Duraburb · 09-19-2019, 02:42 PM

Picked this beat up 69 Jimmy up over in Redding a few months ago, figured i'd show some progress pics along the way.

**Warrens69GMC** · 09-19-2019, 02:47 PM

ok. Cool. More pictures?

Duraburb · 09-19-2019, 03:06 PM

A few along the way. Body off the frame. rear C-notch and bag mounts built, 2wd front crossmember swapped in

Duraburb · 09-19-2019, 03:13 PM

Few of the body coming off, front crossmember swap, rear c-notch and bag mounts

Duraburb · 09-19-2019, 03:15 PM

Few more

Duraburb · 09-19-2019, 03:21 PM

Few more, hammering away at it

Duraburb · 09-19-2019, 03:22 PM

About where it sits currently

Duraburb · 09-19-2019, 03:24 PM

So this is about the point I'm currently at. 2wd conversion is all done, has a 79 c10 front crossmember, 350, 700r4, 12 bolt truck rear with Impala disc setup, 65 Mustang gas tank, Porterbuilt Cowl mounted gas assist hood hinges, new floor for the body drop. About to pull the body back off to button a few things up, then on to body work and some custom interior sheetmetal touches

Duraburb · 09-30-2019, 07:18 PM

Little more busted out on the Jimmy over the weekend. Got the new rear skin bent up and welded in place, and frenched in some 95 Cadillac Deville taillights

**Warrens69GMC** · 09-30-2019, 09:30 PM

Coming along

YBNORML · 09-30-2019, 09:42 PM

Little progress on the Jimmy. Got the underside cleaned up and sprayed with bedliner, got the firewall cleaned up and painted, body back on the frame for the final time, and started the gauge panel on the new dash

Duraburb · 02-13-2020, 11:55 AM

Getting the bodywork all buttoned up, in first prime now. Paint coming soon!

**raggedjim** · 02-13-2020, 12:50 PM

You ain't wasting no time!

Great work, Rg

Little more progress, runs and drives now. Buttoning up a few things then going to put the hardtop on and start on the interior
