1982 GMC Jimmy Sierra Classic 4x4 With a 350 V8

This 1982 GMC Jimmy Sierra Classic 4x4 SUV is a sharp example of the -square body- Chevrolet and GMC trucks and SUVs that have become increasingly popular. When you add bright red paint, a slightly lifted stance, and aggressive tires as seen on this one, it makes for an attractive package.- this Jimmy has a newer engine and a 4-inch suspension lift, along with a new steering shaft and new tires. - the paint is only a few years old and it looks great, in his opinion. - The original engine, per the emissions tag on the radiator brace, was a 305-cu.in. V8. That has since been replaced with a 350-cu.in. OHV V8 crate engine, which has about 10,000 miles of use since its installation. He does admit that the carburetor's choke could use some adjusting for cold starts, but there isn't any smoke on start up. There also aren't any leaks. The provided photos show an aluminum Edelbrock intake manifold and exhaust headers. The GM Turbo Hydra-Matic 350 three-speed automatic transmission has been fitted with a B&M shift kit and it -shifts good as it should- in the seller's opinion. The floor-mounted shifter is also a B&M product. The red paint is a -few years old- and it looks great, in the seller's opinion, although he does note some minor swirls and chips. He points out one small rust spot over the driver's door and admits a broken lock prevents the tailgate from opening. The glass and window quality is good. All the lights work. - The seats were redone in gray cloth with red piping and they're in perfect condition,- the floor covering is vinyl that's in great condition. The seller points out that the carpet piece on both doors is missing and the trim around the aftermarket CD player is cracked. All the gauges work and some extra Auto Meter gauges have been added. The heater works but the air conditioning doesn't, which is explained by the missing lines shown in the engine compartment photos. The A/C compressor appears intact.- the power locks work and the power windows go up and down slowly. - This Jimmy has a 4-inch lift kit and that all the shocks and bushings are in good condition. - the steering is good because a new Borgeson U-joint steering shaft was recently installed. The power steering doesn't leak and the brakes are in good condition, who isn't sure of the suspension service history. The 33x12.50R15LT BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A K02 tires are -brand new- , and this is confirmed by 2022 DOT date codes. - the factory Rally wheels have been refurbished. This restored and modified 1982 GMC Jimmy Sierra Classic 4x4 SUV is on the market so the seller can buy a house.
