The Jimmy was GMC's version of the full size Chevrolet K5 Blazer, a short wheelbase 4x4 with a removable hardtop that helped define the classic SUV. This one is a nut and bolt restoration, backed by full receipts for the build, and it is one of the nicest restorations in our showroom. Of 451 documented hours of work, 100 were spent on paint alone.

The Jimmy is finished in Hugger Orange with a Pure White two tone, the kind of color combination you notice from across a parking lot. It wears a new 1971 to 1972 Blazer and Jimmy sheet metal package and a new double wall removable hardtop with a rear hatch. New chrome front and rear bumpers, a new grille with chrome moldings, new headlight bezels, new GMC badging, and new door handles and mirrors finish the look. Green tinted glass, new window seals, and fresh weatherstripping complete the exterior. Powder coated steel wheels with hub caps and trim rings keep it period correct, and retractable side steps make getting in easier.

Under the hood is a new Chevrolet 350 crate engine purchased in April 2024, rated at 290 horsepower on the parts invoice. It is topped with a Holley carburetor and intake and supported by new engine mounts, an electric fuel pump with a regulator, and a new radiator and fan shroud. The transmission has been rebuilt with torque converter lockup components, a new filter and pan, and new cooler lines. The four wheel drive system includes a serviced transfer case and new driveshafts. At the back is a custom DTS GM 12 bolt rear axle with 30 spline axles, 3.08 gears, and a Truetrac differential. The front suspension has been completely rebuilt, with new spindles, ball joints, and steering components. Power steering, new front disc brakes with calipers, a custom rear 11 inch disc brake kit, and a dual exhaust finish the work.

Inside, black leather bucket seats with orange cloth inserts bring a bold pop of the exterior color into the cabin. The refresh includes a black dash pad, black door panels, a new black tilt steering column, molded black carpet, and new seat belts. Rubber floor mats protect the carpet, and sound deadening and new firewall insulation keep the cabin quieter. A complete air conditioning system has been installed and refreshed, along with a new heater core. A modern retro stereo adds up to date sound without disturbing the vintage look.

This Jimmy is an absolutely stunning example, built with a new engine, a new body, a new rear end, and receipts to prove it. It is ready to be driven, shown, and admired.
