5.3L V8 1979 GMC Jimmy Restomod

5.3L V8 1979 GMC Jimmy Restomod

This 1979 GMC Jimmy has been transformed into a restomod with modern performance features. It comes with a new rust-free body from Arizona, a 5.3-liter V8 engine sourced from a 2006 Chevy pickup, and a host of upgrades including an LS6 cam, new intake, and Tahoe 4-link rear suspension. The vehicle also features disc brakes on all four wheels and a gray interior sourced from a donor vehicle. With a lowered stance and over 200,000 miles on the odometer, this Jimmy balances classic GMC styling with contemporary comfort.
