My Build Thread (year+) on 71 Jimmy 4x4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The reason the back-up camera isnt installed yet is because I decided to cut the overhangs off the rear bumper so they wouldnt snag on rocks - and since i always get carried away it seems like - i decided to skin it out with 16 gauge to match the "look" of the front warn bumper.

AS you can see it isnt done yet - but after grinding and paint I will post the end result.

She was officially started for the first time since last summer yesterday - as we adjusted the timing on the Distributor. It sounds gooooood - (no mufflers yet haha).

As soon as I finish the master/booster install and brake bleed she can go down the road for a test drive.

Not to mention I get alot of help from a buddy on the weekends and it makes alot of things more than 2x as fast as without help.
