73 2wd Jimmy "C514"

[Hertzdaddy]

Hello everyone. I've been lurking a lot and posting a little for a while now and its time to get this build thread started. I bought this Jimmy back in Aug. 08 but through some bad circumstances it didn't get to me until this June. Plans for this build include dropping a 514" Caddy motor in it and fixing it up to be a play toy with maybe some occasional drag racing. I'm not planning on making it a daily driver but it should be able to haul the family to the ice cream parlor on the weekends. It has a mini tub on it now so bigger wheels and tires are planned. Also some caltracs and a posi rear end.

The motor is out right now for some minor work. I'm cleaning up some of the work done to the engine bay too.

Should be a lot of fun when I'm done.
