Hello everyone you are looking at a very hard to find original truck, this truck has been well kept and has original paperwork along with maintenance records.The history of this truck goes as follows. The original owner was a Sammy Gholson who lived in Tucumcari New Mexico. He mainly used the truck for recreational purposes, the truck had a tow bar in front when I purchased it .he would haul the truck up to the mountains for hunting. The truck has the oldschool paper records that were kept in a small plastic slot the most milage recorded on those is 9,000. The truck also has an old Goodwrench dealer sticker on the inside of windshield when I purchased the truck it had 43,000 original miles on it, the service sticker was due at 44,000. Some of the original paper work includes a registration from 1977, Fuel economy booklet ,owners manual ,service parts identification sticker, and a installation manual for the Edelbrock intake that was added in the 80s. This truck was originally a 2 barrel carb setup which was upgraded with a quadjet. Sticker on the radiator support calls for a 2 barrel carb. if you look closely at the engine compartment you will see the fire wall still has its original factory chalk marks. So with all that said Don't miss out on the chance of owning a good restoreable original convertible classic.

Engine
This engine has the matching serial number to vin has all original parts except for the intake, and carb. I have used the truck regularly and have maintained the oil and installed new intake gaskets, valve cover gaskets, and thermostat.

Transmission 
Serial numbers also match the vin automatic transmission turbo 350 full time four wheel drive.Transmission shifts smooth

Electrical Components
All Lighting is fully functional brakes,turn signals running lights high/low beams and cluster lighting. radio not working I've never really bothered with it. cig lighter is good. Air Conditioning fully functional, heater works. ALL gauges are also working and marking as they should.

Rust/Body
Yes like most all these old trucks it has rust, The rear lower corner behind wheel has rust,front passenger fender has rust, and tail gate has some rust behind the lower trim. Beyond that the floors are solid and wont be a hard restoration if thats what you plan on doing. The body of the truck is not perfect and has been painted once before and will need body work has very small dents and scratches paint is faded and peeling. As far as I can see this truck has never been in any major wreck the frame also has the matching vin number stamped on top rail on driver side engine compartment.

Interior
The truck has the original front seats the driver was badly worn and the passenger was also a bit worn. Rear seat was missing and I was lucky enough to find one at a local junkyard. I wrapped the seats with Mexican blankets because the vinyl would get too hot in the summer to sit on. Front seat portion of the truck has original rubber mat the rear was recently installed.

Suspension/wheels
The Jimmy rides on a factory setup and has not to my knowledge been altered in any way, rides and drives real smooth on the freeway. The power steering works excellent, brakes working properly. The truck sits on a set of wild country tires original 16 inch 6 lug steel wheels I also have the spare with an original tire

GM recalls 330,000 fullsize trucks for airbag replacement

Sun, May 31 2015

General Motors has announced a recall of 330,198 fullsize pickups in the US in the aftermath of the announcement made on May 19 that doubled the number of vehicles being called in to replace Takata's defective airbag inflators. That announcement expanded the nationwide recall to an estimated 33.8 million vehicles in the US. Heavy Duty versions of the 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra are included in GM's move, for the purpose of replacing the passenger airbag inflators. The announcement made by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association cited long-term exposure to moisture as a possible cause of the inflator issues. GM says it isn't aware of any problems with the recalled pickups due to moisture, nor has it had any reports of crashes, injuries, or fatalities, and has not received any complaints. GM will notify owners, who can then take their trucks to the dealers to have them repaired free of charge. You'll find a statement from GM and the recall notice from NHTSA below.

GM is not aware of any humidity-related ruptures in Takata air bag inflators in any GM-badged vehicles in the field and knows of no crashes, injuries, fatalities or complaints regarding air bag performance in these vehicles.

5 classic trucks and their polarizing modern revivals

Sun, Mar 3 2024

EVs are helping eliminate Detroit's gas-guzzling problem. Some revivals of gas-powered classics are getting the EV treatment.  But not every revived model looks exactly like its original counterpart. We're in a new era of hulking Detroit metal, and you can thank EVs. Americans can't get enough of their big, beefy trucks and SUVs. But for many years, some of the biggest gas guzzlers fell out of fashion as gas prices rose and emissions regulations tightened. But in the past few years, some of the most iconic American truck nameplates have been brought back to life with electric motors, like the GMC Hummer. In other cases, as with the Ford Bronco, improvements in engine technology and more interest in rugged adventure vehicles made a gas-powered revival possible. Even some revivals that started as gas-powered, like the Chevy Blazer and the Jeep Wagoneer, are now getting electrified spinoffs. (Even if they don't always look quite as sleek as their original inspiration.) Here are side-by-sides of five classic American trucks and their modern counterparts. The Jeep Wagoneer 1975 Jeep Wagoneer and 2024 Electric Jeep Wagoneer SStellantis After a long wait, Jeep released its revival of the classic Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in 2020. Starting later this year, an electric version of the luxury Jeep SUV will join the Wagoneer lineup. The Chevrolet Blazer A 1973 Chevrolet Blazer and a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EVGetty Images, General Motors The Chevrolet Blazer was first rebooted in 2019 as a sporty family SUV. The modern Blazer shares zero resemblance to its boxy, off-roading older sibling, but it has still managed to become one of Chevy's more popular SUVs in recent years. The Blazer EV came later, and was one of the first models GM built on its new Ultium battery platform. The Hummer A Hummer H2 and the 2023 Hummer EV pickup truckGetty Images, General Motors Once the poster child for Detroit's big, bad gas guzzlers, the Hummer got new life as an electric pickup truck in 2021. The Ford Bronco A 1971 Ford Bronco and a 2022 Ford BroncoFord Motor Co. After a rouge group of engineers and designers inside Ford spent years trying to breathe life back into the Blue Oval's boxy off-roader, the Ford Bronco was finally resurrected in 2020 amid a rise in popularity for rugged adventure vehicles.

Driving the Panamera and Mike's Rant | Autoblog Podcast #487

Thu, Sep 8 2016

This week we cover some recent news like the upcoming Land Rover Discovery, updates to FCA's large car platform (including the Challenger), and talk about water injection. Then we go into what we've been driving - David just finished his time in the Porsche Panamera Turbo and Mike tried the GMC Acadia. And then Mike (who is still uncomfortable writing in the third person) goes on a rant about why automakers shouldn't specify which cars are aimed at women. The rundown is below.
