Re: 1970 jimmy tear down and rebuild has started
Looks like the frame is to bad to fix. Tow hook bolt won't come out cant get a wrench on it will have to burn it off.

Re: 1970 jimmy tear down and rebuild has started
MCame from Portland Oregon four wheel camper was put on in 1980.
Was still in the original owner family. All I have done to it is put the original seats back in it and a new dash pad and a master cylinder. Has rust on fire wall and left rocker back end has no rust.

Re: 1970 jimmy tear down and rebuild has started
That’s crazy! Can’t believe how bent and twisted it is.

Re: 1970 jimmy tear down and rebuild has started
Just an FYI, you can recoup so of your money on the twisted frame. People are always looking for spring hangers in good shape, to either replace what they have or convert to 2wd.
