1972 Gmc Jimmy Custom Sport Truck on 2040-cars
Helena, Montana, United States
The engine is the original 350 4bbl to the truck. It and the transmission had been gone through not too long
before the truck was no longer driven. It starts, runs and drives as it should. Everything under the hood is
correct. Everything on the engine is as it was in 1972. Correct date coded quadrajet which I did completely
rebuild, all correct brackets, spark plug wire looms, oil fillers, pulleys, brackets, air cleaner etc. I did of
course replace points, plugs, wires, cap, rotor etc. The air cleaner and a lot of other parts under the hood were
blasted and powdecoated satin black. I installed a new power steering pump, new lines, new rebuilt steering
sector box, new tie rod ends and sleeves new AC Battery, all new shocks, pretty much everything mechanical related
to the brakes front to back, Everything is in proper working order. I had the later 70's GM rally wheels
sandblasted and coated in the correct silver color, then wrapped in new BF Goodrich 33x12.50x15 All terrain TA
KO2's. All new center caps and trim rings of course on the wheels.
There is a brand new windshield and seal in the truck, new top glass weatherstrips, door opening weather strips
etc. etc. This K5 doesn't have so much or a rattle or squeak anywhere in it. The rear hatch has new
weatherstripping and shuts tight. You'll be amazed at how quiet this thing is compared to a lot of others.
I replaced i'd say every light bulb in the truck. Turn signals all work, I did instal a new turn signal switch in
the column so the signals now cancel after you turn a corner. Reverse lights, marker light, 4 way flashers, brake
lights all work. Heater works, original cigarette lighter works, high beam low beam lights work, doors lock and
unlock with the key, dash lights all work. The fuel tank was removed and cleaned, an NOS gm sending unit was
installed so the fuel gauge will work for another 50 years. The AC system is 100% complete and is still charged
with R12 freon. The system is in working order. The compressor makes some noise but does work. I had considered
buying a rebuilt compressor but don't know where I would find more R12 to recharge it. The system could be
converted to R134 if someone cares to do it.
The speedometer, oil, water, and volts gauges all work properly, the horn works perfectly. Also I installed a new
Comfort Grip steering wheel package designed for the 69-72 column.
I don't mean to bore anyone to death, I just want to be as thorough as possible while describing this truck. Other
than the tires, wheels, steering wheels, and 8 track stereo, this ole K5 is dead bone stock. And is so much fun to
drive and enjoy that way. If someone would like white steal wheels with original hubcaps and stock tires, that can
be arranged as well.

Chevy Colorado configurator goes live as GM touts fuel efficiency
Wed, 03 Sep 2014While the news of today is destined to be dominated by a certain plucky Japanese roadster, props to Chevrolet and GMC for announcing its own significant bit of news about their newest pickup twins, the midsize Colorado and Canyon. The two GM-owned brands announced that the twins' 3.6-liter V6 will return up to 26 miles per gallon on the freeway.
To get such efficiency from the 305-horsepower mill, you'll need to live without four-wheel drive and be okay with a max city fuel economy of 18 mpg. The combined rating for the 2WD model sits at 21 mpg. Adding four-wheel drive drops the city and combined ratings by one mpg, while the highway rating dips from 26 to 24 mpg.
As for the twins' eagerly anticipated 2.8-liter diesel engine, it's destined for model year 2016, meaning we've got a ways to go before its efficiency and output are certified.
2015 GMC Canyon gets the party started [w/video]
Sun, 12 Jan 2014The 2014 Detroit Auto Show press days officially kick off tomorrow, but the night before all the madness commences, General Motors drove its new 2015 GMC Canyon pickup truck out for all to see. To refresh your memory, the Canyon is GMC's new midsize pickup - essentially a re-skinned version of the Chevrolet Colorado that debuted at the LA Auto Show in November.
Many of us at Autoblog prefer the look of the larger GMC Sierra to that of its Chevy Silverado kin, and we're having similar feelings about the new Canyon, especially after seeing it in person. It's sort of a pint-sized version of the Sierra, and it looks great. Clean lines are found throughout, and the Canyon's styling is decidedly premium.
At launch, the Canyon will be offered with the same engines as the Colorado - a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine with 193 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque on the base end, and a larger 3.6-liter V6 with 302 hp and 270 lb-ft as an option. The Colorado's 2.8-liter diesel inline four-cylinder will be available after launch. Both two- and four-wheel drive configurations will be available, depending on the model.
2015 Chevy Tahoe, Suburban and GMC Yukon unveiled
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has today unveiled its new family of fullsize SUVs, including the 2015 Chevy Tahoe, its longer Suburban sibling, and their GMC Yukon, Yukon XL and Yukon Denali cousins. More efficient powertrains, improved aerodynamics, increased connectivity and better overall refinement are what Chevy and GMC say will separate their new SUVs from the current generation.
Sporting a tried-and-true body-on-frame architecture, these full-size SUVs feature platforms that are stronger and offer a wider rear track for "a more planted stance," according to Chevy and GMC. Mounted at the front of each SUV is an EcoTec3 powertrain, which consists of a standard 355-horsepower, 5.3-liter V8 (or a 420-hp, 6.2-liter V8 for the GMC Yukon Denali alone) with direct injection, cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing, that's paired with a Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission. The setup is said to be more efficient than before, though official EPA fuel economies for each vehicle are not yet available. To help the powertrain achieve the best possible fuel economy in these 5,000+ pound SUVs, the new styling was developed with aerodynamics in mind. For the same reason, electric power steering also makes its debut in the Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon family.
The front fascias of the Chevy Suburban/Tahoe and GMC Yukon are distinct, but from the base of the A-pillars back, they share most of the same styling cues. This now includes inlaid doors that tuck into the door sills, instead of over them, which improves aerodynamics and fuel economy, and lessens interior noise. The hoods and liftgate panels now are made of aluminum in an effort to reduce vehicle weight. Chevy and GMC also tout that the Tahoe/Suburban and Yukon don't share a single piece of sheetmetal or lighting element with the brands' full-size pick-up trucks.
