I am very happy to member of this great board.
I have a lovely hard cab gmc airportable dump/cargo , i have owned it for about 4 mounths now and have already done a fair bit of work to the old girl...When i first got it her i was given all the metal work for the cargo seats and the metal uprights...all abit rusty..I had no wood work for the seats no bows etc...And a slipping clutch.....so my first job was to go to the local timber yard and buy some wood , cut to size , paint , de-rust all the metal work and paint...and i think i have gone a good job with doing all that.
Next was the clutch...I have never done a clutch even on a car before so it was all a learning process...I am a long distance truck driver myself and i quickly learned of the guy who has most of all the new old stock of jimmy parts in the uk...Rex Ward....So a few trips to rex in my works truck for clucth parts..new spigot bearing , thrust bearing , pressure plate spring , friction lining , and some great advice on how to do the job , along with a PDF Format of the TM Manual , and with the help of 2 friends the gearbox was out and the new clucth in...the old one was down to the rivets on the friction linning ...gearbox back in and she is running great again...I have also replaced some worn parts on the steering ends..the pins....
So thats my jimmy story to date...Here are some pictures of her
