pick a part has a 4 dr 97 jimmy 4wd 5sp!!!

from my understanding the rear dif in these are the 8.5"(read this somewhere) which is the same as a zr2 dif but with standard width!!! so it would be a direct bolt in without changing your stance

also an IRON FRONT DIFF!!!


getter while it's still there I would have grabbed both by now but with christmas and all, I will have to wait....
found where I read it...

To my knowledge, GM never produced a manual transmission 4dr (at least not a 2nd gen anyhow). Not to say that some industrious person couldn't make it happen though.

Other than that, it may have an iron front diff housing, but I don't think they all did.

I've never heard of a 5 speed 4 door, but thats a pretty good find if you pull the axles off, maybe swap the 5 speed too?

I just saw it on their website, so it's possible it's a mistype
"GMC S10 Jimmy 1997 4DSUV 4.3 Sfi Std K 4x4 Black 65-10-1752"

they are by far the cheapest wrecker around here.

probably not as cheap as down in the states though :P
