Angelse68cal · 10-05-2007, 01:12 PM

Well I finally got around to posting a pic of my 1972 Jimmy in the first pic and in the second pic is the piece I am looking for of a bed you all are junking or cutting up.

bouncytruck · 10-05-2007, 02:21 PM

Looks fairly solid. Nice shiny rims! Are those factory tow hooks?

Angelse68cal · 10-05-2007, 02:25 PM

As far as I know they are

Nice looking jimmy! After blowing your picture up, those do look to be Factory 72 Only Extreme Bend Type Tow Hook's, were they already on your jimmy when you got it? The below pic. is a close up of my 72 K/5 with Eb's so you can verify for sure your self. Cb

It is my understanding that there are three styles for our era, the pre 1969 style, 1969 - 1972, and 1972 only. The middle style was used into 1972 for a while. That is one of the reasons the 1972 only's are so hard to find, they weren't used in the beginning of the year.

Angelse68cal · 10-05-2007, 06:42 PM

Yes they are the original Tow Hooks I got it like that when I bought it from my uncle. It sat for like 7-8 yrs and I got it and put a 8 inch lift all spring and shackle flip on it also up graded the front rear spring Hangers From ORD. The Tires are 35 15.50 15 TSL Super swampers

Angelse68cal · 10-05-2007, 06:53 PM

Here is a closer pic of the Tow hook.

LUV2XCLR8 · 10-05-2007, 03:43 PM

Nice Blingers

tucsonbroker · 10-05-2007, 03:55 PM

Are those Mickey thompson tires? What size? They look great!

Jerry Jones · 10-05-2007, 03:59 PM

nice!

NorCalTank · 10-05-2007, 04:46 PM

The tires look like swamper radials, 35's?

**special-K** · 10-05-2007, 05:47 PM

Nice to see a Jimmy.That piece should turn up quick for ya.

71swb4x4 · 10-05-2007, 07:55 PM

I'm an idiot. I read Cb's post to say they didn't look like the 72 hooks.

70gmcjimmy · 10-05-2007, 08:01 PM

Cool Jimmy project. That bedside piece can be cut from a pickup box, Chevy or GMC, as long as you are just repairing the damaged area, it does not have to be from a Jimmy only.

Have fun with it---DAC

Southedisto · 10-05-2007, 09:26 PM

I'm in love

4 headlights ROCK!!!

Chevyman63 · 10-05-2007, 09:33 PM

I may be able to help you out with a piece of the rear quarter that you need. Let me know if you actually need this piece or not.
Thanks.

1969k10stepside · 10-05-2007, 10:40 PM

Nice Jimmy and tow hooks!! Looks like you've got a 350 Banshee there too,them are fun!!

I'll trade you that piece of the rear quarter you need for them tow hooks!

Angelse68cal · 10-05-2007, 10:54 PM

Yes I need that piece if anyone wants to be DR. Donor.

Yes I love 4 lights also and to me it seams here in So cal Jimmy 4x4 's are more rare of a find than the K5 CST Blazer 4x4. And I cant let them Tow Hooks go like that.

Angelse68cal · 10-05-2007, 10:56 PM

My Wife wants to know if you guys can Photo shop the Jimmy and Put a nice Blue on it So I can see what it will look like painted is what her request was to me. LOL Gotta Love them Women.

I like the paint just like it is, shiny wheels make the truck look a whole lot better, tell her it's patina

I haven't pulled my tub yet, but I could cut that part out. It looks like you need just the outer portion, not the inside post, right? It may be a week or two before I can get to it, would that work?
If Kurt (VT) has it ready to go, that's cool.
Let me know.
