To DAC you are right the Jimmy was introduced in 1970, never carried the K5 designation either in fact early promotional photos show the typical fender emblem used from 68-72 designating the Jimmy as a 1500 series.

That info you supplied still falls into roughly the area of what my poor memory can come up with! The innacuracy of the Jimmy deal was my proof that Wiki may not be accurate with the other information. Yes K5 was never badged on the Jimmy of the first gen that I have ever seen. My fender emblems just say "GMC Jimmy".
