'87 GMC Jimmy
Newbie here. I have an 87 GMC Jimmy with a 350 block that was given to me by my Mother-in-law. It belonged to my late Father-in-law and then was given to my late Brother-in-law. Do you think my mother0in0law is trying to keep a trend? No, but all kidding aside, this truck needs a lot of TLC... its been parked since their passing 4 years ago. If anyone has any tips on a full restooo... please let me know. This will be my first project build.

Re: '87 GMC Jimmy
Looks great! Does it run? There are probably a ton a maintenance projects you could take on to get a feel for it. A good first project, if it is mechanically sound is change out the auto hubs to some locking,(Warn, Superwinch). If it has not already been done.

It has been parked since 07. I got it running this morning. And now I'm just going to gut it out and see what awaits me.

Re: '87 GMC Jimmy
It had a break leak and fixed that already. It also has a fuel tank leak.
