1972 GMC Jimmy

The original Jimmy was a short wheelbase truck. It was available in 1969 as 4-wheel drive only in 1970, a two-wheel-drive model was offered. There were four choices for power plants the 250 in straight-6, the 292 straight-6, the 307 V8, and the 350 V8. The Jimmy was designed and marketed to compete with International Harvester Scout and the Ford Bronco. Both of these were originally aimed at the short Jeep CJ series, which were much smaller than other trucks. The great innovation of the Jimmy was to simply offer a shortened pickup truck, which both increased interior space, and lowered the cost of production with a shared platform. The Jimmy quickly became popular. For the first time, it married the off-road capabilities of the Scout with the luxury features like air conditioning and automatic transmissions routinely available on pickup trucks. By 1970, the Jimmy was already outselling both of its older rivals. Ford, Dodge, and even Jeep would counter with similar shortened pickups, with the Dodge Ramcharger and Jeep Cherokee. It also came as a convertible. have owned this Jimmy for 3 years. Has been converted it from an average, ho hum, truck to a show stopping beauty. 350ci V8 Runs and sounds great!
