Cool, got any pics of the option sheet? Does the speedo happen to be in kilometers?

Trifelynn · 04-07-2005, 09:20 AM

I don't know what is wrong...but I have yet to see any pics

Anyways, if anyone can help, I can congratulate this man on all his work in a place that doesn't seem to support the car enthusiast very much

Your wish is my command

The speedo is in mph

**raggedjim** · 04-07-2005, 04:36 PM

Modmach, you have got to be the coolest guy in Norway, having a 2wd jimmy will help! But I'm a little biased... since I have one!

Good luck, Rg

I agree.

modmach1 · 04-07-2005, 05:29 PM

Thanks raggedjim and audioholic

A picture of how it looked inside before i took the top of

These rocker panels was in the deal !

Some memories of when it was in America

More memories

Is this a double wall top or a single wall? Whats the difference?

71jimmy · 04-07-2005, 05:40 PM

That would be single wall top. It has the electrical hook up for two lites in the top. The double wall top does not have lites. Double wall top actually has an inner skin. Double wall is supposed to insulate better from the weather.

I have a double wall on my 71 Jimmy, and here in sunny

California you don't really need the extra insullation but in cold Norway it would come in handy. How about a trade?

If you swim half way, I'll swim half way and meet ya in the middle.

modmach1 · 05-11-2005, 04:17 AM

Sold yesterday for $ 840

Trifelynn · 05-11-2005, 08:16 AM

you sold the Jimmy?

Big-Bronco · 05-16-2005, 09:43 AM

Hey all of You!
Yes, he sold it to me.
I'm also from Norway, but I lives about 80 (Norwegian miles) from him.
There goes 10.000 meters in one mile.
I have only seen a picture of it, but it seem to have a potential in it.
I had a 1968 GMC step-side for several years ago, and was stupid enough to sell it

,. Do You think I reagret that sales

??.

I hope I can lean on You guys from time to time with questions I know will appear as I start working on it.
Will try to give You som pictures from my progress.
Have a nice day.

Thor

**raggedjim** · 05-16-2005, 12:48 PM

Thor, good luck, I would love to find a deal like that here!

Rg

Big-Bronco · 05-17-2005, 07:47 AM

Thank You, Roger.
I will keep this Jimmy with 4 wheel drive, not 2 wheel drive.
Think I'm going too sell my daily drive, my Bronco and use these money in the GMC. But my problem is that I'm so pleased with the Bronco as well. All equipment + Pioneer AVIC-X1 (navigation, dvd, 4 channel tv, and so on).
My first step will be to bring the GMC home, and get it inside.
Strip it down and start with the frame.
I'll post some pictures later.
