1979 GMC Jimmy 1500

The K5 Blazer, was introduced by Chevrolet in 1969. It was designed and marketed to compete with International Harvester's Scout and Ford's Bronco. The edge the Blazer had above its rivals was to simply offer a shorted pickup truck, which both increased interior space, and lowered cost of production with a shared platform. The success of the Blazer prompted GMC, to offer its own version of the truck, The Jimmy. The Blazers and Jimmy's ruled the newly created SUV market for two decades and today remain a favorite choice of vintage 4X4 enthusiasts all over North America.

The GMC Jimmy High Sierra offered here is a great example of a well-cared for and mostly original setup. This early SUV is in remarkable condition and has some very tasteful upgrades done to give the vehicle a beefier look. The High Sierra option was the top of the line that gave you many nice upgrades and more features. These trucks also came with the famous 350 V8 that is dependable and powerful. Full time four wheel drive option was also part of the package that allowed you to shift in and out of 4x4 without worrying about locking the front hubs.
