One mile == change of heart - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

stingray72 · 07-15-2006, 12:51 PM

I got out in the garage this morning and was tinkering around and decided to put the front end of my Jimmy back together. My radiator had an unrepairable (word?) leak and I had gotten a new one just not put it in. I also had the grill and bumper off to change the grill but decided against it. Also decided to put a transmission cooler on it since I damaged the tranny cooling lines while removing the old radiator. Anyways.. everything started to go back on this morning and now at noon or so I'm finished and drove her around the block. I had considered selling it and thinning out the heard... but it only took about a mile for me to reconsider that.. Amazing. 1 mile in 3 months is all it takes to change my mind.

Anyways.. here she is in all her filthy glory

If you decide to part it out, I'd like the buckets, doors, and grill. PM me if interested....

Great looking ride. I could never part with my '67.... unless someone offered me enough $$$ to buy 4 or 5 more "nice" ones!

How about a picture of me pissed off pushing it in a lake?? It's got a battery drain now that I've got to diagnose... Ugh.. why can't I just be able to drive the damn thing for a week.. that's all I ask. sheesh...

**Yukon Jack** · 07-19-2006, 09:29 AM

You'd be a fool to get rid of that! Looks sweet and has to be a blast to drive. Good luck finding the drain, they can be a pain in the butt to locate.

**BOSS** · 07-19-2006, 06:08 PM
