Found myself a 72 Jimmy!

[parb]

Hi all,

Wanted to introduce myself. I used to have an 80's Jimmy. Lately I've been on the lookout for a nice, stock and relatively cancer free 70s Jimmy.

Found one on Craigslist a few weeks ago. 80,000 original miles, father passed away and son inherited it in the 90's and kept her mostly garaged (son was in his 50s when he inherited it). Son was a mechanic and kept her in good shape as a memory of dad. Now he is getting really old and no one one family wanted the truck. I'll look after it.

I just had the steering, brakes, engine, transmission, axles and driveshaft inspected and repaired where needed. Mostly okay, a few minor issues here and there. She drives really well. Have a bit of work with the ac (door to heat exchanger is stuck).

Next is fixing body and paint followed by trim and interior.
Going to keep her as close to stock as I can. Keeping stock color and no lift etc.

Here's a picture from a few days ago.
