GMC Jimmy

This is my '72 GMC Jimmy. It's completely original, save for some minor engine modifications. It lives with me in Missoula MT. The pic' with the snow was on a recent trip down to Moab Utah, a popular off-road area.

This is my second Jimmy and my sixth GM 4X4. It has a 350 V-8, Eldebrock 4-bbl carb and aluminum intake, 4-speed trans with granny low gear, posi-trac rear differential and Blackjack headers

Standard motor is a 250 ci (4.1L) inline six. This one came with the optional 350ci (5.7L) V-8 and 4Bbl carb'. Transmissions are 3-speed manual, 3-speed automatic and 4-speed manual wide-ratio. The top, as you can see, is removable and reveals a relatively comfortable interior, no spraying off the dash with a garden hose!
The drive-train is simply that of a Chevrolet / GMC 1/2 ton truck, as is most of the body, and is interchangable for a wide range of years. Other popular options are: power steering, power brakes Discs in front after 1971, air conditioning, positrac axles from 4.11-3.00 to 1 ratios, towing packages, high altitude packages, hot climate packages, AM/FM 8-Track players. Back in the "good old days" you would order a vehicle from the factory using a checklist for options, paint / interior colors and drive-trains. As a result many American vehicles from that era are quite unique. Today options are much more bundled. If, say, you want a sunroof, you must also get the V-6, auto' trans and air conditioning ... but auto companies have been telling us what we want to drive for quite some time now.
