Re: 1972 GMC Jimmy PENNY
Hey Andrew, his name is Travis, cant miss him, got a few digits missing on his right hand from a lawn mower fight when he was younger. He's a good kid, never met a stranger. He was telling me how cool the Jimmy was....I was like "why didn't you get more pics??". Glad I found the thread.

I cut out the rust on the drivers side bed rail last night, got everything cleaned up and stripped down. Then applied a heavy coat of por-15 to seal it up. Hoping to start on welding in patch panels in the next week or so. Pics to follow

Re: 1972 GMC Jimmy PENNY
We took Penny on a 120 mile round trip down to Pickens, SC for a fall festival this weekend. It was a great day to get out and have the top off. Here is a little pic one of our friends took when they were sitting behind us in traffic, you can tell the dog is content

Re: 1972 GMC Jimmy PENNY
I did get a little something in the mail yesterday. I'm usually not a huge fan of front plates but this on looks right at home. Oh and the temperatures are dropping quick up here so my wife says I need to get the top on the Jimmy ASAP so she can park in the garage. I guess it's time to start making patch panels and finish the bedrails

Re: 1972 GMC Jimmy PENNY
Such a slick Jimmy, Andrew. Like how you're tackling the important things and bringing it back to original with some cool touches.

Re: 1972 GMC Jimmy PENNY
Very nice Jimmy.
What size are your steel rims, and what size tires did you go with? Thanks, Pat |

Re: 1972 GMC Jimmy PENNY
Thank you! The steelies are 15x8s. The tires in these pictures are 31x10.50s but I recently bought a new set of BFGs that are 32s. I’ll post a few photos for you

Re: 1972 GMC Jimmy PENNY
Thanks fellas, it felt good to have some of the cancer treated in this girl. She will get parked outside by the shed for the winter while I dig on the 68 GMC so progress will be slow for a while. Once the GMC sells it will free up some coin to make a dent in the long term list on this one.
Here is a rough idea of what I hope to focus on next: New exhaust setup (still researching what kit to buy but I may just take it to a local shop) New front tires Restore / redo wood tape on all side trim and tailgate band Find a set of tow hooks Install new visors Refresh or replace door panels Replace all rubber gaskets for the top Replace broken glass in top Install bucket seat backs Find a rear seat spare tire holder (the truck came with one from the factory, still has the holes in the floor board) If this all goes to plan I will have everything complete with the exception of the remaining sheet metal work and interior finish work (seat covers, carpet, and rear vinyl panels).

Re: 1972 GMC Jimmy PENNY
And finally the top is back on. It took a little work to get everything to line up but we got it.

Re: 1972 GMC Jimmy PENNY
Thanks guys, I'm not gonna lie seeing the white top with the white wheels made me fall in love all over again. I hope to get the hickey roof rack installed over the winter and make a few small upgrades as parts come along but I'm pretty happy with the changes we have made so far.
