Was cruising craigslist early this morning and ran across this 85 Jimmy at a crazy price, listed pretty much in the middle of the night. Went over as fast as I could and now it's mine. Little rust in the drivers rocker and bottom of passenger front fender but very solid otherwise. Gotta fix the transfer case as it sheared off the selector rod flush with the case.

Just about done with my Lift/tires and axle swap. 4 inch rough Country lift with 36 inch Humvee tires with 3/4 ton axles (14FF/10GM). Been a long time in coming. Just need to finish up the brakes and she'll be ready to go. And apparently the wife says I gotta paint those wheels......I don't get it lol :D

Re: How about some pics of "4x4" Blazers, Jimmy's & Burbs?
Wow, you got a nice one. Or did you repaint it? Lift looks good.

Re: How about some pics of "4x4" Blazers, Jimmy's & Burbs?
Thanks Bruiser. She's alright, not beat on like most CUCVs were. But she's got some typical rust issues coming to the surface that need to be addressed. The previous owner replaced the outer rockers and did a repaint. I'll probably start a build thread on it.
I've owned her for about 3 1/2 years now and have used her as my daily driver . I didn't want to deal with the hokeyness that can be GovLiq so I found a guy in Indiana who had already done all the paperwork. She was DRMO'd out of you're neck of the woods at Redstone Arsenal in 2009. But at one point she was out of Camp Perry, Ohio. which helps explain the rust. She's been reliable but things are starting to wear out: Starter, Vacuum pump , both alternators, harmonic balancer. So it's time for some TLC and PM. |

My current project, an '87 V20 Suburban originally from Oregon, now in Maine. Recently swapped a 90 Suburban radiator support and grill. Also swapped in a low mileage tbi350, hydro-boost brake system, sm465, and np205 from an '89 V30 and a dana 60/corp 14 bolt with 4.65 gears and a Detroit locker in the 14 bolt. Also did crossover-steering when the axles were installed.
She's a work in progress, hoping to be a fun little back roads cruiser/mild wheeler. Currently sitting on a 6in lift with 37in Nittos/Toyos on KMD Diesel wheels. I have a 3in body lift and a set of 40s that I am still debating whether I want to install or not. Lots of useful information here! Thanks for sharing! |

...and here is why I spend hours surfing Craigslist.
1990 V-1500 91K original one owner miles. I just drove it 75 MPH with cruise set all the way 25 miles home. some typical kansas rust, but a solid old truck. Gonna do new wheels, level up the sagging rear end and a spruce up and flip it. |
Re: How about some pics of "4x4" Blazers, Jimmy's & Burbs?
I gave that one some consideration. It was up for like a month or so, started at like 4500 or 5k. Looked like I waited too long! Good buy.

Not sure if the pics will load but this is my 87' Bondo Bomber before and after. It's about two gallons is the stuff and a lot more rust. I picked it up cheap and have to turn the motor by hand to a specific position to get the starter to catch. I haven't even unwrapped it since the shaker can paint job.

Re: How about some pics of "4x4" Blazers, Jimmy's & Burbs?
Best thing about it is it is totally smog exempt . . not a concern in AL, of course, heh.
It had a "vegetable oil kit" on it, which I am removing and selling. Prev owner made a huge mess with it. . 40 gal tank of grease in the trunk area was soaked with grease. . I ripped out the carpet . . I have decided that the grease idea is overrated. Requires you to find a restaurant with the right kind of oil who will give or sell cheap to you. Then you have to filter it extremely carefully, and even then I am convinced it can cause serious problems. . needs to be diluted with diesel. . . all that time and trouble and diesel (even here in CA!) is cheap now. . |

Re: How about some pics of "4x4" Blazers, Jimmy's & Burbs?
Just picked up this full Hickey equipped GMC Jimmy. Really stoked to get it! Has a built 454. Going to clean up the interior and under the hood and rock the patina! Originally had Hickey flares and roof rack. I have these to replace them.

Just finished up my rehash of my '87 V20 Suburban. I installed an '89 Suburban core support, Dana 60 front, Corp 14bolt FF rear, sm465 trans with np205 transfer case, and installed a low mileage tbi350. Was very pleased to learn the dand 60 and 14 bolt had 4.56 gears and the 14 bolt also had a Detroit Locker. I also installed crossover steering and a center console for a '99-'06 pickup between the factory buckets. Next step is a little bit of body work and paint. Thinking I will get rid of the hideous rack on top and put a 4" cowl induction hood on as well.
