Vehicle Description
This custom 1973 GMC Jimmy has undergone a no-expense-spared
18-month, frame-off restoration. It is powered by a new Blueprint
crate 6.2-liter LS3 engine and is backed by a rebuilt 6L80E
transmission with an advanced adapter supporting the NP205 transfer
case. This new crate engine is 530hp with 495 ft/lbs of torque and
10.7:1 compression, and has aluminum heads, hydraulic roller cam,
nodular iron crankshaft and hypereutectic pistons. The engine
features ceramic-coated Schoenfeld headers, a Dirty Dingo
serpentine system and a custom Be Cool aluminum radiator. The
chassis has been media-blasted and has a Satin Black powder-coat
finish. It sits on custom-made 18-inch Curtis Speed 8-lug Rally
wheels wrapped in new 35-inch BFG K02 tires. It features 8-lug Dana
44 axles, Yukon gears, a 4-inch suspension lift and GM heavy-duty
hydro-boost brakes. The chassis is finished off with a stainless
exhaust tied with MagnaFlow mufflers finished with polished
stainless-steel tips. The body has been painted in PPG Hugger
Orange and white and trimmed out with OE-style moldings and new
bumpers. Nearly every part on this truck has been restored or
replaced with new parts. The fully removable hardtop has been
refinished with color-matched Raptor liner, inside and out. The
interior is trimmed out in German square-weave carpet. The original
seat frames have been media-blasted and refinished and upholstered
with factory Orange Plaid Highlander material, trimmed with OEM
white vinyl. The factory center console has been restored and
matches the new black dash. The custom-made rear quarter-panels
have been finished with matching OEM white vinyl and Highlander
plaid. The interior is fitted with a factory roll bar, shoulder
belts and rear lap belts. The interior also features Dakota Digital
gauges and Vintage Air climate control. The stereo is powered by
and OE-style Retrosound Bluetooth radio, 5-1/4-inch KICKER speakers
in custom-made kick-panel pods, two pairs of 6x8 KICKER speakers in
the rear quarter-panels and two 10-inch KICKER subs. It is powered
by two amps mounted nicely under the rear seat.
