Re: 1990 Jimmy Daily Driver?

Depends on if you are looking for info on minor issues or more major ones. The variable ratio steering on those trucks were something I wasn't a fan of, but would ot be present if you went a bit older, say 87 or so.

When you look at the truck make sure to stick your head into the rear wheelwell and look forward. there is a "step" in the floor that creates a boxed in corner towards the front of the wheelwell. These trucks tend to rot out there even when solid in other places, and while it doesn't seem like a big deal, the front belts attach nearby... also, just check out the floors well, they tend to rust more than in pickups and suburbans, probably in part due to their more trail-friendly natures and how much more stuff is packed in in the undercarriage per sq inch of floor space....
