GMC K5 Jimmy

1973 GMC Jimmy Sierra Classic

1973 K5. Registered as a Chevy, marked as a GMC. Started this build in 1999. Rebuilt it 3 times with 3 different tubs trying to get a truly rust free truck. Ended up with a 1978 tub and still replaced the front floors and bed sides. Final build was started in 2011 and finished just in time for KOH 2013. Truck has been a labor of love for a long time, but health and changing interests have made it time for it to go to a new home.
