73 Jimmy Finally Home
Originally purchased July of 73. Sold to previous owner in 74. Daily driver till 1993. Parked in the corner of a heated/ air conditioned garage until Saturday when she finally saw the light of day for the first time in 22 years. Haven't owned a 2nd gen in 30 years. couldn't pass this one up.

Re: 73 Jimmy Finally Home
Part of the negotiation. Had him throw in the box of 8tracks that was sitting in the back of the truck before I closed the deal. LOL

Re: 73 Jimmy Finally Home
Missing. Gone. Nothing there on drivers side. Passenger side is in tacked with small rust spot size of a dime on it. only real rust on truck.
so really looking for driver side. But would take both. I was hoping that when I got the ones from Arizona I could maybe have LMC or Classis etc. repro them. Was told the reason there not reproducing them is because they were not able to get there hands on good originals. |

Re: 73 Jimmy Finally Home
Did you post a want to buy thread in the classified section? If not, you need to. There's a couple of vendors here that specialize in squarebody parts. But those are kind of rare, I think I've seen a pair come up for sale twice in my time here. It would be nice if they were reproduced, lots of guys like to convert the half-cabs to full-verts. Anyway. Look for 1774btcrew in classifieds, shoot him a PM. He may have one or at least can look for you.

Re: 73 Jimmy Finally Home
No. That's a cab support. This is the rocker/torsion box.
Borrowed these pics from russgt build thread. |
