OVERVIEW. Up for sale is a very rear completely restored 1973 GMC Jimmy Blazer multi Port feel injection. Try and find another one like this . The theme of this build was to keep it as original as possible with the addition of modern day technology for horsepower and reliability.
The pictures do not show justice whatsoever. My hope is that the pictures and description will show a fraction of what it is.
I have spent over a year restoring it as my full time job. I purchased the vehicle from Arizona so that the starting platform would have the least amount of rust as possible. I disassembled the truck to the bare frame so that it could be sand blasted properly. Frame axles hood hinges radiator support and seat brackets and everything else black that was Sand blasted was primer and painted with industrial tractor trailer hi quality paint so that the beauty will last for years and does not chip easy and is very durable . There were only 2 rust spots on the floor board that needed repair, which I did.with new same gauge metal and then fiberglass the floor board so it will never rust again. The entire under body is coated with high quality bed liner so that rust will never be an issue. I approached each vehicle category as if it were it’s own project. Each section will tell you which parts are still original (OEM), which parts are new with a general description.
Please call me if you need additional information. Jake (970) 529-6791.
