My Dad bought a '72 Jimmy in about 74, he kept it till about '92, and then gave it to me. I put quite a bit of work into it, power steering, h.e.i., put in a back seat, fixed the gas tank, etc-but it was so rusty I sorta gave up on it a few years later and sold it. I've always regretted selling it,but I gained a new appreciattion for these trucks, maybe it was the styling, or the basic rugged easy to work on mechanicals that really appealled to me, anyway they get into your system and I guess I'm hooked. Hell, even my wife notices these trucks now, she'll spot one when we're out and say, "Lew, theres a truck!" I just grin when she does that....
