Asking for your opinion...on buying a 1970 Jimmy
Here is the run down...(taken from the previous owner's description - not mine)
BODY Has been painted once Floors and rear wheel wells are excellent originals with no rot Needs front fenders (used cost approx. $100 each) Right front wheel well is rotted under battery (used: $75) Needs doors (used: $100 – 125 each) Needs tailgate (used: $150) Needs panel over windshield (LMC Truck $100) Bumpers, grille and glass are nice Has some rust around rear wheel openings Left front rocker was installed when I got the truck Right front rocker (shown in photo) goes with truck for you to install INTERIOR Has all original upholstery Dash pad is cracked Needs seat covers and door panels (LMC Truck kit $300) Has Kenwood AM/FM cassette Has aftermarket tach All gauges, heater and wipers work good ENGINE & TRANS Has built 350 Has Crane 290 cam and lifters Has aluma-coated headers and full dual exhaust Has Edelbrock carb and intake Has H.E.I. distributor and Accell Super Coil I gave it a full tune-up and oil change I installed new thermostat and flushed cooling system Has new belts Has top loader 4 speed transmission Has new Interstate battery DRIVE TRAIN Has 205 Gear drive transfer case Has 12 bolt rears I installed new brakes and wheel cylinders all way around I installed new master cylinder and changed to DOT 5 fluid Has new 235/75R15 white letter tires on blasted and painted original wheels Has original hub caps SUMMARY I have worked on this truck to get it mechanically excellent to drive. It runs great; all lights, wipers, etc. work fine and the 4WD will tear a house down. It is not a show truck (see photos) but has a lot of potential. END Previous Owner's description** I am going to check it out over this weekend - what are your thoughts... How tough is it to find used doors, fenders, and a used tailgate...(in somewhat decent shape)? I also see that Goodmark now also stocks the ''over the windshield' repair piece for ~$100 (Goodmark part #4143-495-672) - anybody done this yet? Good or bad experience? Pix |
