Re: Here ya go Gentleman Jim

Cool in a funky way, not surprised his son changed his mind though, that's definitely strong tea. Am I the only one whose OCD tics kick into high gear over those reproduction grills? They look like a face without a nose to me.

Yea, those aftermarket grills without the bowties look really weird to me as well. I hope the aftermarket will get the licensing to make them with the bowties.

Also, did they make shortbed factory gentlemen Jim trucks? All the ones I have seen are longbeds...

That interior reminds me of the Travolta fever Trans Am

This truck is a "tribute" to a Gentleman Jim just like his ad says.

Gentleman Jim's are all 1975, long bed, 350, TH350 bucket seat, saddle interior etc. See the brochure on Jeff's site: http://www.73-87.com/Special_Editions/Gentleman_Jim.htm
