Re: New to the board and also my first JIMMY!

Congratulations.

That definitely looks like a Utah truck. But I've seen much worse that's been brought back to life. Mine's covered in salt right now because it's been too cold to wash it or really do anything else.

The sliders are pretty rare. The saddle tanks on a Blazer/Jimmy are too, but for the reasons mentioned I would either put the torsion boxes on before the top comes off or find another way to brace the tub - maybe a roll cage.

You really scored on the extra parts. You'll definitely have fun with it.

Hey Thanks I love it I just got it licensed and have been driving it for a week now and love every minute in it. I also got my first thumbs up last night coming home from work, I had a smile from ear to ear all the way after that. About the torsion boxes I will putting them on this summer and hopefully have the rust fixed and have the top off by next summer.
