I've been thinking this as well as (in GMC tradition) a Pontiac (OHC) 6...
Hello Dennis,

Are you an owner of a '70 Jimmy?

I have a '70 K5 Jimmy. This conversion won't happen to this particular GMC as it has been in the family for 43 years and besides seats, wheels and tires it is staying the same way that it was when Mom bought it in 1971.

Now I'm not saying this wouldn't be a very cool conversion. If I ran into a Jimmy that I had no historical connection to, it could easily be game on for a V-6 swap! Sounds like it could be a pretty simple deal, especially since the V-6 was available in this era of GMC.

I have to ask, is that your brochure? If it is would there be any way you could scan the whole thing for me? I have run into '71 and '72 brochures for fair prices, but never a '70!

Thanks for that pic!---DAC
