OrangeK5, is that one of your trucks. That thing is awesome! Thanks for all the research. That is pretty cool. I think my half might be missing the latches....

Beautiful color too - a nice bonus for a rare bird.

Re: Just bought 1972 Jimmy Half Cab

Where would be a good/best place to get body panels? The Jimmy is kinda making my '72 Blazer look a little shabby in the driveway. She needs a small amount of body work and a tailgate, rocker boxes, etc... She is good mechanically.

I'm also thinking about trying to add AC to the Jimmy since it is an AC truck but I'd be adding it to 402 big block instead of a 302. Where is the best place to get stuff like that?

Yes that's my Jimmy. I don't have the latches either.

Yours looks like it is in great shape. What do you think she is worth? I'm worried that mine might be to good for me to keep & abuse but I do kinda love this truck...

IDK. I paid over 5K for mine 12 years ago so what ever someone is willing to pay. these trucks are also priced based on where they are located.

Re: Just bought 1972 Jimmy Half Cab

I had one that someone grafted together form a full top. Didn't have space for it so sold it and kept my full top. It didn't have the divider bulkhead but a guy paid 250 bucks for it. I found it at a junkyard for 10 bucks. They are it there but getting yards to find. No one really wants to give them up. I needed the space for my kids to go wheeling with me so I didn't keep it.
