Re: first time Jimmy owner
Member Asolde has a nice 70 with pics posted here that show the mirrors and a different style air cleaner: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php?p=6154618
Here's a pic supposedly from a 70 K5 350 with 28k miles that shows a heat riser. Maybe 307 motors used a different air cleaner?

Re: first time Jimmy owner
Beautiful truck! I can't believe these 102,000 mile vehicles are out there. My '72 had 113,000 miles on it in 1977 when my dad bought it used! It had 248,000 when I got it from him in '87 and is pushing 350k now.
Enjoy. My own preferences tend toward the "Resto-mod", just be as good a steward as your Uncle regardless! Welcome to the board, and enjoy your truck!

Re: first time Jimmy owner
DAC,
Thanks for posting the pics...that's exactly what I needed to see. Now if I could just find all of that for sale somewhere. I have seen some other pictures of these heat sheids with a back plate that helps secure it. I assume yours has that plate too? Anyway looks like a WTB ad is my best route once I become a premium member and get access. By the way, its great to see pics of the Jimmy back when it was newer. I hope to get some of those from my Uncle and retain some of the history. |

I'm glad you liked the pics and am looking foreward to seeing pics of your Jimmy past, present and future! I see "courtesy light" on your spid, where is that located? I remember a Blazer my cousin had with a light that would come on under the dash when the doors were opened. DAC

Re: first time Jimmy owner
Hey DAC,
Its been a while but I wanted to share some pics of my Jimmy when it was new. 1st one is right after it was picked up from the factory in St.Louis in 1970 and driven to North Dakota on the way back to Washington. 2nd pic is that same winter. Wish I could find a buck that nice! Last pic is just last week after I installed a 4" lift. |

Re: first time Jimmy owner
The a awesome jimmy there. My blazer is the same blue. Not in as nearly as good A shape though. Good job. Blazers should Have came Stock with a four inch lift and 35s. It just looks perfect on these trucks.

The only pic I have of our Jimmy when it was almost new is damaged pretty bad from going through a flood in 1972 and we never even bought another camera for a few years. More pics of yours then and now are always welcome! Quote:

Re: first time Jimmy owner
I'm sure it'll be tough in another twenty years. But for now I can still jump in and go. When I can't jump in ill put in a lift elevator up to My driver seat so it can just pull me up into the seat. Lol
