictures of the interior?

Re: First car show with the Jimmy

Thanks, it's a 4" pro comp lift with 33x12.50x15 BF Goodwrench all terrain tires. Not sure what brand the wheels are. I have plans in the near future to go with some new polished wheels and i am considering going to 35" tires.

Re: First car show with the Jimmy

From one green goblin to another, that is one sweet ride bro. I'd like to take a look at the mirrors you're rocking. Guessing that's just a difference in GMC & Chevy? The originals on my 71 are really tight, but so small I'm thinking of making a change.
FYI: I don't think your photos showed up from your last post. I'm having issues loading them as well.

Nice! Just need to get rid of those Ford mirrors in favor of some original GM ones.

Re: First car show with the Jimmy

Those mirrors are actually just $20 Oreilly's special. I searched for weeks and couldn't find ones to match what was on there, may have not been factory already, so i found these that fit right on my brackets so I went with them

Try 640x480 resolution for pics. The board is undergoing changes. Nice truck.

I use the windows image resizer. Download the one for your windows version then just right click image to resize. If not using windows download irfanview which has a resizer.
