77Jimmy
1/2 ton status
Hi All.
Been a long while since I posted up...life got real busy. Anyway, I have decided to sell my Jimmy...not enough time and money to do the stuff I want to do to it. I have had it for about 2 years now, have put less than 2,000 miles on it since I've had it, and have driven it once a month. It’s basically bone stock, nothing fancy, but it’s been garage kept the entire time I’ve owned it (while my Ford F-150 parks outside). I think it would be a great place to start for someone wanting to build it up.
I’m asking $1500 it. Here are the details, some stuff I’m including in the sale, and some history/descriptions.
Details
-- 1977 GMC Jimmy
-- Approx 135k total vehicle miles (odometer says 165k ish b/c when I first got it, I took apart the dash to get at the 4wd lights, started tinkering w/ the odometer to see how it worked and ended up breaking the 10,000 th’s digit, so it will now forever say X6X,XXX...true story)
-- Approx 20-30k miles on rebuilt 350 (new plugs in engine, engine timing could be freshened up)
-- th350 tranny (shifts great)
-- np203 tcase (part-time; I engaged it every time I drove it to keep things lubricated)
-- 35x12.5x15 Futura Dakota tires on stock rally wheels w/ new lug nuts, approx 3k miles on tires
-- D44f, 12b rear w/ 3.08s
-- New bearings, races and seals in the front wheels
-- New diff fluid and diff cover on the rear axle (everything looked good in there, no chips in the teeth); never opened up the front diff, but could probably use some new seals
-- used Kayline snap style soft top (great shape; you’ll get the original white hard top as well, no sliders)
-- new Hayden stack plate tranny cooler
-- new Hayden tranny temp guage and plug installed in tranny pan
-- new SunPro tachometer
Also including in the sale
-- 4 used BF Goodrich Trail T/A 31x10.5x15 tires and wheels w/ approx 10-20% tread left (were on it when I bought it; also including the knockoff spare tire and wheel)
-- 4 used Trailmaster SSV shocks and 1 steering stabilizer (just never got around to installing them)
-- New in box Actron timing light
-- 2 3-ton jack stands
-- 1 3-ton jack
-- 1 membership to CK5
Other info
-- some rust repair in the doors (prior to me) as you can seen in the pics
-- tub and rockers are in great shape, very very little rust.
-- the paint on the hood is shot and the front lip of the hood is rusted out pretty good (I think the prior owner parked it under a pine tree. I’d suggest going to a yard and finding a replacement hood).
-- the front seats are in good shape considering the age, and the back seat is in great shape.
-- I ripped out all the carpet (except in the front).
-- the inside rear panels are in decent shape but some of the small screws are missing, so I’d probably just rip them out and create your own panels.
-- there is a very small leak in the seal in the tranny shifter (see pics in my gallery).
-- Also, there were no leaks around the tranny pan prior to me removing it the first time so I could change the fluid/filter and put in the tranny temp plug. I ended up having to get a new tranny pan and have not been successful in getting it to seal 100%, so it leaks a little around the pan.
I’ll update this post w/ pics asap, but here is a link to my gallery in the meantime.

If you have questions and/or if you would like me to take any additional/particular pics, let me know at [email protected] or just send me a pm. Of course, if you’re in the area you are welcome to stop by and have a look.
Hope everyone is gearing up for another summer!
