Re: my 74 jimmy build

Me to i just realized that yesterday going threw my phone i had pics of a 73-76 passenger door so this weekend im going to bring it out and cut the door so i can open and close the passenger door with a lil more ease and it not look like crap also still trying to get it to run right put new plugs in it and a newer carb i got from a buddy and new points. So ive decided to ditch the points and put in a newer style distributer and it is getting gas. I will update more this weekend

Re: my 74 jimmy build

Those look like they match your interior. Do you have the K5 seat bases?

The PO of my 79 welded some junkyard seats to the factory bases. I used an air chisel and grinder to separate them. They got a little teaked in the process but I can get them back in shape. If yours aren't cut too bad, I'd at least try.
