Jimmy question
My dad works with a fella that says he has a Jimmy that doesn't have a removable top. Didn't know they made them that way, and was wondering what you all knew about this.
Thanks.

Re: Jimmy question
All 70-75 Jimmy's had full removable tops. 76 went to the half top.
I've heard quite a few people referring to GMC pickup trucks as a Jimmy. It could be a prototype or later Dodge Ramchargers had a fixed roof and they look a lot like a Blazer/Jimmy.

Re: Jimmy question
You're right. I think they did make S10 Jimmys in both 2 & 4 door. That would have a fixed roof. I forget about those. I don't consider them a "real" blazer.

 i totally agree on the real blazer/jimmy...would be kinda cool to turn into a beater for the trails, but i think they had ifs. Im sure that could be fixed

Re: Jimmy question
Someone probably grafted a truck cab top to one.

Re: Jimmy question
