Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
Thanks Guys! A little more done today. I was first a little hesitant to do these, but actually they're pretty darn easy. I did watch a tutorial video first, which did make it easier as well.
Rebuilt the wing windows! Pat |

Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
That is gorgeous !!!!!!!! Wish I had one. All the blazers in Tennessee are very rusty. Hard to find one in that shape. Love it

Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build

Man....we can't wait to get back to Tennessee for our next visit. We have a daughter that lives in Alabama, so we always fly into Nashville. Would love to find a place out there, but we still have ties here too. Isn't there a big Chevy show in Pigeon Forge? Pat |

It's a long video, but gives you some great tips. It makes it very easy, and it really wasn't too hard at all to complete the task. Pat |

A bit more completed!
The trim really sets it off. Getting ready to tackle the top. Pat |

Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
Pretty much complete now.
Of course we all know it's never truly done. I do want to install my gear vendor and attempt to make that work. For now though, I will be repairing the top now, and get it back on the Jimmy. I will be looking for recommendations on top repairs. Hopefully I'll find something in the search category. Pat |

Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
Out of sequence, but I did want to show the door panels.
The foam around the edge is the original that I took off. I just had to utilize contact cement to put it back on. The white panel foam was found underneath of the old carpeting that I removed. Plus a few pics of the underside of the original panels & the arm rest. The panels were in such good shape, I chose not to replace them with reproduction. There just comes a point of when to stop! I'll live with the scratched wood grain. I would like to find an original for the passenger side, as the wood grain is worn through in a few places. Pat |

Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
Great job Pat! Cup holder looks slick. Thanks for the build thread. Can I have the step side?

Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
Really nice work.
I have the Chevy twin to this K5 in storage. White / Blue CST. You're motivating me to get it out of storage and get to work on it when I return to San Diego. |

Not many options for cup holders for these old trucks, so I just made something up. Actually, it works pretty darn good. Pat |

Re: Ptjsk '72 Jimmy Build
I bought this about 10 years ago from the original owner in Arizona. I got it running and driving real good, now it's time for the cosmetics. I will get to it when I retire next summer.
