1985 GMC Jimmy K15

The third-generation C/K series was marketed by Chevrolet and GMC divisions. Marketed primarily as pickup trucks, the C/K trucks were also offered as chassis cab vehicles. Marketed in 1⁄2-ton, 3⁄4-ton, and 1-ton (nominal) payload series, C/K pickup trucks were offered in two cab designs, three bed configurations, and three wheelbase lengths. In response to the introduction of the Ford F-150, the Chevrolet “Big 10” high-GVWR 1⁄2-ton was introduced for 1976.

In our midst and for consignment, some GMC Jimmy greatness. This one a 4×4 K series SUV, often confused with the Jimmy pickup and you’d be correct sir, as these two vehicles were virtually identical save for the location of the fuel tank and the bed covering ‘s ability to be removed on the pickup. Also the addition of a rear bench is on the SUV. This truck has been fully restored, and is virtually new all around. A labor of love, that was just completed in October of this year, so there are plenty of miles harkening to be driven and enjoyed in this large SUV consignment.

Due to modifications of the emissions control devices installed by the manufacturer, please check your local, state, and federal laws to determine if this vehicle is applicable for use on public highways in your area.*

Exterior
Sometimes these car companies leave me scratching my head and this one is no exception. It was called the “round line” and although it is a bit more rounded than previous models, it still, (to me), is mostly square and rectangle design! But that’s just me, I’m not GMC. The frame off restoration included remediating any rust that previously existed, then bathed in white. And not unlike the driven snow shows up perfectly with well minded gaps, and laser straight panels. Chrome trimmings are all in excellent condition, and the front dual dual rectangular headlights setup along with the aluminum grille and big center located GMC badge are all shining like crazy diamonds. Straight steel makes up the side and rear panels, and the fiberglass cap is also white and sports some tinted sliding side windows. The SUV has all new glass as well. On the back is a tow hitch kit, a fold flown gate and shiny rear bumper, and above another tinted rear window for the cap. 15-inch polished wheels are wrapped in 31×10.5x15LT off road tires with raised outlined white lettering. “Lets git a little mud on those tires.”

Interior
A swing of the big front doors reveals some black molded plastic/vinyl materials, a bit of tuck and roll black vinyl, carpeting in black for the lowers and aluminum trimmings. Power toggles for windows and locks are on here as well. I note new weather stripping all around. High back buckets in full vinyl jackets are nice and sleek and pristine. A nice center console flanked by the chairs in the center. A full bench leather back seat is in and looking good to accommodate more passengers. Upfront the curved dash sports a large aluminum dash front peppered with round gauges, temp sliders and AC/heat vents. There is an aftermarket digital vintage looking AM/FM radio in, and also within the black carpeted floor is the 4×4 shifter. Transmission shifting is from a lever on the column right behind the original steering wheel, to the drivers right.

Drivetrain
Im ready to have dinner served on top of this clean pristine fully restored 305ci V8 mill. It has a 4-barrel carburetor, and a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission. On the back is a 10 bolt rear. Our consignor has documentation of complete expenses for the rebuild.

Undercarriage
Let’s just say looking really nice underneath. Clean, rust free stamped and forged steel are ever-present. New power disc brakes and rotors are upfront, and on back new power drum brakes. A Turbo muffler helps the free flow out the back door of the exhaust.

Drive-Ability
I climbed in and was off to the test track after a quick fire up. Here it performed swimmingly with smooth endless acceleration, easy handling, and good solid panic stopping. The AC blew cold, the heat was hot, and all functions were OK save for the speedometer which is non functional thanks to a broken speedo cable. Also I noticed the rear window motor is bad. Look Ma… No cats installed!

A full frame off restoration recently completed, so now it is time for another to enjoy these fruits of a labor of love and our consignor can move on to the next project. Runs like a Swiss watch. “Climb every mountain….” ( get it? the Swiss Watch and mountain reference..but I digress!) Get in here!!
