Bought me a jimmy! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hoffman65burb · 10-10-2009, 04:06 PM

Well, today just went out and took a look at this jimmy.. LOVED it.

its a 454 with a 4 speed, has a low 1st gear then a 1 st gear, man that thing should crawl over anyhting. Body and interior mint cept drivers seat. Way to excited

, pickin her up on monday,

Will post more pictures

bluex · 10-11-2009, 05:53 AM

Looks pretty nice, and I love the colors.

Post up some more pics when you get it, and enjoy it. Too bad its probably too cold up there for some riding with the top off.

I want to do mine blue/white too. Never seen the two tone with a white hood. I'm thinking of painting it myself with the summit racing brand paint. I figure if I mess it up, I'll just sand it off!

tvblazer78 · 10-12-2009, 01:18 PM

Sweet I like it!! Any motor pics?

Hoffman65burb · 10-12-2009, 03:16 PM

Awaiting its arrival, hes delvering it tomarrow!! The motor sounds to have a cam, it has headers an duel glasspacks!

Hoffman65burb · 10-13-2009, 09:49 PM

sorry for the blur, just took them, abit dark

tvblazer78 · 10-15-2009, 03:58 PM

That's a good lookin Blazer.

Conundrum · 10-16-2009, 04:44 PM

I second that!

1Ton · 10-16-2009, 04:47 PM

Nice Jimmy!!

Hoffman65burb · 10-16-2009, 08:45 PM

Thanks, im way to excited to get it on the road. One of the rear brakelines need to be replaced, but the weather has just been so crappy, rain or shine ill get her done tomarrow.

Hoffman65burb · 10-16-2009, 09:24 PM

Conundrum · 10-16-2009, 09:50 PM

Do you know how much of a lift it's got?

Hoffman65burb · 10-16-2009, 09:57 PM

4 inch

Conundrum · 10-16-2009, 10:03 PM

Cool, I was thinking about getting a 4 inch lift and now I know it looks right. Thanks and it's a sweet truck, wish mine had a big block.

Driveway Dreams · 10-18-2009, 07:13 PM

That settles it! I will have to get a 4x4 Blazer/Jimmy next. I will also get a round eye, and I think the 4" lift is perfect for it. What a beautiful start to a nice vehicle.

Hoffman65burb · 10-24-2009, 08:47 PM

Got her on the road

went topless today too

Hoffman65burb · 11-18-2009, 06:38 PM

Little update. Put 2 inch blocks front and rear, new steering stabalizer, got a set of 37 inch good year MTR's on 10 inc wide rims for 200 bucks!!!!! Will add some more pictures when im at home later!

87 dually burb · 11-18-2009, 07:29 PM

nice blazer but I would never put blocks in front
do a 3" body lift

Hoffman65burb · 11-18-2009, 09:21 PM

Thought about it with the mechanic i work with, definatly would rather blocks than body, Just need to finish welding them in. This is only temporary till i can afford 1 ton axles.

cochino12 · 11-18-2009, 09:52 PM

Nice Jimmy. Blocks up front are a bad idea though.

Hoffman65burb · 05-23-2010, 04:19 PM

After making the mistake for trading her for a 5.0 mustang. Got a few tickets, pissed a few people off, so I thought it was time to ditch the 5.0 and get back into a truck. To my surprise she was forsale. Bought her back, couldent be happier. Will never make this mistake again.

Took her up camping, best truck ive owned for camping. Built a bed and hit the logging road! Not alot of room but very comfortable

*slurp slurp*

GmtGmt · 05-23-2010, 06:06 PM

Awesome looking Jimmy

my next project wil eigther be a K5 or Suburban 4x4 just need to find the right one for the right price

tvblazer78 · 05-24-2010, 09:33 AM

Very cool! Happy that it all worked out!

blu-by-u-2 · 05-24-2010, 10:26 PM

Can't really do that stuff in a mustang, Although in a mustang, you could take a nap broke down on the side of the road. ha,ha,

Hoffman65burb · 06-18-2010, 04:31 AM

Thanks, well her's a little update, basically just enjoying her, cleaned her up, put some new 33's on, new seats out of a newer burban, and sound system. Lovin it.

*87 chevy silverado* · 06-18-2010, 02:21 PM
