Pretty much completed!

Also noticed the starting instruction while installing my sun visors. I would think this must be original...????

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

Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
 

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.

Have to finish up the '63 Corvette (roadster). Just finished up the cut and buffing, and now onto final assembly. Then it will be the '72 GMC stepside (4WD).

I have the '63 Corvette going on in the Corvette Forum, and about a 5 year old build where I did my '62 Corvette. This after it was recovered from being stolen in Monterey California. You can google '62 Corvette stolen in Monterey, and it will still come up.

Thanks for the positive comments!

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.

Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
 

Fortunately, the only time I had to worry was staying in hotels going to, and coming from hunting camp. Once at the location, which is way back in through a couple locked gates, I didn't have to worry about it at all.

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!

Great looking Jimmy.

Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
 

Good luck with the sale. It’s a great K5 and hope it finds a good new home.

Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
 

Thanks for the encouragement! A tough decision, but I need to start selling a few things!
