I'm thinking it was wrecked at some point. Not sure why they kept the 76 vin on the cab but swapped in all of the 79 parts. They also took the time to transfer the '76 vin on the registration, but they still called it a 79 chevy instead of a 76 Jimmy. I just hope I can find the frame vin. If that's not '79 I'm going to be REALLY confused.

I'd check it out more,it don't look like a Jimmy....that would get you pulled over
I figured between the conversion etc ,parts changed I was happy with it
I'm glad we never crossed it over to the US
I drove mine for 10 years before i found out here
Police said i'd never been pulled over in it
if it was on the street....towed impounded $$$$$
