ParB's 72 Orange Jimmy

Hi all,

I figure I'll post my restoration of my Jimmy right here.
I found the truck on Craigslist September 2017 in Reno, NV.
A friend checked it out and told me it was a solid deal so I bought it over the phone.
It started and ran but first thing I did was taking it to a mechanic to check over the engine, drive train and transmission. All was okay which was surprising to me as the truck had seen minimum use over the last decade. Fresh fluids, spark plugs and other minor items and a new battery was installed. Tires was awful so I put on a new set of tires.

Took her out for a drive and got stranded with a broken fuel pump. Fixed that.
Also replaced the AC compressor which was broken.

Pics of the day I got her attached.
