Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
Great job Pat! Cup holder looks slick. Thanks for the build thread. Can I have the step side?

Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
Really nice work.
I have the Chevy twin to this K5 in storage. White / Blue CST. You're motivating me to get it out of storage and get to work on it when I return to San Diego. |

Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
I bought this about 10 years ago from the original owner in Arizona. I got it running and driving real good, now it's time for the cosmetics. I will get to it when I retire next summer.

Not many options for cup holders for these old trucks, so I just made something up. Actually, it works pretty darn good. Pat |

Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
Pretty much completed!
Also noticed the starting instruction while installing my sun visors. I would think this must be original...???? Pat |

Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
Congrats on a job well done. Yep that’s the GM engine start decal found on 72 model trucks. What’s the next project?

Wow, you did a great job on this rig. Thanks for sharing it in a build thread. Have you got threads going on your other projects? I would enjoy looking in.

Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
Glad you got the 62 back. What an ordeal that must have been. I was actually wondering about what precautions I’d take to prevent theft if I do a trip in my Blazer after reading about your hunting trip. In Albuquerque I’d never let my trucks out of sight even with an anti-start Bosch relay setup.

Problem is....even where I live, I really don't feel comfortable leaving it in any parking lot. I can't take it down to the bike trail parking lots, but I do feel pretty good about taking it to the gym. Absolutely sucks that we have to worry so much about the frigging thieves! Pat |

Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
Good luck with the sale. It’s a great K5 and hope it finds a good new home.
