Re: 1970 jimmy tear down and rebuild has started
Looks like the frame is to bad to fix. Tow hook bolt won't come out cant get a wrench on it will have to burn it off.

Re: 1970 jimmy tear down and rebuild has started
MCame from Portland Oregon four wheel camper was put on in 1980.
Was still in the original owner family. All I have done to it is put the original seats back in it and a new dash pad and a master cylinder. Has rust on fire wall and left rocker back end has no rust.

Re: 1970 jimmy tear down and rebuild has started
Nice. Looks scary with the body up like that. Probably feel pretty good to get it back on it's foundation.

Re: 1970 jimmy tear down and rebuild has started
Finally back on the frame ready for the body shop to see how much the body got twisted.

If the body bolts lined up with the new different frames mounting locations, then it should be pretty close. You may have to shim the mounts to get good door gaps.
