Up for auction here is my 1972 GMC Jimmy in beautifully frame-off resto mod condition. It is NOT a Blazer converted to a Jimmy, it is an original GMC Jimmy. I am a professional mechanic specializing in high performance modern builds and classic restorations. This truck has been my personal daily driver for the past couple years. Between the previous owner and myself there have been tens of thousands of dollars put into this truck and more parts/labor than I can even remember but I will try and hit the highlights: Power Steering, Power brakes (front discs), HEI Ignition system, YES the truck has working windshield wipers. Sandblasted frame and many parts including the radiator support, axles, brackets, emergency brake, gas/brake pedal assemblies, trays and ....... ( well over 40hrs of sandblasting alone) Anti corrosion coating on axles, frame, radiator core support ( Many people use Por 15 but it looks terrible to me. I went instead with a more labor intense multi stage system for the glossy look you see in the pics and tough as nails protection) Axles, frame, steering column refinished in gloss black urethane Bedliner interior for easy cleaning or can have a carpet kit installed (kit usually runs around $400) bedliner also serves as a sound deadening material. Engine is a GM Crate 350 with approximately 45k miles. Received all new gaskets, seals, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, engine enamel, fluids and filters less than 100 miles ago. Edelbrock 650cfm carb w/ electric choke, Edelbrock Torker II intake manifold New rubber fuel lines Custom fuel fill neck Edelbrock valve covers, air cleaner, chrome timing cover Transmission was rebuilt by previous owner approximately 40k miles ago. New chrome GMC front grill, bezels and trim, mirrors, exterior door handles, locks, bumpers (front bumpers a Chevy bumper for additional lighting options) Shaved trim, antenna, fuel fill neck, badges for a unique clean look 4" Rough Country front and rear leaf spring lift kit with 4 N20 gas shocks (not the cheap block kit that most Blazer owners install) New steering link assembly with custom raised steering arm for proper operation with the lift kit. New brake hoses with custom drop brackets. 5 Star 15" wheels with 32 x 12.5 Mudders Custom stereo system with CD and MP3, Phone, Aux In + more....... Listen to your own tunes from your personal device! New windshield rubber New Dash pad New interior window cranks, levers, rubber arm rests Newly refinished top both inside and out Custom T-case shift knob Custom wood steering wheel New glove box insert New battery Original 1972 seating with front buckets and rear bench in vinyl. Can use recovering at $600-$760 for skins on average to make the seats look like the ones in the photo outside the truck. Custom headers and dual exhaust with chrome turn downs Rock guard coated wheel wells New front and rear corner markers, rear tail lenses Paint is Gloss Black single stage for a DEEP shiny black that only single stage can produce! There are so many parts and countless hours of fabrication, bodywork, mechanical work and so on that it would take far too long to list. I spent a few hundred dollars on nuts, bolts and fasteners alone! The build is nearly 100% complete for me. What is left is basically personal comfort options in my opinion like seating upholstery and so on. I have ordered a new weather stripping kit for the truck and new sweeps for the door glass. As for the paint it is beautiful but not perfect, yet you have to be right up on the truck to see any of the small imperfections. The truck is an original A/C truck but I have not bothered to restore the system although the heater works great. Personally I never had a need for A/C being that I always drove the truck topless. A new A/C system runs around $1,200. I have new turn signal lenses for the front grill and I did not order the front bumper lights since they can be used as day time running lights, off road lighting or fog lights. I figured the new owner could install what they wanted, any of those three can be done for under $300. Suffice it to say, this build is very clean, very costly and it is highly unlikely that you'll see another frame off like it on ebay for a long time. Actual frame off Blazers/Jimmys are EXTREMELY rare, most just say "fully restored" or something obscure like that. Of course that is not at all comparable to a frame-off restoration. The last Blazer/Jimmy that was comparable sold through Mecum Auctions for $40,000 last year and wasn't as clean as this one. Frame off Blazers and Jimmys tend to go for over $40k over the past year so this is a VERY rare opportunity at this price. I know I have just given a brief description here so if you would like more information please feel free to contact me, Dave at 775-338-3300. At this price I cannot include anything more than what is listed however if you want something done like the seats refinished, carpet installed, A/C or fuel injection installed please contact me for pricing and more details! The truck is for sale both locally and nationally and therefore I reserve the right to end this auction at any time. The description is for informational purposes and does not replace personal inspections. The truck is sold as-is and no concessions will be made at time of pick up or delivery so please do your due diligence prior to bidding.
