Very nice Jimmy on Craigslist - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just drinking coffee this morning and saw this on the Boise Craigslist. This Jimmy only has 66K miles or so they claim. Anyway just wanted to give everyone a heads up in case your in the market for a new Blazer/Jimmy.

What a couple of great looking K5s!
The '72 Jimmy is definitely not all original though. It's a '69 or '70 grille.
I would like to trade that guy a '72 grille since that's all I have come across for my '70 at a half assed decent price!! Obviously the engine has been repainted, but it is still a damm nice looking Jimmy. I dig the aftermarket A/C setup too!

I think the listing is wrong and it is a 69 or 70. Exterior door mirrors, inside door panels and the grille is a 69/70 or is painted like my 69 was. Looks pretty original.

71jimmy · 06-22-2009, 12:49 AM

Yeah, your right. That is a '70 Jimmy from the front grille and non-power brakes. The door reinforcement below the wing window and door panels are pre '72. And of course the motor is the wrong color. Why would you paint a motor with " 66k miles"? Jimmy's came out in '70. Blazer came out in '69.

Still nice looking though.

That second add is a peach too. Does it look like it has a small lift maybe?

John H. · 06-22-2009, 12:54 AM

I know my 69 had the paint above and below the headlights but I am not sure if in 70 too. The 71-72's had more black paint. Also forgot to mention the seats covers and a single scroll in the middle?

I am patiently waiting for my 72 Jimmy which is planned to be at my house next Monday. I bought it from pictures......Anyway, I will posting pics when I get it.

Hey John H, as 71Jimmy said, 1970 was the first year of production for the Jimmy, but when I said it could be a '69 that meant the grille could have come from a pickup, actually a '68 even but the '69 or newer upper grille bar would have to be added.
