'72 Jimmy- estimated value advice - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Looks like it is in pretty good shape. Nice and original. I'd guess in the $6-7K range also. Minimum of $5K if the rust is worse than the pictures show.

Did it originally have the lower body trim? If it were a Blazer of that level, it most likely would - I'm not sure about Jimmy's though.

I would have thought so too. The owner said it did not before the paint so not sure. I know I'd probably add it. My guess is it must have since it has the tailgate band.

I would have replied with quite a bit less than others so far. It does need lower trim.Very decent start on driver or resto. but in my opinion all that adds up fast. Seat covers redone sometime. They need scroll to be original. Not cutting it down, would love to have it for right price like everyone else!! Take trades for some 68 sheet metal?

You're thinking like I am. Probably why I'm a little hesitant and looking for opinions. I actually found everything to complete my '68 close by a couple of weeks ago! Check this thread for details.

Hard to tell from the picture how much that floor is rusted. Mine looked like that with the carpet in it. When I got into it, it needed a lot more work.

I'm thinking the $3K - $4K range.

I didn't take a magnet to it yet but I did crawl underneath and felt way up on the quarters. No dents. He said it was incredibly straight when he got it before the paint and I believe him. He didn't do the body or paint work. He actually traded it to a guy and then bought it back from him after the paint was done.

I pulled up the carpet some in the rear and did notice some slight surface rust around the wheel wells but should clean up easy. Floor looked very nice with shiney original blue paint other wise. The pic of the driver kick panel makes the floor look bad there but it is solid. Most of what is in the pic is residue from the kick panel.

The doors do need some work. The more I think about it, looks like they sandblasted the rust but didn't fill or add any metal after that. Mainly that pic of the kickpanel with the door corner in the background looks just like rust that has been blasted away.
