Re: Remember My '85 Jimmy Diesel?

The top was for sale for $300 and the vinyl still looked new. As usual, I went to the swap meet really broke, but had money to spend by the end. I told Billy don't drop the price, I'd buy it for that price if no one else did (or once I had it). I walked over one time and a guy had it, talking to his friend he thought might want it. He was saying it would have to be dyed or new top made. They needed black. I think that's who ended up buying it. So, even the poor top got violated . $300 for the frame/hardware and a pattern doesn't seem like a good deal. I imagine he'll have the cost of a new one in it by the time he's done. I had no need for it, except to pass it on to someone here.

John, glad to hear it's coming along. I want another. My older son had an '86 military Blazer that I told him I wanted to buy if he got rid of it. He hadn't driven it in a few years. He had the trans rebuilt and it was still shifting on the governor. He doesn't mess with much and never brought it over for me to check out. I wanted him to leave it here for me to go over for him. I found out about a month ago he needed money and sold it to this guy down by where he lives for $800! I have 1t axles, spare 6.2 parts, etc.
